California WISEWOMAN Adaptation of the Spanish New Leaf Curriculum (17712) Marianne Hernandez, MS, California Department of Public Health; Maureen Farrell R.N., F.N.P., M.H.A., California Department of Public Health, California Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program; David A. Rocha, BS, California Department of Public Health, California Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program; Valerie Marden, California Department of Public Health, California Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program The California Well Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) Program is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening and risk-reduction education program which uses community health workers and other clinic-based staff to counsel low-income women on lowering their CVD risk. One California WISEWOMAN program goal was to refine, update, and enhance the nationally accepted Vida Saludable, Corazón Contento! curriculum for California’s Hispanic women, age 40 to 64, and to design a colorful, low literacy manual for counseling women on ways to improve nutrition and increase physical activity. This activity was accomplished through intensive focus groups, key informant interviews, and thorough review and feedback from multiple Spanish speaking subject matter experts. In addition to updated nutrition and physical activity topics, the manual’s revised content included information requested by focus group women and counselors who utilize the curriculum. These additional subjects include: an introductory section on cardiovascular changes specific to perimenopausal women, a one-page assessment of current behaviors and readiness to change, types of cholesterol and their effects on health, blood pressure, glucose, waist circumference, diabetes and osteoporosis. The size was also modified to a smaller 5”X 8” size from the original 8.5” X 11” so the manual could be carried more easily. The Manual del Programa Corazón de la Familia de California successfully went to print and distribution April 2010 to California’s local programs. To date, the manual has received positive feedback from the local clinic counselors and from the women who receive a copy of the curriculum. Missouri and Utah WISEWOMAN Programs have asked to use this manual for their Spanish-speaking WISEWOMAN clients. Leadership, Advocacy and System Strategies for Developing A “Shared Vision” To Reduce US/Mexico Border Health Disparities and Chronic Diseases Crystal Moran, MPH, BCH, Department of Health and Social Services, New Mexico State University Background: The unique health issues e.g. violence, intended injuries and chronic diseases faced by the 14 million residents on the US/ Mexico Border region require the establishment of health policy, which is part of an advocacy process. Agenda-setters play a crucial role in the process of developing health policy, and this process entails appropriate strategies to properly address border health issues. The process that focuses on how health promotion and health policy agendas are set and influenced is Health Promotion Agenda-Setting (HPA-S). Decision makers take action primarily on topics that attain the peak of the policy agenda. One factor that shapes policy in HPA-S is how policy makers choose which issues are most valuable to take action on, a “shared vision”. Methods: Ten interviewees selected from the population of agenda-setters each from Las Cruces, NM, El Paso, TX, and Cd. Juarez were asked to participate in qualitative, point-intime interviews, which included a open-ended question on how to better develop a “shared vision” among border health leaders, advocates and health practitioners. A snow-ball sample was used to allow an opportunity to study the sometimes “hidden” population of border region agenda-setters. Common themes were extracted, coded, and quantified using descriptive statistics. Findings: Beneficial common processes and strategies were found among and between the 3 cities for use by border health leaders, advocates and practitioners to develop a working shared vision to foster health policy development for reducing health disparities and chronic disease in the border area. Conclusions: Collaboration, networking, continuous dialogue, prioritization of issues and sustained salience were among the major common strategies identified that are needed to develop a “shared vision” along the U.S./ Mexico border. Implications for Practice: Implications, based on findings of this research study focused on indentifying strategies to foster a “shared vision” among those in the public, media and policy arenas, reducing border health disparities e.g. violence, intended injuries and chronic diseases, and to develop policy driven border health interventions. The findings serve as a guideline for developing a shared vision among agenda-setters along the U.S./Mexico border region. Concurrent Session D5 REACH/MNO: Leading Minority Communities in Managing Diabetes SOPHE Health Equity Sustainable Solutions: Chapter Collaboration to Address Diabetes Among Minority Communities Nicolette Warren, MS, CHES, Society for Public Health Education; Dr. Swati Raychowdhury, PhD., MPH, Georgia Southern University; Dr. Cassandra Arroyo, PhD, Georgia Southern University; Charlotte Kaboré, MS Community Health and Equity Branch (CHEB) Technical Assistance and Program Support (TAPS) Program Consultant Background: Inequalities in health status among racial and ethnic groups continue to indicate that American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and African Americans/Black (AA/B) are more likely to 38 SOPHE-NACDD 2011 Joint Academy and Midyear Scientific Meeting
develop chronic illnesses than non-Hispanic White populations. Type II diabetes among AA/B and AI/AN communities has some of the most staggering inequities in diagnosis, access to care, and treatment. In addition, prevalence of diabetes among these communities continues to rise. Objective: To address racial and ethnic health disparities by developing and implementing health promotion programs using the latest theory, evidence and skills in social marketing, leadership development, cultural competency, program planning, evaluation and coalition-building. Methods: SOPHE, in collaboration with REACH US CEEDs, partnered with the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a strategic, sustainable initiative to help eliminate health disparities among AA/B and AI/AN communities. Results: This presentation will include dissemination of evidenced-based health disparities elimination strategies and tools to build the capacity of SOPHE Chapters so they may better address health disparities, affect change at the local level, and promote community empowerment. Illustrating a holistic approach, the presentation will address the social determinants of health through interventions based on sound scientific theories that encompass the social, cultural, economic, political, environmental and individual influences on health. Lessons Learned: SOPHE will demonstrate the feasibility of Chapters partnering with community-based organizations and universities to build a foundation for policy and environmental change among racial and ethnic groups addressing health disparities. 11:00 AM- 12:30 PM Plenary 3: Closing Panel Health Reform 911: Weaving a Tapestry for Change from the State Capitals’ Perspective Maryland Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown; Martha King, MPP, National Conference of State Legislatures The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) offers states an unprecedented opportunity to change the face of our health care system to better support the vitality and strength of our families, businesses and communities. Yet, the 112th Congress is debating potential repeal of the Act due to mounting fiscal deficits. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that such action would increase federal budget deficits by approximately $230B over the period 2012-2021 and would result in leaving a total of approximately 54 million people uninsured. Chronic conditions consume more than 75 percent of the $2.2 trillion spent on health care in the United States each year - the equivalent of about 2.5 economic “bailout” packages. This session will provide an overview of how states are weathering the budget storm when it comes to health reform and provide one State Governor’s perspective on how to implement the law to make care more accessible, affordable, and address health disparities and chronic disease management.
