Presentation by Commissioner Choucair at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Physician Assistant Program for a Public Health Presentation in Behavioral and Preventive Medicine I Course.
Omada Health uses data to identify people at risk for chronic diseases and enrolls them in a 16-week online program with daily health coach support and smart technology to track progress. The program teaches participants about physical, social, and psychological aspects of their condition. After 16 weeks, ongoing support is provided to help maintain healthy habits long-term. Clinical studies show participants lose an average of 4.7% weight in the first year and 10 pounds in 16 weeks, keeping it off for over 2 years while saving $2,000 in medical costs over 5 years.
Post Project Sustainability Study: Health, Wat/San and Agricultural Intervent...CORE Group
The document summarizes a post-project sustainability study conducted in Bolivia 6 years after completing a USAID-funded health, water, sanitation and agriculture project. The study found that communities who participated in the original project were still better off than control communities. Interventions related to maternal and child health, water systems, and agriculture showed strong sustainability over time, though some improvements were needed. Conducting post-project evaluations provides valuable lessons for improving future program design and measuring lasting impact. While challenging, these types of studies are important for assessing sustainability and improving strategic information for projects.
This document summarizes a presentation given by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP). It overviews ODPHP's divisions and their roles in prevention initiatives. It discusses tools and resources provided by ODPHP including Healthy People, dietary and physical activity guidelines, and the Affordable Care Act. ODPHP charges attendees to stay updated on their work, educate others, utilize available tools, and connect with ODPHP through their websites and social media platforms.
This document is a call for papers for a special issue of BioMed Research International on evidence-based public health. It discusses that public health decision making is complex, involving many inputs and the need for consensus. It states that while public health has achieved much in the past century, future success requires greater use of evidence-based approaches. Key aspects of an evidence-based public health approach include making decisions based on the best available evidence, using sound research methods, and engaging the community in the decision making process. An evidence-based approach could provide numerous benefits such as access to higher quality information and more successful prevention programs. The call invites researchers to submit papers on generating and implementing evidence-based public health knowledge and practices.

This document summarizes a health self-assessment process for people with learning disabilities in the North West region of England. It identifies four key targets: ensuring annual person-centered reviews, equal access to health services, safety for those using health services, and developing local services. The assessment found some areas had improved in meeting these targets through actions like increased involvement of advocates and carers, access tools for hospitals, and establishing transition teams. However, the region maintained an overall "amber" rating, indicating more work is still needed. Next steps include all areas developing action plans and considering a joint health and social care self-assessment for the future.
This document discusses the importance of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for maternal and newborn health. It notes that 38% of health care facilities in low and middle income countries do not have an improved water source, 19% do not have improved sanitation, and 35% do not have water and soap for handwashing. Where WASH coverage is poor, death rates from infection are high. The document calls for a bold action plan with leadership from health sectors, increased funding, and consistent international standards to address this crisis.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can offer improvements to mood, focus, and overall feelings of well-being over time.
The document outlines the process and findings of a community themes and strengths assessment conducted as part of the Healthy Chicago 2.0 initiative. Mixed methods were used to collect data, including an online survey, focus groups, oral histories, and stakeholder conversations. Key themes identified from the assessment included safety, healthy food access, built environment, equity, and education. There were disparities found between different community groups in their perceptions of neighborhood quality, resources, and needs. The assessment will help inform the strategic planning process to improve community health.

Chicago Health Atlas is a big database, too. It has de-identified electronic health record data for about one million Chicagoans, with in-patient and out-patient visits spanning from 2006 through 2011, and individual patient records matched across institutions. Much more detail is on the way about all this.
Thanks to the work at Chicago Community Trust, the collaborative has a website that's up and running at ChicagoHealthAtlas.org This serves as the public face of the project - the place where can make data about public health indicators - as well as community assets - available to the public.
Another academic medical partnership is with the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System. Both of us are concerned about the number of uncontrolled pediatric asthma patients and that they were seeking expensive care in the Emergency Department. Building on other studies and our expertise in Healthy Homes and housing-based hazard inspections, we are collaborating in a pilot program aimed to reduce ED visits and improve asthma control. Pediatric asthma patients who are seen in the UI Health’s ED will be recruited to this pilot project (CHAMPS: Chicago Home Asthma Pediatric Pilot Program).
CDPH established Advisory Group as forum for academic and practice partners to discuss data and methods Member Organizations: Chapin Hall Cook County Health & Hospitals System Illinois Department of Public Health Lurie Children’s Hospital—Child Health Data Lab Northwestern University Sinai Urban Health Institute University of Chicago University of Illinois at Chicago The Advisory Group meets quarterly.
