La priorización comunitaria en el programa Barcelona Salut als Barris

Abstract

Prioritizing corresponds to the process of selecting and managing health needs identified after diagnosing the community's health needs and assets. Recently, the health needs assessment has been reinforced with the community perspective, providing multiple benefits: it sensitizes and empowers the community about their health, encourages mutual support among its members and promotes their importance by making them responsible for the process of improving their own reality. The objective of this paper is to describe the prioritization of Barcelona Salut als Barris, a community health strategy led by the Barcelona Public Health Agency to promote equity in health in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods of the city.

Promoting Health in a Rural Community in the Basque Country by Leveraging Health Assets Identified through a Community Health Diagnosis

Once there was consensual agreement on the final draft, results were presented at the Town Hall, followed by public debate that led to specific commitments by political and sanitation authorities.…”

“…Looking at other countries, examples can be found in Latin America [18,19] and in Europe, including those associated with the Healthy Cities project that took place in Europe at the end of the 1980s/beginning of the 1990s [20]. These studies were focused mainly on identifying priorities for intervention that stemmed out of these diagnoses but had no follow-up or evidence regarding their actual implementation in the medium or long term [21,22]. Furthermore, in none of these instances was the gender perspective incorporated into the process.…”

“…Otro tanto ocurre con la dinámica inicialmente prevista con las ADR. Dado el peso explícito que las diferentes instituciones tienen en cada comarca, se considera recomendable aplicar una metodología que más que contrastar y confrontar busque el mayor consenso posible (Sánchez-Ledesma et al, 2018). Se resumen a continuación los pasos efectuados en esta segunda fase con las ADR:…”
