“…Engaging public housing residents in the identification of community health needs is a fundamental step toward the implementation of culturally tailored community-based interventions (Bowen et al, 2013). Several studies have successfully used community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches to identify health needs within underserved Latino communities (Bopp et al, 2012;Corona, Gonzalez, Cohen, Edwards, & Edmonds, 2009;Dulin, Tapp, Smith, De Hernandez, & Furuseth, 2011;Valenzuela, McDowell, Cencula, Hoyt, & Mitchell, 2013). Using collaborative partnerships and shared decision-making between partners to develop research questions of importance to all stakeholders allows researchers to move beyond basic or applied research approaches in order to design a tailored research strategy that is culturally competent and accordant with the specific life experiences, cultural traditions, and languages of the participants in the study (Baker, White, & Lichtveld, 2001;McQuiston, Parrado, Martínez, & Uribe, 2005).…”

Studies examining the health of public housing residents are limited. In response, community-based participatory research principles were used to develop an intervention aimed at improving health outcomes related to multifactorial risk behaviors among Latino families living in a low-income neighborhood. A two-part needs assessment was completed to guide the intervention: interviews with parents ( n = 10) and a group model building (GMB) workshop with youth and parents ( n = 40) to explore the parent-youth dynamic. Interviews indicated that poverty, youth disobedience, and inadequate communication between parents and youth led to parental stress. During the workshop, balancing and reinforcing feedback loops involving Communication, Trust, and Respect between youth and parents were identified. Based on these findings and collaboration with a community advisory board, a bilingual, mindfulness-based meditation intervention was designed to address community needs: positive parent-child interaction emphasizing trust and communication, stress reduction, and family well-being.

“…Some of these studies were two-phase explanatory mixed-methods studies, with the quantitative phase preceding the qualitative phase ( n = 14, 12%). They conducted targeted focus groups or community listening sessions or interview with community members/key informants following needs assessment survey to supplement the findings from the survey and provide further information about health status, needs of daily living, barrier to health and access to community resources [ 8 , 21 , 41 , 53 , 55 , 66 , 67 , 93 – 95 , 99 , 113 , 114 , 121 ]. In addition to these studies, some studies used triangulation mixed-method design to obtain complementary qualitative and quantitative data on community health needs and issues ( n = 13, 11%).…”

“…However, guided by a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, a number of studies involved community members and stakeholders in priority identification or ranking [ 12 , 21 – 23 , 27 , 29 , 31 , 36 , 41 , 43 , 49 , 53 , 55 , 56 , 58 – 60 , 62 , 63 , 68 , 70 , 74 , 86 – 88 , 90 , 92 , 99 , 100 , 103 , 104 , 110 , 114 , 117 – 119 , 121 – 129 ], in potential strategy selection [ 13 , 19 , 67 , 82 , 89 , 130 ], and in carrying out strategies [ 8 , 37 , 69 , 81 , 93 , 105 , 113 ]. They asserted that by involving the perspectives of the relevant stakeholders, a comprehensive overview of the issues and possible effective solutions was created.…”

Background Community health needs and assets assessment is a means of identifying and describing community health needs and resources, serving as a mechanism to gain the necessary information to make informed choices about community health. The current review of the literature was performed in order to shed more light on concepts, rationale, tools and uses of community health needs and assets assessment. Methods We conducted a scoping review of the literature published in English using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PDQ evidence, NIH database, Cochrane library, CDC library, Trip, and Global Health Library databases until March 2021. Results A total of 169 articles including both empirical papers and theoretical and conceptual work were ultimately retained for analysis. Relevant concepts were examined guided by a conceptual framework. The empirical papers were dominantly conducted in the United States. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches were used to collect data on community health needs and assets, with an increasing trend of using mixed-method approaches. Almost half of the included empirical studies used participatory approaches to incorporate community inputs into the process. Conclusion Our findings highlight the need for having holistic approaches to assess community’s health needs focusing on physical, mental and social wellbeing, along with considering the broader systems factors and structural challenges to individual and population health. Furthermore, the findings emphasize assessing community health assets as an integral component of the process, beginning foremost with community capabilities and knowledge. There has been a trend toward using mixed-methods approaches to conduct the assessment in recent years that led to the inclusion of the voices of all community members, particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. A notable gap in the existing literature is the lack of long-term or longitudinal–assessment of the community health needs assessment impacts.

“…One of the barriers encountered when trying to understand and improve health disparities in rural areas is the lack of sufficient data. For example, the data that states provide to national data sets such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System often undersample rural areas (Bopp et al, 2012). In contrast, some large data sets are able to identify disparities in specific disease outcomes (e.g., Keegan et al, 2015).…”

Contributors to Health Inequities in Rural Latinas of Childbearing Age: An Integrative Review Using an Ecological Framework

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This integrative review uses an ecological framework to examine research describing multilevel contributors to health inequities among Latina childbearing women in rural U.S. communities. Rurality exacerbates existing structural issues and makes the accumulation of both social capital and cultural competence in accessing and utilizing the health care system difficult. Four electronic databases were searched—Ovid/Medline, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CINAHL—over the period of 2006 to 2018. Twenty-nine full-text articles met inclusion criteria. Findings were that a convoluted immigration policy, health care delivery and payment systems, geographic and economic barriers, discrimination, gender roles, and reproductive coercion all contribute to decreased utilization of health care, which in turn contributes to health inequities. More attention is required to situate Latina health inequities in rural communities within the context of other health-relevant aspects of discrimination and reproductive coercion, and to understand the contribution that the health care system itself has on these health inequities. Use of the ecological framework for this integrative review integrates well with inclusive vulnerable population research approaches such as community-based participatory research, because of its multilevel focus.
