Not in Mama’s Kitchen
|
|
 
|
What
if you could reduce death and diseases from asthma, sudden infant death
syndrome, breast cancer and a number of respiratory diseases within your
community? What if you could
accomplish this through positive community education and faith based
outreach? Think it’s beyond your reach?
Think again!!! Caffee,
Caffee and Associates, Public Health Foundation, Inc. (CCA), a non-profit
agency has assisted communities across the U.S. in designing and
implementing successful and powerful outreach activities shown to effect
change, garner community cohesiveness and motivate families. Where does it start? Why “Not In Mama’s Kitchen”, of
course!
|
NIMK,
a program developed by Brenda Bell Caffee, Executive Director of Caffee,
Caffee and Associates Public Health Foundation, Inc., (CCA) is dedicated to
improving the health of families in diverse communities, while enhancing
capacity building skills among community and grassroots organizations. One of the great focal points of NIMK is
in the education and prevention of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)
exposure. ETS exposure in the home,
which is completely preventable, is an important predictor of increased
morbidity among children (Office of Smoking and Health). Researchers estimate that second-hand
smoke is responsible for between 40-60% of cases of asthma, bronchitis, and
wheezing among young children (Gergen, 1).
According to the Pierce report, African Americans are more likely
than other racial groups to smoke in the home. Recent studies indicate that approximately only 75.3% of
African American children live in smoke free homes as compared to over 90%
for Hispanics and Asians.
The
African American Tobacco Education Network of California under the
direction of Brenda Bell Caffee evaluated this disturbing information and
created a campaign to address the need to educate underserved communities
regarding ETS. Because census data
indicates that many African American households are female headed, we
decided to direct our message to mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters. The first NIMK activity was held on
Mothers Day, 1999. We created a
collaborative effort with the churches, schools, CBO’s, and the community
itself to garner signed commitments from women to not allow smoking in
their house or car. We received
over 3,000 pledges. Survey data
revealed that of respondents, 96% stated that they would continue to
maintain a smoke free home and car beyond the campaign.
Since this
first activity, the highly acclaimed NIMK has been utilized across the
nation as a tool of inspiration to motivate families to a point of
contemplation through their cultural and spiritual connections. NIMK has been used as an empowerment
tool to educate diverse and at risk communities through planned outreach
activities. These activities encourage families to make a commitment to
provide clean environments, promote healthier lifestyles and declare their
homes and cars to be smoke free.
The dichotomy leading to the longevity of NIMK is the fact that this
highly successful project has not only been embraced as a motivational
household phenomenon, but has become a capacity building instrument that
coalesces grass root organizations and established health coalitions in
order to conduct skillful and rewarding events. The program has reached over
200,000 homes with its educational message and has garnered over 75,000
pledges from households committed to remove unnecessary airborne
contaminants that increase children’s susceptibility to respiratory
diseases.
Because
NIMK activities can be tailored around other important public health or
disparity issues such as obesity, inactivity, childhood education, and
youth risk behaviors. CCA can
assist you in developing and conducting public education tailored to the
families you serve. For more

MESSAGE FROM
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
|
|
Sarena Seifer
|
Angela Glover Blackwell was the ideal keynote
speaker to close CCPH’s 9th conference earlier this month. As CEO of PolicyLink, Angela works at the intersection of
community building, policy change and social justice. In line with the conference theme of
“Walking the Talk: Achieving the Promise of Authentic Partnerships,” she
challenged us all to step up our commitment to ensuring that “all people
can participate, prosper and thrive through social and economic
equity.” She emphasized the
important contribution that place makes to equal opportunity. “Where you live,” she said, “has always
been a proxy for opportunity. It determines whether you will have resources
like quality affordable housing, strong public schools, convenient and
comprehensive transportation options, living-wage jobs, and even access to
supermarkets offering fresh, healthy foods or parks and public spaces for
recreation and physical activity.”
|
|
Angela
offered examples of successful community building efforts that PolicyLink
has been involved in, including the story of a low-income neighborhood in
southeast San Diego that did not have local access to healthy food and
spent more than $60 million a year shopping outside their own neighborhood,
which did not a supermarket.
Working with the Jacobs Family Foundation and residents of the
neighborhood, community priorities were identified. What emerged was a community vision for
creating a town center for a supermarket and other commercial
entities. Local residents were
involved in every aspect of decision making, from design and layout to
leasing. Seven years and $65
million later, the now fully leased Market Creek Plaza has become more than
a center of activity in the neighborhood and has catalyzed further local
development. For example, musical
and other performances take place in a 500-seat amphitheater. Where The
World Meets, a gift shop, serves as a forum where local artists and craftsmen
sell their wares on consignment. Living up to the project’s promise of
community and economic development, 69 percent of Market Creek’s
construction contracts went to local minority-owned enterprises, and 90
percent of Food 4 Less employees were hired from the surrounding community.
In all, 1,700 new jobs have been created in an area where nearly 40 percent
of residents live below the poverty line and unemployment is at about 13
percent, more than double the overall jobless rate in San Diego.
|

Angela Glover Blackwell
CCPH 9th Conference Keynote Speaker
|
Angela
emphasized the need to cultivate and support community leaders to “become
agents of change on behalf of their communities.” She highlighted the importance of “boundary spanning” leaders
who could work effectively across diverse cultures in communities,
organizations and institutions. She
encouraged participants to learn more by reading a recent report from the
Asian Pacific American Legal Center.
She
closed the conference with a hopeful note that communities across the
country – indeed the world – are advancing social and economic equity. She applauded CCPH members for bringing
together the wisdom and experience of communities with that in academe to
advance a social justice agenda in which “all may participate, prosper and
thrive.”

Please be sure to mark your
calendars now for next year’s CCPH conference, April 11-14, 2007 in Toronto
Ontario Canada. The call for proposals will be
out this summer and posted on our homepage at www.ccph.info.
Next
year’s conference is notable for a number of reasons:
*It
will celebrate Community-Campus Partnerships for Health's 10th
anniversary, allowing us to reflect on the history and evolution of the
organization and to engage stakeholders in determining our future
directions.
*It
will be our first conference held in Canada, presenting unprecedented
opportunities to learn from Canadian experiences with community-campus
partnerships and the social determinants of health, and to explore
synergies across North America and beyond.
*It is
taking place in one of the most diverse cities in the world, presenting
unparalleled opportunities to explore critical issues of race, ethnicity,
socioeconomic status and culture.
*It
represents an important product of our partnership with the Wellesley
Institute, the Toronto-based organization that advances the social
determinants of health through rigorous community-based research,
reciprocal capacity building, and the informing of public policy (if you
haven’t yet subscribed to our jointly sponsored Community-Based
Participatory Research listserv, do so today at

Conversando Con Su
Médico
A Free Publication Helps Older Hispanics
Improve Doctor/Patient Communication
How
well patients and doctors talk to each other is one of the most important
parts of getting good health care. As we get older, it becomes even more
important to talk often and comfortably with the doctor. Unfortunately,
talking to the doctor isn't always easy. It takes time and effort. A new
publication from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) can help older
adults learn to communicate more effectively with their doctors. To order a
free copy of "Conversando con su médico", please call the NIA
Information Center toll free at 1-800-222-2225 Monday through Friday from
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Information specialists are available to respond to
inquiries in both English and Spanish. You also may order this and other
Spanish-language materials on the NIA Web site at www.nia.nih.gov.

Trust Counts Now
Trust Counts Now, a report released May 2 at the
American Hospital Association Annual Membership Meeting, includes seven
recommendations to help hospitals bolster the public’s trust in them. These
include:
§
Adopt a public health model to complement the finance and business
model
§
Partner with competing hospitals and local public and private leaders
to tackle social problems that threaten the community’s health; and
§
Share publicly accessible and usable information on quality,
performance and patient safety
The
study author is John King, a former CEO of Legacy Health System in
Portland, Oregon and former AHA Board Chair. Download the report from: http://www.caringforcommunities.org/caringforcommunities/content/trustcounts.pdf
