COMMUNITY-BASED PUBLIC
HEALTH CAUCUS SEEKS
ABSTRACTS FOR APHA
CONFERENCE
Deadline is
February 14 for November conference in Boston
The Community-Based Public
Health Caucus of the American Public Health Association (APHA) invites
abstracts related to the science and practice of community-based public
health for the 134th American APHA Meeting and Exposition to be held from
November 4-8, 2006 in Boston, MA. The theme of the 2006 meeting is
"Public Health and Human Rights," and the Caucus has
a particular interest in abstracts and proposals that reflect this
theme.
The Community-Based Public Health Caucus, approved by the APHA Executive
Board in 2001, is guided by the belief that community lies at the heart of
public health, and that research protocols and interventions work best when
they are rooted in the values, knowledge, expertise, and interests of the
community. Community-Campus Partnerships for Health is a founding
member of the Caucus and many CCPH board members and staff are active in the
Caucus. The current Caucus chair is CCPH board chair-elect Ella
Greene-Moton (http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/boardmembers.html)
The Caucus invites
abstracts that reflect a diversity of community-based public health
activities, including basic and applied research projects, interventions,
teaching and service learning projects. Of particular interest are
presentations that will provide participants with enhanced knowledge and
skills to conduct community-based public health activities, as well as
those that explicitly describe the application of community-based
participatory research (CBPR) to policy change and decision-making at the
local, state and federal level.
All abstracts should be submitted to one of the topic areas listed below,
and should reflect the meeting theme: "Public Health and Human
Rights."
·
Applications

·
Community-Based
Epidemiology
·

Community-Based Public Health Research and Education into Policy and
Decision-Making at the Federal, State and Local Level
The Caucus also invites
submissions of PROPOSALS FOR FULL SESSIONS (90 minutes). These sessions
will consist of five to six presentations (plus a moderator if necessary)
that share a common theme, ideally related to the meeting theme,
"Public Health and Human Rights."
Please note that each individual abstract to be included in a full session
must be submitted through the APHA electronic abstract submission process.
Each abstract will be reviewed independently, and be subject to the same
blind peer review process as other abstracts. Due to limited number of
sessions available for oral presentations, in order for a full session
proposal to be considered, each individual abstract from the proposed full
session must be accepted on its own merit. If all abstracts are not
accepted, the full session will not be considered. However, the
individually accepted abstracts will be considered for presentation within
another topic area session.
In addition to each individual abstract submission, a one-page overview of
the proposed full session must be submitted directly to the planner via
electronic mail at: maty@pdx.edu. This one-page overview should include:
1.
Full
session title
2.
Name
of the lead facilitator and the contact person for the full session
3.
Brief
overview of the full session and how the individual abstracts are
integrated
4.
List
the individual abstracts for the full session in presentation order,
including the following information: abstract number; abstract titles;
author(s); time allocated for each presentation (including discussion).
The DEADLINE for submitting
all abstract and Full Session Proposals to the CBPH Caucus is February
14th, 2006. To submit a proposal, go to: http://www.apha.org/meetings
If you have any questions, please contact CCPH member Siobhan C. Maty,
Portland State University by Phone: 503-725-5108 or Email: maty@pdx.edu or Ellen Lopez, University of
Florida by Phone: 352-273-5361 or Email: elopez@phhp.ufl.edu

Caucus and its guiding principles can be found at http://www.sph.umich.edu/cbph/caucus/.
YOUTH MULTIMEDIA GRANTS TACKLE COMMUNITY ISSUES
ACROSS AMERICA
Eight U.S. community-based
organizations have been awarded grants through the national Youth Visions
for Stronger Neighborhood program, in support of their work to engage youth
in civic participation projects through multimedia technology.
Youth Visions for Stronger Neighborhoods is an innovative three-year
initiative by the Community Technology Centers' Network (CTCNet), funded
through Learn and Serve America, a division of the federal Corporation for
National and Community Service. Grants provide innovative nonprofit
programs with collaborative, peer-driven curriculum development support and
evaluation assistance to empower young adults (ages 14-18) to take action
on the concerns affecting their communities.
The eight sites selected for 2005-2006 are:
·
Appalshop:
Appalachian Media Institute (Whitesburg, KY)
·
Beyondmedia
Education: Girls! Action! Media (Chicago, IL)
·
Chinatown
Beacon Center (San Francisco, CA)
·
DANEnet,
in collaboration with Atwood Community Center (Madison, WI)
·
Deproduction:
The [denverevolution] Production Group (Denver, CO)
·
EducationWorks,
Inc: Germantown Beacon Center (Philadelphia, PA)
·
The
Media Aid Center (Los Angeles, CA)
·
Wide
Angle Community Media (Baltimore, MD)
Youth Visions for Stronger
Neighborhoods incorporates a six-month afterschool-focused curriculum model
that enhances critical thinking skills and civic literacy in young adults.
Youth participants interview and survey their families, peers, and
community residents to identify potential issues of concern. Key topics are
selected by
measuring the range and level of community opinions against the urgency
for, appeal to, and potential solvability by youth. In-depth research draws
upon real-world and online resources, experts, and tools. The resulting set
of knowledge, opinion, and ideas are then synthesized into challenging
multimedia presentations, which strengthen technical, content development,
project planning, and time-management abilities. Drawing upon their
outreach and marketing talents, youth then organize community forums for
their final presentations, engaging community residents and decision-makers
in dialog and planning regarding solutions to the addressed needs.
Since the project's inception in 2004, 23 organizations in 15 states have
been supported through project grants totaling nearly half a million
dollars. 2006 marks the final year of Youth Visions for Stronger
Neighborhood grants. A total of 74 organizations applied and competed for
the final grant cycle. CTCNet will seek continued support in order to make
the curriculum and program infrastructure available to any interested
community organization next fall.
For more information on Youth Visions for Stronger Neighborhoods, please

Founded in 1990, CTCNet (http://www.ctcnet.org) is a membership network of
more than 1,000 organizations that provides resources and advocacy to
improve the quality and sustainability of community technology at the
local, national and international level. Its work is rooted in a desire to
enhance learning, communication, and civic participation through equitable
technology access. CTCNet will host the 15th Annual
National Community Technology Conference, July 27-29, 2006 in Washington,
DC.

MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR
|
|
Sarena Seifer
|
How
can a major research university become an engaged campus? Exciting recent developments at the
University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) provide an inspiring example
as the focus of a session at this years CCPH conference, May 31-June 3 in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In
their CCPH conference session on Engaging a University in Self-Assessment
and Strategic Planning to Build Partnership Capacity, CCPH members Naomi Wortis, Roberto
Ariel Vargas and Ellen Goldstein in the Department of Family and
Community Medicine at UCSF
|
|
describe
the process and outcomes of a Task Force on Community Partnerships convened
by the Executive Vice-Chancellor in 2004.
The Task Force was charged with (1) conducting an inventory of
UCSF's current community partnerships; (2) reviewing the evidence to
support community-campus partnerships and studying best practices at other
institutions; and (3) making recommendations to improve the success and
impact of UCSF's community-campus partnerships. The Task Force Report, issued in August 2005, is available on
the Engaged Campus web links page at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/links.html#Engaged (scroll down to 5th
listing). The report concludes that
community partnerships are not
only in the publics interest; civic engagement is in the interest of UCSF to achieve excellence as an
academic institution and
notes that Although no
academic institution in the United States has a model of a community partnership infrastructure that
will serve as a perfect blueprint for a UCSF initiative, a number of best practices at these institutions
can be modified and adapted
as a base for such an endeavor.
The report includes a chart that presents information about civic
engagement and community partnerships gathered from 11 universities across
the country.
Among the Task Forces recommendations are the
following:
§
Create a formal University-Community Partnerships
Program that will serve as the campus infrastructure for community
partnerships;
§
Designate a leader within the Chancellors
Office who is responsible for assuring that the functions of the
University-Community Partnerships Program are performed;
§
Appoint a University-Community Partnerships
Council empowered to work with the Chancellors Office to guide the
operations of the Partnership Program; and
§
Formally adopt explicit principles of civic
engagement and community partnerships for UCSF as an institution.
UCSF
is already responding to the Task Forces recommendations, having
established the-Community Partnerships Program (UCPP), an institution-wide
umbrella infrastructure to support all community partnership/civic
engagement activities. The UCPP
will be responsible for such activities as developing a database of all
UCSF community partnerships, providing faculty development and support,
supporting service-learning curriculum development, setting up an internal
grants program for partnership projects, and generally advocating for more
institutional value to be placed on civic engagement work. The UCPP is also
establishing a Council comprised of 10 UCSF representatives and 10
community representatives.
Community representatives must be San Francisco residents of the
following targeted neighborhoods: Bayview Hunters Point, Mission District,
Potrero Hill, Tenderloin/South of Market, or Visitacion Valley or
representatives of community-based organizations that focus on health
and/or economic development issues in the targeted neighborhoods and
they must have experience (either past or current) partnering with UCSF on
work related to health and/or economic development issues.
The
Task Force was, in part, a result of a previous collaborative
university-community planning process that led to the creation of the
Community Partnership Resource Center (CPRC) based in the Department of
Family & Community Medicine and led by CCPH member Naomi Wortis,
Director of Community Programs in the Department of Family and Community
Medicine at UCSF. The CPRC promotes
the health and well-being of San Franciscans by facilitating partnerships
between UCSF and local communities, focusing particularly on communities in
southeast San Francisco with significant health disparities compared to the
rest of the city. Learn more about
the CPRC at http://www.familymedicine.medschool.ucsf.edu/community_service/cprc.

Registration is now open at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/conf-registration.html.
A
related CCPH resource is the "Building Capacity for Community
Engagement: Institutional Self-Assessment" tool designed to assess
institutional capacity for community engagement and community-engaged
scholarship, and identify opportunities for action. The tool is available at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/pdf_files/self-assessment-copyright.pdf
The
tools lead author and CCPH senior
consultant Sherril Gelmon will be leading a workshop titled Community-Engaged
Scholarship: Methods and Strategies for Institutional Assessment.

Creating Campus Community: In
Search of Ernest Boyers Legacy
What reviewers are saying:
"Connecting
authentically and deeply with others across all dimensions of life enriches
the human spirit. The sense of community resulting from such connections is
a hallmark of a supportive campus environment, which we know is an
important factor in enhancing student learning. The contributions to this
book offer a vision we can work toward and provide instructive examples
from different types of institutions to point the way." --George D.
Kuh, chancellor's professor and director, National Survey of Student
Engagement, Indiana University
"This
well-written and timely book draws on the lessons learned from five very
different institutions as they attempted to address a major challenge to
higher education-building effective campus communities. Practitioners will
find this to be an invaluable resource and guide as they attempt to bring
Ernie Boyer's vision to life on their campuses. A great tribute to one of
America's leading educators!" --Charles C. Schroeder, professor of
higher education, University of Missouri-Columbia
