Upstream Public Health, concerned that children?s future success is wavering because children are not in school, released a report on how chronic absenteeism is related to health. Oregon?s students have some of the highest chronic absenteeism rates in the country. Chronic absenteeism is when a child misses 10% of school days for any reason - just two days a month on average - during the school year. The topic emerged recently as a new education priority critical to attaining Oregon?s graduation goals. > > > > The report looks ?upstream? at factors in communities, at home, and at schools that lead to chronic absenteeism. The report reviews data and research on student absences ? finding that unexpected factors such as unstable housing, fear of bullying, and punitive school discipline policies, as well as health conditions such as hunger, dental pain, respiratory illness, and depression contribute to absenteeism. The report puts forward policy recommendations that begin with schools using a common definition of chronic absenteeism. It also recommends that chronic absence data be used as one factor in allocating and coordinating social service delivery to schools. ?We need that village - when educators work with social services and health professionals they can get the resources that our most vulnerable kids need to be healthy and engaged in school,? suggests Dr. Tia Henderson, Research Manager at Upstream Public Health and lead author of the report. Hedy Chang, the Director of Attendance Works agrees with a collaborative approach. ?Improving attendance is not just up to schools. Across the country, we see the most gains occurring when educators and community partners join forces to examine absence data in real time in order to leverage shared resources to take action.? > > > > This report goes beyond the problem to identifying solutions. It gives case study examples of communities working to address chronic absenteeism locally and beyond Oregon. ?Chronic absence is a corrosive and debilitating problem in Oregon, one that threatens our most vulnerable population of children and demands immediate action," states Katia Riddle, Senior Communications and Policy Associate at the Children?s Institute. "The Children's Institute applauds Upstream Public Health for issuing this important report and in so doing raising awareness around chronic absence and helping the state of Oregon to understand it thoroughly.? > > > > About Upstream Public Health > > Upstream Public Health (Upstream) was founded in 2003 to improve health and reduce health disparities in Oregon by implementing innovative solutions to prevent the root causes of premature death and disease. Upstream advances policy and program solutions designed to change the factors that contribute to poor health - the places where we live, work, and play. In other words, our focus is on preventing sickness, rather than treating it. Upstream is currently working to create healthy school environments and to promote early childhood preventive services. We believe that all kids should have the opportunity to eat healthy school lunches and that everyone should have access to dental services to prevent and treat painful cavities. We also work to improve active transportation options and decrease tobacco use among teens. > > ----------------- > > > > Please let me know if you have any questions, > > Tia Henderson > > Tia Henderson, PhD Research Manager at Upstream Public Health > tia at upstreampublichealth.org |office 503-284-6390 | > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The findings reveal that a new model of chronic disease management for vulnerable populations with diabetes shows significant promise in strengthening coordination of care, reducing diabetes health disparities and improving health outcomes. > > Funded by Merck Foundation, the Alliance aims to help decrease diabetes disparities and enhance the quality of health care by improving prevention and management services. An independent cross-site evaluation of the five-site community-based care initiative involving African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans showed statistically significant decreases in blood glucose measures, increased quality of life, and decreased health care use and cost for patients with diabetes in the Alliance program. > > "A key element of the Alliance model is that it allows the sites freedom to address underlying gaps and weaknesses in its current health care system - a sharp contrast to traditional medical models," says co-guest editor of the supplement Dr. Leonard Jack, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. > > Diabetes affects nearly 26 million people in the United States, with racial/ethnic populations disproportionately affected. Over the next 25 years, the prevalence of diabetes is expected to double and will require large scale evidence-based approaches to help control the anticipated increases in service needs and costs. > > Members of the health care team in each Alliance community helped identify and implement the changes that supported outcomes such as enhanced patient self-management of diabetes, education of health providers in cultural awareness, and delivery of health care services. Three types of changes were identified as especially important for diabetes control: data sharing across care providing organizations; linking clinic services with community assets and resources in support of individual patient self-management; and integrating community health workers (CHWs) into the clinical care team. > > HPP supplement co-guest editor Tawara Goode, Director, National Center for Cultural Competence and Associate Director, Georgetown University Center for Child & Human Development notes, "Alliance communities recognized early on that policy and systems changes were more likely to be successful and sustainable when driven by their 'on the ground experience' of the patients and communities served. CHWs helped provide that bridge and support the patient voice." A few examples of policy and systems changes adopted by the five Alliance sites that helped produce patient and population-health outcomes are: > The Camden team spear-headed an effort that led the Governor to enact legislation that created Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) in the state and provide funding for a three-year ACO demonstration project. > The Chicago team negotiated a Food Prescription Program agreement with Walgreens and a local farmer's market. > The Dallas team established new job codes for CHWs within a health system, formally embedding the CHW role in the clinical care team and securing a Medicaid waiver to fund eight CHWs. > The HPP supplement further describes each of the sites' accomplishments and lessons learned in advocating for policy and systems changes. All articles in the HPP supplemental issue are provided through open access at http://hpp.sagepub.com. Information on related podcasts and webinars are available at www.sophe.org. > > > About the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE): SOPHE is a non-profit professional organization founded in 1950 to provide global leadership to the profession of health education and health promotion and to promote the health of society. SOPHE's 4,000 international and chapter members work in various public and private organizations to advance health education theory and research, develop disease prevention and health promotion programs, and promote public policies conducive to health. Health Promotion Practice (HPP) is one of three peer-reviewed journals published by SOPHE that is devoted to the practical application of health promotion and education. > > About the Alliance to Reduce Disparities in Diabetes (Alliance): Supported by the Merck Foundation, the Alliance aims to help decrease diabetes disparities and enhance the quality of health care by improving prevention and management services. The University of Michigan's Center for Managing Chronic Disease serves as the National Program Office for the Alliance. > > About Merck Foundation: The Merck Foundation, a U.S.-based, private charitable foundation, is funded entirely by Merck and is the company's chief source of funding support to qualified nonprofit charitable organizations.

Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change (1991, 2002, 2012) - MI offers a practical, common sense approach for supporting clients in making and sustaining health behavior changes. Originally developed in the drug and alcohol field, over 200 clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of MI across a range of populations, target behaviors, and medical conditions. At its core, MI is not a unique or entirely new approach, but a combination of principles, skills and strategies drawn from existing models of counseling and behavior change theory. Embracing an interpersonal style based on empathy, collaboration, and acceptance, the MI practitioner relies heavily on the use of strategic reflective listening as a means of eliciting clients? strengths, inner wisdom, reasons for change, and ways of achieving it. This training is for those who want to enhance their skills in behavior change counseling, and will include a review of the "5 A's" model for treating tobacco use and dependence. ------------------------------ [image: Cvent - Web-based Software Solutions] -- Alissa Leavitt, MPH, MCHES Program Director Lactation Education and Consultant Program Portland Community College (PCC) lactation at pcc.edu www.pcc.edu/programs/lactation Faculty- Health Studies Portland Community College (PCC) Rock Creek Campus 17705 Northwest Springville Road Portland, OR 97229 971-722-7767 alissa.leavitt at pcc.edu -- Alissa Leavitt, MPH, MCHES Health Education & Program Section Volunteer Oregon Public Health Association 971-722-7767 aleavitt.opha at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thank you, Brett [cid:image002.png at 01D00316.FD2C7F20] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 18, 2014 For more information, contact: Staci DeLeon-Davis Phone: (503)734-3132 StaciD at familycareinc.org FamilyCare to Grant Funds to Youth-Focused Area Health Programs PORTLAND, Ore., (November 18, 2014) - FamilyCare Inc., the first Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties, believes every child and young adult deserves the opportunity to be healthy. To help improve the well-being of our communities, FamilyCare is announcing a grant program to partner with organizations serving the area?s youth populations. This grant program is a reflection of FamilyCare?s commitment to meet the goals laid out in the 2014 FamilyCare Community Advisory Council?s Community Health Improvement Plan, which identified transition age youth-those between 15 and 25 years old-as a population that struggles to connect to the healthcare system. The Community Advisory Council has recommended that advances are needed to improve the health of this vulnerable population. Suggestions include approaching and collaborating with communities, stronger prevention strategies, improving health literacy, and making care coordination accessible. The hope is that the learnings and interventions from this Community Health Improvement Plan and anticipated grant projects will improve the health and well-being of the whole community. On October 31, 2014, the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council of the National Academies released a related report, Investing in the Health and Well-Being of Young Adults. The report states, ?Young adulthood is a critical period for protecting health, not just during the transitional years but over the life course. Despite some positives, however, the dominant pattern among young adults today is declining health.? Further, the report calls for action: ?What is needed now is a coordinated effort by the public and private sectors to raise public awareness of the need to improve policies and programs that address the needs of young adults.?[1] The report affirms FamilyCare?s Community Advisory Council Community Health Needs Assessment and its call to action through the Community Health Improvement Plan. ?The Council and the FamilyCare Board of Directors believes a Community Health Improvement Plan focused on the health and wellness of the transition age youth will fulfill the triple aim of improving the patient experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of healthcare,? says Brett Hamilton, FamilyCare Health Policy and Program Manager. To meet this need, FamilyCare will accept proposals for youth and young adult initiatives from new and established tri-county organizations until December 10, 2014. Existing and new programs will be considered. FamilyCare plans to invest in innovative to serving young people in the Portland area?s many diverse communities and create long-lasting connections with our community partners. If you or your organization works with 15- to 25-year-olds to improve health and well-being, we invite you to submit a proposal for consideration. Please see INVITATION/REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL ANNOUNCEMENT to read our official Request for Proposals. Award amounts will be determined based on the proposed size and cost of a project. Award recipients will be notified by December 31, 2014. If you have any questions regarding this funding opportunity please contact, BrettH at familycareinc.org, Health Policy and Program Manager. ### [1] IOM (Institute of Medicine) and NRC (National Research Council). 2014.

Hello Alissa & Sara, I am unsure of how the ?Health Education Promotion? email list works, but I was hoping that our crowd-funding cause might be worthy of an email blast! I work for a non-profit, grant-funded group called the Healthy Youth Program out of Oregon State University?s Linus Pauling Institute. Two years ago, our team created a very helpful DVD for classroom teachers called ?Brain Breaks: Classroom fitness for children,? that very recently received national media attention (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/140923142741.htm). Since then, we have started creating a second version of the DVD, Brain breaks 2, and we are seeking crowdfunding as a means to pay for the production costs. This project appears to align with your group?s mission, which is why I am reaching out to you for your help! Would you please consider sharing our crowdfunding website with anyone you believe might be interested in helping.
