“…There are many studies in the education and human resources literature to support the train-the-trainer model. These studies have concluded that this model both a cost-effective and efficient method for providing sustained training that empowers the new trainers (Jackson 2012; Marks et al 2013; Suhrheinrich 2011). While there were no direct studies found that matched this project, there were some studies that are relevant to the goals.…”

A successful partnership model between an academic health sciences library and a K-12 school district to provide librarians, nurses, and special education staff with access to health information to support special needs children and their parents is presented. Train-the-trainer staff sessions and a parent session were collaboratively developed. Funding support was used to purchase iPads for librarians and nurses to deliver mobile support. The results indicate the resources taught are being used to find health information and the school librarians and nurses are being sought after to assist in finding health information. Positive feedback from the school district indicates this model could be replicated in similar settings.

“…Health and wellness interventions have been shown to increase self-efficacy for exercise; lower depression; improve cardiovascular health, muscular strength and endurance; improve weight status; improve GI health; improve nutritional quality and adequacy of available food; result in an overall improvement in knowledge and health-related behavior for at least some of the participants; and decrease maladaptive and increase adaptive behavior (Abdullah et al, 2004; Heller, McCubbin, Drum, & Peterson, 2011; Holburn et al, 2008; Humphries Pepper. Traci, Olson & Seekins, et al, 2009; Mann et al, 2006; McDermott et al, 2012; Marks et al, 2013). As in most programs that target lifestyle change, outcomes for people with IDD are modest and evaluations have rarely measured change longer than one year following program completion.…”

“…Interventions aimed at improving health-promoting behaviors of persons with IDD are one strategy to address obesity and cardiovascular health (Marks, Sisirak, & Chang, 2013; McDermott et al, 2012). Interventions have taken a number of approaches to addressing health behavior such as utilizing individuals with IDD as co-trainers in wellness programs (Marks, Sisirak, Medlen, & Magallanes, 2012), providing nutritional supports to people with IDD and their staff (Humphries, Traci, Pepper, & Seekins, 2009; Humphries Pepper, Traci, Olson, & Seekins, 2009), and teaching knowledge and skills that lead to improved health self-advocacy and health behavior (Abdullah et al, 2004; Holburn, Cea, & Gordon, 2008).…”

Historically, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have experienced health disparities related to several factors including: a lack of access to high quality medical care, inadequate preparation of health care providers to meet their needs, the social determinants of health (e.g., poverty, race and gender), and the failure to include people with IDD in public health efforts and other prevention activities. Over the past decade, a greater effort has been made to both identify and begin to address myriad health disparities experienced by people with IDD through a variety of activities including programs that address health lifestyles and greater attention to the training of health care providers. Gaps in the literature include the lack of intervention trials, replications of successful approaches, and data that allow for better comparisons between people with IDD and without IDD living in the same communities. Implications for future research needed to reduce health disparities for people with IDD include: better monitoring and treatment for chronic conditions common in the general population that are also experienced by people with IDD, an enhanced understanding of how to promote health among those in the IDD population who are aging, addressing the health needs of people with IDD who are not part of the disability service system, developing a better understanding of how to include people with IDD in health and wellness programs, and improving methods for addressing the healthcare needs of members of this group in an efficient and cost-effective manner, either through better access to general medical care or specialized programs.

“…While nurses have always held important roles in community and public health care, the literature has overlooked community nurses in the United States when it comes to caring for people with I/DD (Nehring, 2003). The scant research related to this topic focuses on the role of nurses in specific health promotion initiatives for people with I/DD (Cooper et al, 2006; Marks, Sisirak, & Chang, 2013), prevention services offered by advanced practice nurses (Hahn & Aronow, 2005), and guideline development for the implementation of community-based health promotion for individuals with I/DD (Drum et al, 2009). However, we still lack knowledge about the daily work of community nurses aiming to promote the healthy aging of individuals with I/DD living in the community.…”

This qualitative case study sought to examine an innovative community outreach nursing program designed to promote healthy aging for more than 250 individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities living in the community. We analyzed 10 in-depth interviews, one focus group, and various documents using thematic analysis. We researched why the program emerged and found the reasons to be improving the communication with primary care providers, providing person-centered health care, and building on and contributing to existing community-based programs. Findings on what the daily work of community outreach nurses included person-centered health education, advocacy for the safe return home of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, support for staff to understand that health issues can lead to behavior changes of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, and enabling their social participation. This case study may inspire further research or help others develop similar programs.

Efficacy of the HealthMatters Program Train‐the‐Trainer Model

Abstract: Results support the efficacy of a HealthMatters Program in CBOs to improve health among adults with intellectual disabilities. A need exists for CBOs to include health promotion in their mission and vision statement and job descriptions.
