Editor's Notes
- Does not include violence prevention, HIV, cancer, heart disease, public health infrastructure, not b/c they aren’t important and relevant but because we had to focus.
- Needs 09 data
- Needs new graph made. - 31.8/1000 birthrate for women under 20; however the high rate communities are as high as 54.7/1000 72% of all teen births occur in just 34 communities According to the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey: 44.9% of 9 th graders report having sex (YRBS 09) 34.9% did not use a condom during last sexual intercourse (YRBS 09)
- Healthy Chicago identified 56 policies, only a fraction of what is needed to truly create a Healthy Chicago. We have worked continuously to add new policy strategies as opportunities arise, and this is the area where we will grow the agenda most moving forward. Let me share with you some of our policy success that support healthy women, children and families.
- All 19 birthing hospitals in Chicago have completed the assessment to become certified as a Baby Friendly Hospital, as defined by the World Health Organization. 10 of these have officially entered the pathway to become Baby Friendly: 5 are in phase 1 5 are in phase 2
- Board of health issued standards for child care centers in 2009 regarding nutrition, physical activity and screen time. With support from the Sprague Memorial Institute, and in partnership with the Erikson Institute and Illinois Action for Children, nearly 90 trainings have been conducted across the City, reaching over 1400 providers. All licensed day care centers should be adopting the standards, which as of 12/20/11 was 743 centers
- . We have 56 schools certified and are working with many others to meet the HUSSC criteria.
- We know that policy change is only part of the challenge. Once supportive policies are in place, we need to ensure that the services and programming is offered to further facilitate healthy behaviors.
- 2011—52% of kids were screened and 2010 57% of kids were screened—clearly not the right direction but in 2012 rolling 12 mo we are up to 54% in February.
- To date, 340 schools and 73,172 have received an exam during the 2011/2012 school year (much data is pending). WE are expanding to see High school students next school year.
- Our educational and public awareness strategies are designed to provide residents with the information they need to make healthy choices and – through training - to provide providers with the tools they need to best help keep Chicagoans healthy.
- This is the winning image from out Chicago Tobacco Prevention Project’s "Quit Week" graphic design contest. The ad depicts some of the negative health effects that secondhand smoke can have on children, and reads: "Exhaled by parents. Inhaled by children."
- This is just a partial list of some of the activities that we are currently work on. We consider Healthy Chicago to be a “living document” and as I said earlier, we are always adding new strategies. I would encourage any of you here today to contact us with potential strategies or ideas. Asthma initiative—pilot with UIC ER; children w/ asthma attack; CDPH will be notified and we will do a home visit (lead Nurse CM) inspector will do a building inspection to determine and rid asthma triggers (under development)
