Leveraging Assets to Improve Health and Equity in Rural Communitiesnado-web
This presentation was delivered at NADO's Annual Training Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska on September 9-12, 2017.
A growing body of research shows that people living in rural communities experience inequities in health and well-being compared to their urban counterparts. The NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is conducting formative research to explore opportunities to improve health
and equity in rural communities using an asset-based community development approach. This session will provide an overview of rural health disparities data, followed by preliminary findings and key recommendations to strengthen rural communities
based on an enhanced understanding of culture and history, priorities, assets, partners, and promising strategies unique to and common across rural communities and regions.

This presentation was part of Embody's Safe Healthy Strong 2015 conference on sexuality education (www.ppwi.org/safehealthystrong). Embody is Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin's education and training programs. Learn more: www.ppwi.org/embody
DESCRIPTION
Institutional and social barriers place Latino families in the U.S. at greater risk for adverse health outcomes, often facing unique challenges to healthy sexuality and access to reproductive health care; the services available are often not linguistically or culturally appropriate. To help Latinos navigate the health care system and address their need for culturally relevant health information, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) utilizes specially trained lay community members as frontline public health advisors. Promotores de Salud have firsthand knowledge of the issues affecting the communities in which they live and serve, and through direct education and training in homes and other familiar venues, become trusted resources. The workshop described the Promotores model and explored how community health advisors can model and teach health literacy skills in underserved communities.
ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
Maria Barker, Multicultural Programs Manager at PPWI, is a bilingual (Spanish/English) community educator of Mexican origin. She has facilitated reproductive health education programming including hundreds of home health parties for the Latino community since 2003. She is well recognized for training and using lay community workers known as Promotores de Salud to reach the Latino community. Maria is a graduate of the Latino Nonprofit Leadership Program through UW-Milwaukee and Cardinal Stritch University, and is a Certified Sexuality Educator by Planned Parenthood of Western Washington and Centralia College.
Al Castro, MS BSSW, Program Director at the United Community Center of Milwaukee, manages the UCC Health Research Department, which collaborates with universities to conduct community-engaged research to develop programs and services that address health issues and inequities in the Latino community. Castro holds a BS in Social Work from Carroll University and an MS in Business Management from Cardinal Stritch University. Castro is a licensed social worker in Wisconsin and is fluent in Spanish.
Angeles Soria Rodriguez, a Mexican immigrant, started her community service by helping co-workers and neighbors access health care, hospitals, courts, DMVs, and other resources. When Angeles moved to Milwaukee, she volunteered at community organizations and attended comprehensive trainings about cardiovascular and mental health, financial management, and nutrition. Angeles now concentrates her volunteer efforts on creating leadership among Latina women and reducing Latino obesity. As a health promoter at PPWI, she uses the Cuidandonos Creceremos mas Sanos curriculum she helped develop to facilitate home health parties that help Latino families get comfortable talking about healthy

Social Determinants of Health in ActionHealthy City
Social determinants of health: Exploring how to put health research into action using data and mapping
This webinar will explore various ways to put health research into action by using data and mapping tools. We’ll use the Social Determinants of Health as a frame to present examples of ways to map services in your selected geography, how to map demographic and health data such as poverty and education; and how to work with different features on HealthyCity.org to support your work.
A Holistic Approach to Women s Health, Data and MappingHealthy City
In this webinar we will discuss:
* Changing the lens when analyzing data on women’s health by considering mind/body/spirit
*A day in the life of two women: what do women need to lead comprehensive healthy lives?
*Tools and resources available on HealthyCity.org
*Moving from information to action
This webinar will demonstrate how to use HealthyCity.org to enhance your grant proposals and reports with visually impactful and relevant data and maps. Learn how to access data highlighting the needs and opportunities within your communities and how to make the case that your program will make a difference.
Maps help communities tell stories.Maps help connect the dots between data and people within specific geographic locations. Maps can also reveal unique, place-based issues that quantitative data alone cannot. Maps can also be repositories for community knowledge which can assist advocates, community-based organizations, policy-makers and funders to communicate community needs to a broad audience clearly, quickly and dramatically. In this webinar we will cover map making basics using HealthyCity.org.
You will also learn:
* How maps are used for research and action
* Key elements of map design and mapping methods
* Considerations and best tips for creating effective maps
Healthy City's Community Research Lab (CRL) shares best practices and methods for community-based organizations interested in supporting their strategies with research that combines community knowledge + Healthy City technology. The CRL is a resource for collaborating, networking, learning, and innovating with community-based organizations to lead and sustain research for social change. Using the Community Based Participatory Action Research framework, we partner with organizations to develop, implement, and disseminate community research projects, tools, and workshops.
Earlier this year, we received a two-year grant to provide our CRL Workshop series throughout California! In these workshops, we provide step-by-step guidance on topics that cover:
• how to develop research questions
• how to create effective community maps
• how to facilitate participatory mapping
• how to share maps and data with local community members
The workshops also include:
• facilitated activities training participants how to collect community feedback for advocacy, organizing and other projects
• sessions on how to develop strategies where community members can give input to telling their community’s story.
We are currently preparing to launch the first round of the workshop series in: Sacramento, Central Valley, and the Inland Empire!
Healthy City works with community-based organizations to apply Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) in their mapping and community-engagement work. CBPAR starts with issues and strategies to produce analysis, uses mapping technology as one tool for community engagement and focuses on communities within a geographic location, such as a neighborhood. Using CPBAR in mapping facilitates engagement, education, strategizing, and dialogue among community members--including youth--and decision-makers.
Including young people in map making allows them to contribute their unique knowledge and lived experiences as community residents. Youth can provide invaluable insight and can act as change agents advocating on behalf of their communities. Whether you are a Youth Organizer, Community Liaison or Direct Service Provider, there are a number of ways you can incorporate and share youth data and stories using a variety of free resources and tools available on HealthyCity.org to build community power.
In this webinar you will learn how to:
1) Research and map youth population data to enhance program focus and planning on healthycity.org
2) Upload your own data onto a map
3) Use Wikimaps to better plan, collaborate and share youth outreach strategies and stories

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

9. The Immigrant Health Paradox
Despite lower levels of education and income,
immigrants are generally healthier than the US-born
population
Lower mortality (Jasso et al., 2002; Muennig and Fahs, 2002)
Lower rates of obesity (Gordon-Larsen, 2003)
Better mental health (Dey and Lucas, 2006)
Lower rates of heart and circulatory disease (Singh and Siahpush, 2001)
However, as their length of residence increases, so does the prevalence
of poor health behaviors and chronic conditions (Kaplan, 2004)
10. The Acculturation Hypothesis
Acculturation
The acquisition and integration of dominant cultural norms by
members of a non-dominant group (Gordon-Larsen, 2003).
Over time, immigrants integrate American behavioral norms and
lifestyles (Gordon-Larsen, 2003).
Immigrant dietary patterns
More fruits and vegetables (Satia-Abouta, 2002)
Less processed foods (Akresh, 2007)
Americanization
Eat less fruits & vegetable (Neuhouser, 2004)
Eat more red meat & processed foods (Ayala, 2008)
Less exercise (Lanza, 2005)
Increase smoking & drinking (Detjen et al., 2007)
11. Research on acculturation and Type-2 diabetes
Limited research exists on the association of length of
residence and type 2 diabetes outcomes
Research that does exist has two limitations…
1) Regional sample
2) Self-reported data to measure diabetes

13. Research Question and Hypothesis
RQ: Does nativity and acculturation affect diabetes health outcomes
among Hispanics?
H1: Hispanics born in the US will be more likely to suffer from diabetes than
foreign born Hispanics.
H2: The longer foreign born Hispanics are in the US, the more likely they
are to have diabetes.
