PROCEEDINGS AVAILABLE FROM SEPTEMBER 2005 CONFERENCE ON
COMMUNITY-BASED COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH
In September 2005 the Northwest Health
Foundation co-sponsored the 2nd Community-Based Collaborative Research
Conference in Portland, Oregon, along with partner organizations including CCPH.
Evaluations from the three-day conference indicated another successful and
valuable conference. A proceedings report that highlights key findings from
the conference sessions and workshops is now available for download on the
Foundation website at http://www.nwhf.org/cbcr/2005_CBPR_Proceedings.php
The report includes links to several of the power point presentations and
posters.
To help the Foundation plan for future community-based participatory
research (CBPR) related activities, they have also posted on the website a
time-limited survey to gather your feedback. Please take a few
moments to fill it out to let the Foundation know of local capacity- and
skills- building needs, networking opportunities and requests, as well your
current research interests. For those of you outside the Oregon and
SW Washington geographical area, feel free to share your ideas for future
conference topic areas and workshops. The Foundation is planning to sponsor
a third CBPR conference in the summer 2007.
You can find the report and survey at http://www.nwhf.org/cbcr/2005_CBPR_Proceedings.php

GAO ISSUES REPORT ON HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION
PROGRAMS
Report Concludes that Action is Still
Needed to Measure Impact
For fiscal years 1999 through 2005, the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency within the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), spent about $2.7 billion to
fund the more than 40 health professions education programs authorized
under title VII and title VIII of the Public Health Service Act. These
programs include those providing grants to institutions, direct assistance
to students, and funding for health workforce analyses. Title VII includes
programs related to the education of providers, such as primary care
physicians. Title VIII includes programs related to nursing education. Most
of these programs were last reauthorized in 1998. The US Government
Accountability Office (GAO) reviewed changes in funding and in the number
of these programs since 1998, HRSAs goals and assessment of the programs,
and HRSAs national health professions workforce projections. GAO reviewed
relevant laws and agency documents and data, and interviewed HRSA officials
and representatives of health professions education associations.
HRSA has published performance goals for title VII and title VIII health
professions education programs but cannot fully assess the programs
effectiveness because the goals do not apply to all the health professions
education programs, and the data for tracking progress are problematic.
Recognizing the need for a better means of measuring the results of title
VII and title VIII programs, HRSA is developing new performance goals and
measures for them. The effectiveness of these efforts will depend upon the
agencys ability to collect complete and timely data to assess progress
toward these new goals.
HRSA has published few recent national workforce projections. In the past
decade, the agency has published national supply and demand projections for
the nurse and pharmacist workforces but no national projections for the
physician and dentist workforces. Yet regular reassessment of future health
workforce supply and demand is key to setting policies as the nations
health care needs change.
GAO recommends that HRSA develop a strategy and time frames to regularly
update and publish national health professions workforce projections. HRSA
agreed with GAOs conclusion that updated workforce supply and demand
projections are vital for informed decision making about health professions
programs.
The full report "Health Professions Education Programs: Actions Needed
to Measure Impact," GAO-06-55, February 28 is available at http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-06-55
Highlights are available at http://www.gao.gov/highlights/d0655high.pdf

MESSAGE FROM
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
|
|
Sarena Seifer
|
One year from today, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health will
celebrate our 10th anniversary at our 10th
conference, to be held April 11-14, 2007 in Toronto. Over the past decade, we have remained focused on our mission
to promote health (broadly defined) through partnerships between
communities and higher educational institutions. During that time, interest and involvement in community-campus
partnerships has grown tremendously in nearly every sector and
discipline in higher education, as have the diverse outcomes being
sought and demonstrated by these partnerships. Increasingly, we are seeing community members and community-based
organizations initiating these relationships and demanding higher
levels of
|
|
institutional
responsiveness and accountability to community-identified concerns. We have learned a great deal about the
ingredients of successful partnerships and strategies for overcoming many
of the challenges and barriers in our way.
But, as the background piece written for this years conference
indicates, we have a long way to go to achieving authentic partnerships as
standard, expected practice. http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/conf-intro2.html
In
the year leading up to our 10th anniversary celebration, we will
be reflecting on our past, assessing our accomplishments and lessons
learned, and looking ahead to where we need to go in the future as an
organization and as a movement. When
I say we, I mean the collective we: our members, readers, supporters and
partners. And as importantly, we
will continue to seek to engage those affected by, or involved in,
community-campus partnerships that are not connected in any tangible way to
this movement.
While
we will be embarking on more formal means of gathering input and ideas,
please feel free to share your thoughts with me at any time at sarena@u.washington.edu.
One particularly
time-sensitive decision we need your input on is the theme of the 2007
conference. This will be our first
conference held outside of the United States and we deliberately chose
Canada because of our growing membership there, our desire to engage more
Canadians in CCPH, our strong partnership with
Toronto-based Wellesley Central Health Corporation and the tremendous
amount to be learned from Canadian models and experiences.

inadequate housing places vulnerable persons at heightened risk of HIV
infection and complicates
access to care and treatment for persons living with HIV/AIDS,
contributing to negative outcomes for individuals and communities. AIDS
and Behavior seeks submissions for a special supplement issue of the
journal on the role of housing with regard to prevention, consequences,
social impact, and response to HIV/AIDS. http://www.nationalaidshousing.org/PDF/AIDS%20&%20Behavior%20Housing-HIV%20Call%20for%20Papers.pdf

Report on
Community-Based Learning: Engaging Students for Success and Citizenship
It highlights the value of the
community-based learning approach to improving academic outcomes, including
test scores, attendance rates, and graduation rates, as well as civic,
moral, personal, social, and work-related outcomes. Research shows
that as many as 60% of all students are disengaged from learning and that
this is a key factor in the dropout rate.
