In attendance: David Simmons, Dan Veroff, Bill Buckingham, Pam McGranahan, Mamadou Ndiaye, Sam Dennis, Rebecca Paradiso, Suzanne Gaulocher
Updates: Dave Simmons updated CHAMP on a meeting between PHMDC, DFM and APL (was state involved – Larry Hannerhan?). PHMDC has $3000 for an asthma pilot.
Sam and Suzanne updated CHAMP about grants: ICTR (was not awarded). We talked about a proof of concept – need to show how CHAMP impacts health/design of communities. Need to think strategically about what grants to apply for (USDA) with Sam as PI. Find out if Mamadou can be co-PI?
We need to show utility (Built environment variables). CHAMP identified three areas of focus: 1) asthma (specific to DFM clinics, especially Odana Clinic), 2) SES (specifically WIC/MA), 3) Meadowood neighborhood as a small geographic area for our pilot study.
Dan reminded us that maps can be used to elicit community input. How can we engage community? How does it catalyze participation?
Plan: 1. Come up with a proposal/research plan (Suzanne & Sam) 2. data sources (all CHAMP) 3. break up into teams – identify what our responsibilities are and how they fit within our current job descriptions (all CHAMP) 4. timeline (Suzanne)
Tasks for CHAMP: • Demonstrate utility of CHAMP: what is the utility? What questions do we want to answer? Why assess? To what end? • Identify audience: depends on how you collect data and how you present it (ask: who are the users of the data)? • Research website question (Suzanne) • Contribute to Blog: http://champ-wi.blogspot.com/ i. Identify database ii. Utility iii. Proposal/research plan (Suzanne) iv. Research responsibilities v. Edit goal and statement
Short term goal: • We want to inform Neighborhood and Community PHNs to improve their practice (service delivery, interventions, programs, etc.).
Long term goal: • We want to translation CHAMP findings/outcomes back to research, practice, policy and communities. • CHAMP is committed to contributing to the evidence base to inform practitioners in improving their practice: discharge planning, patient monitoring, and compliance. • Committed to community participation
CHAMP to edit & add:
Overarching CHAMP Goal: To combine: 1) population-based data, 2) qualitative assessment of the built/natural environment and 3) community input about health at the neighborhood level in order to better understand the multiple determinants of health and to address both the social and environmental causes of health disparities.
Statement: The Community Health Assessment Mapping Partnership is a transdisciplinary group that will integrate multiple methods to collect and track data to create an interactive community health map. CHAMP will develop a model that will translate findings back to practitioners, researchers, policy makers and communities.
