This document discusses the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Health Equity Assessment Tool (ABC HEAT) project. The project aims to provide data on health status, disparities, and social determinants of health at the local level to inform policies. It assigns users to profile communities based on zip codes and community centers using maps and tables of indicators like life expectancy, education levels, poverty, crime, and more. The profiles are intended to juxtapose social issues and health outcomes to help identify health inequities between communities.
This document summarizes a progress report on the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Health Equity Assessment Tool (ABC HEAT) project. The ABC HEAT is a collaborative initiative that aims to provide data on health status, disparities, and social determinants of health to inform public policy decisions. It includes over 90 health and socioeconomic indicators for 33 communities in Albuquerque/Bernalillo County. The report discusses the development of the tool, provides examples of how it can be used to examine relationships between issues like poverty and health outcomes, and seeks support and collaboration from organizations.
This document provides an overview of issues related to reforming the US health sector from a global perspective.

Edward Denys Van Eer - Strategies to Retain Health Workers in Remote, Underse...Isags Unasur
Suriname faces challenges retaining health workers in remote, rural areas with sparse populations and lack of infrastructure and opportunities. To address this, strategies include compulsory work periods, collective employment contracts, infrastructure improvements, and incentives like allowances. The main training institutions are regulated to provide workers for remote areas. However, more can be done to acknowledge and recognize these important health workers through awards, incentives for research, and knowledge exchange.
The document provides information on the Somerset County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). It discusses the goals of conducting a community health assessment which included gathering health statistics through a survey of over 2,000 county residents.

The CHIP was then developed to address priority health issues like maintaining a healthy weight and chronic disease management through goals, objectives and strategies.
This paper studies the effects of Seguro Popular, Mexico's large non-contributory health insurance program. It finds that Seguro Popular significantly reduced catastrophic health expenditures but had no significant effects on health outcomes. Studies on its labor market effects have found mixed results, with some early studies finding no effect on informality but more recent studies using different data finding increases in informality of 0.4-1 percentage points, equivalent to 160,000-400,000 jobs moving into informal work. The paper analyzes different data sources to understand the differences in results and finds the program likely increased informal employment.
This document discusses health systems around the world. It defines a health system and describes key metrics for evaluating health systems like life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and access to resources.

Three key barriers prevent indigent families from fully utilizing PhilHealth benefits:
1) A lack of accredited health facilities, especially in remote areas, means families often give birth at home without coverage.
2) Many families are unaware of their PhilHealth membership and benefits due to insufficient information dissemination.
3) Out-of-pocket costs like transportation and medicines discourage use even when families know their benefits, as the no-balance billing policy is not uniformly implemented.

Community members and stakeholders in North Carolina provided perspectives on health equity as part of a statewide healthy environments initiative. Through focus groups and interviews, they discussed three strategies - farmers markets, shared outdoor spaces, and smoke-free housing. Two key themes emerged. First, "access" - how easy it is for communities to use resources. Factors like location, cost, and safety can create barriers. Second, "community fit" - whether a strategy aligns with community values and norms. Suggestions to improve equity focused on transportation, market hours, safety, and involving both smokers and nonsmokers in policy decisions. The views of community members and stakeholders can help shape culturally-relevant strategies to promote health and prevent chronic diseases

The document summarizes health, economic, and demographic data from 20 maps of North King County created by the Communities of Opportunity partnership. The maps show disparities in factors like preventable hospitalizations, tobacco use, income, and diversity across census tracts. Preventable hospitalizations are most concentrated along the I-5 corridor from Crown Hill to Lake City. Tobacco use is highest above 85th street and centered between Aurora and Lake City Way. The data aims to identify inequities and inform efforts to increase opportunity for at-risk communities.
This document summarizes a presentation on a health impact assessment (HIA) of a proposed Kentucky tax credit to encourage worksite wellness programs. The HIA found that such a tax credit could reduce childhood obesity by educating parents through worksite programs. It may also increase jobs by reducing healthcare costs and improving productivity. The tax credit was also found to potentially improve social cohesion and well-being in workplaces. Preliminary recommendations included enacting the tax credit bill and conducting further research on worksite wellness programs in the state.

This document discusses various methods for collecting demographic data, including population censuses, sample surveys, vital statistics registration, and administrative records. It describes how each method works, their advantages and limitations, and examples of their use in Bangladesh. The key points are that censuses aim to count the entire population but are infrequent, while surveys sample subsets of the population and are more cost-effective. Combining multiple data sources provides the most complete demographic picture. Accuracy depends on minimizing errors like undercoverage.

Use data from New York State Health Dept. and the Census Bureau to compare two communities of your choice. You may also want to try the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control CDC at www.cdc.gov. Another strategy to get information is to "google" your topic e.g. White Plains, New York demographic and mortality data.
The communities may be counties, cities, states or any combination of the two: eg. Westchester and Rockland, White Plains and Yonkers, Overall Westchester and White Plains etc., Bronx and NYC, Brooklyn and Queens, Brooklyn and Statewide or Citywide, New York State and North Carolina etc. HINT Before you finalize the choice of community make sure that you are able to locate material on it.
Please put the data in a table see above. Write a narrative -- a paragraph in length comparing the two areas. (I would suggest that online students prepare a paper copy for themselves). Be sure that your name appears on the report itself if you submit it as an attachment. Also, check that your data clearly indicates whether the number is a number, rate or percentage. If figure is a rate indicate the relevant population e.g. per 1,000, 10,000, per 100,000. See text for more information on rates.
You may attach map(s) and data table from NY State Health Dept. and the Census Bureau to your report. However, the table must report the data.

We believe that decision-makers must have reliable data on health status, disparities, and the effects of social determinants of health. These data must be monitored at the local level in collaboration with the people and families who live there, and funding must be available to promote community participatory assessment to understand these health effects and to promote the application of findings to decision-makers.

Editor's Notes
YOU ARE ASSIGNED TO PROFILE A COMMUNITY. In other words, you will be describing many of the health and social conditions of a particular neighborhood in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. You will be using maps and tables – provided to you in the SharePoint directories – to inform yourselves about these conditions. You will also be visiting those neighborhoods, conducting a ‘windshield survey,’ observing activities at the community centers, and, hopefully, meeting and talking to the people who live in these communities. Let’s use this map to become familiar with the lay-out of the city and county, as you will be seeing it in the many maps supplied to you by the ABC HEAT project. Ask: How many of you know Albuquerque well? Point out: freeways, Big I, river, downtown, UNM, Community Centers and zip codes. I am going to tell you a bit about ABC HEAT and then I would like to show you some of the same maps you saw in the video this morning, but this time the maps will depict those same conditions in our own Albuquerque.
