  Using Community-Based Participatory Action (CBPA) principles, a culturally, linguistically, and community relevant bicycling plan was developed and implemented by a local Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) coalition in a predominantly Latino, underserved community with a history of significant health disparities. Bicycling resources have centered on more affluent and white areas of town, despite advocate efforts to bring these resources to underserved communities. The plan owed it’s success to the leadership/engagement of community members; shared decision-making; community strengths/assets; collaborative, multi-sector partnerships; co-learning; iterative process; addressing the problem through asset-based and ecological perspectives; transparency/dissemination of information; and long-term commitment.

  The REACH Su Comunidad Consortium worked with 10 communities to address disparities in access to healthy food and physical activity opportunities among Hispanic populations through policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) strategies. Community health workers took leadership roles in the implementation of PSE strategies in partnership with local multisector coalitions. This article describes the role of community health workers in PSE change, the technical and professional development support provided to the REACH Su Comunidad Communities, and highlights professional development needs of community health workers engaging in PSE strategies.

  Mounting evidence indicates that community health workers (CHWs) contribute to improved behavioral and health outcomes and reductions in health disparities. We provide an overview (based on grantee reports and community action plans) that describe CHW contributions to 22 Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) programs funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2007 to 2012, offering additional evidence of their contributions to the effectiveness of community public health programs. We then highlight how CHWs helped deliver REACH U.S. community interventions to meet differing needs across communities to bridge the gap between health care services and community members, build community and individual capacity to plan and implement interventions addressing multiple chronic health conditions, and meet community needs in a culturally appropriate manner. The experience, skills, and success gained by CHWs participating in the REACH U.S. program have fostered important individual community-level changes geared to increase health equity. Finally, we underscore the importance of CHWs being embedded within these communities and the flexibility they offer to intervention strategies, both of which are characteristics critical to meeting needs of communities experiencing health disparities. CHWs served a vital role in facilitating and leading changes and will continue to do so.

Health promotion practice, 14(2).
  More info

  Despite significant advances in prevention, Mexican American women continue to experience disparities related to cervical cancer and access to current and relevant health information. To address this disparity a community-campus partnership initiated an outreach program to Latinas in Arizona as one part of an integrated approach. Promotoras (community health workers) provided the leadership in the development of a curriculum to (a) train promotoras on cervical cancer, (b) meet informational needs of community members, (c) address relevant social determinants of heath, and (d) promote access to health care. The purpose of this article is to describe the community-based participatory approach used in the development of the curriculum. Specifically, the article describes the leadership of promotoras, the curriculum development, and the use of continual feedback to inform the quality control. To address cervical cancer disparities for Mexican American women, the Pima County Cervical Cancer Prevention Partnership used principles of community-based participatory action.

  More info

  Diabetes health disparities among Hispanic populations have been countered with federally funded health promotion and disease prevention programs. Dissemination has focused on program adaptation to local cultural contexts for greater acceptability and sustainability. Taking a broader approach and drawing on our experience in Mexican American communities at the U.S.-Mexico Border, we demonstrate how interventions are adapted at the intersection of multiple cultural contexts: the populations targeted, the community- and university-based entities designing and implementing interventions, and the field team delivering the materials. Program adaptation involves negotiations between representatives of all contexts and is imperative in promoting local ownership and program sustainability.

  More info

  Diabetes mortality at the United States-Mexico border is twice the national average. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasingly diagnosed among children and adolescents. Fragmented services and scarce resources further restrict access to health care. Increased awareness of the incidence of disease and poor health outcomes became a catalyst for creating community-based coalitions and partnerships with the University of Arizona that focused on diabetes.

  Digital Stories (DS) serve as a vehicle for community voices in efforts to improve population health in underserved communities. DS are a valuable source of qualitative data for community assessments, program planning, policy, advocacy, and evaluation. DS highlight the community as teacher for service learning orientations. These stories promote effective communication, build consensus and support inclusivity. DS provide opportunities to enhance engagement for those actively involved and for people whose participation is limited due to lack of resources. The stories carry multiple messages, which combined with quantitative data, provide an accurate understanding of community assets and barriers.

  The primary goal of the bicycling center promotes bicycling as a healthy, culturally competent, family centeredmeans of affordable physical activity and transportation through the promotion of safe bicycling practices and awareness. A sustainable bilingual Bike Program Center was created for youth and their families who reside within the Sunnyside Unified School District (SUSD) Boundaries in addition to Drachman Clubhouse members. The Boys & Girls Club (BGC) certified cycling instructor conducts workshops on safe cycling techniques and helps to organize bicycling events in conjunction with BGC staff, volunteers and community residents. The BGC staff are trained in the proper fitting of bicycle helmets and distribute the bicycle helmets by appointment. In addition, the BGC staff are trained in bicycle repair and work with community members of to help them repair and maintain their own bicycles.

  Reach Su Comunidad is a Consortium of organizations that have demonstrated commitment with the community health worker model to improve the health of Hispanic populations in 15 selected communities from Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, and Washington by supporting the leadership of local community organizations using the community health worker model. This Consortium is integrating a unique community empowerment and ecological public health model to improve the health of Hispanic populations among the 15 communities by utilizing policy (P), systems (S) and environmental (E) strategies guided by community health workers.A transformative process approach is being implemented to guide the goals and specific objectives set by the 15 sub-recipients within the targeted States for specifically supporting proper nutrition, physical activity and healthy changes in weight. These processes include: 1) establishing a functional multi-sector community coalition to constitute the "community leadership team"; 2) utilizing a community assessment/policy scan to drive the community health worker model for implementing PSE activities in vulnerable Hispanic communities; 3)advancing health equity by integrating the community health worker model as part of an integrating into community-level PSE strategy implementation approach of building the infrastructure of the 15 sub-recipients; 4) receiving an ongoing process of technical assistance by the Consortium that includes a comprehensive toolkit with an in-depth ecological evaluation to measure components of the PSE activities lead by the community health worker model itself and its features. This presentation will provide highlights of all of the components of the Reach Su Comunidad Initiative.

  The REACH Su Comunidad Consortium focuses on building leadership of community health workers (CHWs) beyond direct service to address racial and ethnic health disparities and the social determinants of health through high-impact community health strategies, including systems and environmental approaches in their communities. REACH Su Comunidad places a special focus on Hispanic/Latino communities. The members of the panel will describe the REACH model, the role of CHWs in public health, CHW and community member leadership development, and evaluation. Community health workers from two REACH Su Comunidad communities will describe the initiatives in their communities. A proposed financing model will be presented to address sustainable financing for both direct-service and community-based prevention work by community health workers.
