The coalition was composed of 14 Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) organizations that provide culturally integrative youth services. Objectives: REC, with support from United Way of King County, engaged in participatory research to identify commonalities and shared struggles to inform collective action. Participatory research aligns with REC's commitment to equitable participatory processes. This article focuses on REC's experiences with funders. The objective was to understand what creates positive and challenging experiences with funders, and to identify recommendations for funders to become more culturally responsive. Methods: A research committee was formed including representatives of nine REC organizations and United Way of King County staff. The committee conducted interviews with each of the 14 REC organizations and conducted thematic analysis of interview transcripts. Through participatory analysis, the committee drafted narratives that were further refined through a series of research retreats attended by all REC organizations. Results: Recommendations were to incentivize collaboration, listen to communities to create culturally responsive definitions of success and measurement strategies, arrive at mutually agreed upon approaches with organizations, honor the connections BIPOC organizations have with their communities, and provide unrestricted funding to allow BIPOC organizations greater agency. Conclusions: A major challenge for BIPOC organizations is navigating White dominant culture that too often shows up in funding requirements. Having to fit dominant culture standards stifles BIPOC organizations' abilities to meet community needs and the responsiveness of their approaches. REC identified recommendations for funders to be more culturally responsive and community centered.","PeriodicalId":46970,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Community Health Partnerships-Research Education and Action","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135588259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: We leveraged a community–academic partnership to describe a participatory approach to integrating community and academic sources of evidence to inform cancer programming priorities in the Arab American (ArA) community in Southwest Chicago. Methods: Informed by Intervention Mapping, this study comprised three phases led by community and academic partners: 1) qualitative assessment of cancer-related priorities through eight focus groups with 48 ArA community members, 2) a focused literature review to identify models of cancer interventions implemented with ArAs, and 3) integration of focus group and literature review findings and development of a strategy for a community-based cancer program administered by the community partner. Results: Focus groups revealed attitudes and beliefs across the cancer control continuum. The literature review highlighted two cancer interventions utilizing education, community health workers, and patient navigation components. Through facilitated discussions with community partners, we integrated community and academic sources of evidence to develop a comprehensive cancer program plan that is informed by the data we generated as well as our community partners' preferences and organizational capacity.

Youth are particularly at-risk due to long-term impacts of toxic stress and adverse childhood experiences on health and development. Objectives: Here we present a novel clinician–community-educator–scientist partnership to address Puerto Rican youth mental well-being and wellness. We deployed pilot health workshops within the Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico to build youth mental health conceptual understanding and competencies in stress recognition and management. The work in progress herein evaluates acceptability and feasibility of our curricular model. Methods: Dialogue with community stakeholders guided curricular design of workshops for youth ages 6 to 13 and older. Prior to implementation, educators and volunteers attended a 1-day training on educational strategies. Workshop success was evaluated using qualitative approaches (i.e., narrative feedback, educator and volunteer reflections, youth Talking Drawings) to assess youth engagement, youth conceptual health understanding, and educator/volunteer impressions of feasibility and impact. Results: Initial findings indicate high acceptability and feasibility of our curricular model. Youth engagement and enthusiasm were noted in educator feedback and continue to be sustained post-workshop. Preliminary analysis shows accompanying increases in youth conceptual mental health understanding, particularly for 6- to 12-year-olds in recognition of stress and healthy coping mechanisms. Reciprocal gains were observed for volunteers. Conclusions: Activities have evolved into a formal partnership called Semilla , which features expanded analysis of mental well-being and wellness outcomes. Our collaborative model continues to engage Puerto Rican youth in the science of their well-being.","PeriodicalId":46970,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Community Health Partnerships-Research Education and Action","volume":"30 18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135588416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite representing a large population in the United States and particularly in California, Arab Americans are not typically assessed in tobacco-related health studies. Disparately high smoking rates have been found in community samples of Arab Americans. In a formative participatory research study, we aimed to assess experiences with tobacco products and access to cessation and prevention services for Arab Americans who use commercial tobacco products. Methods: In partnership with a community advisory board, we conducted a brief survey of adult Northern California Arab Americans who use tobacco products, both men and women ( n = 101), followed by assets mapping to identify services, and focus groups with a subset of survey participants ( n = 30), to assess tobacco product use, readiness to quit, and access to culturally appropriate cessation services. Results: The majority of people who smoked did so daily. Waterpipe use was as common as cigarette smoking, and more so for women. Intent to quit was offset by highly normative tobacco use in the social environment, and limited access to culturally appropriate cessation services. Conclusions: Improvement in outreach and services specific to Arab Americans may support prevention and cessation of commercial tobacco products.","PeriodicalId":46970,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Community Health Partnerships-Research Education and Action","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135588426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What Is the Problem? • Many people living in the Mayan community of Chankom have a musculoskeletal disease that limits their function and participation in community life. Therefore, there is a need to develop a rehabilitation program that decreases the disabling effects of these conditions, considering their specific sociocultural needs. What Are the Findings? • The community-based participatory research strategy was formed by four main processes: 1) forming and maintaining an alliance between academia and community representatives, 2) clarifying community needs, 3) integrating local and global knowledge, and 4) conducting shared-decision making efforts, all of which include the basic principles of community-based participatory research. • We co-designed a community-based rehabilitation program formed by six main components: 1) coordination of services, 2) provision of personal support, 3) provision of blood sampling services, 4) provision of specialized rheumatology and rehabilitation services, 5) implementation of health promotion strategies, and 6) provision of transportation, which mainly address the Health Component of the World Health Organization–community-based rehabilitation program matrix. Who Should Care Most? • This study is relevant for anyone trying to design a community-based rehabilitation program in Indigenous and other underserved communities with full engagement and participation of community members. Recommendations for Action • Community-based rehabilitation programs aimed at improving functioning of people living with disabilities in Indigenous contexts should be co-designed with the community, following a community-based participatory research strategy. [End Page e7] • Community members who contribute with working hours to the participatory effort should be adequately financially compensated for their time. • The future implementation of the six components of the co-design community-based rehabilitation program will likely improve the quality of services provided to this Mayan community and hence the function and quality of life of people living with chronic musculoskeletal diseases in this Indigenous community.

Unfortunately, programs specifically designed for people with disabilities (PWD) and staff training to promote inclusion for PWD in general population programs is limited. The current study aimed to review an on-going partnership that had formed to address this need. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess community partners' experiences with a community–academic partnership designed to implement a fitness program for people with multiple sclerosis and also to promote inclusion for PWD in community-based fitness programming. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six community partners who had been engaged in a formal partnership with the academic institution for 2 or more years to understand partners' experiences and perspectives about the partnership. Interviews were audio/video recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. Results: Participants described their experiences as falling into four main areas. Pre-partnership experiences (or lack thereof) shaped participants views on entering into academic partnerships. Communication and planning for mutual benefit were key to getting the partnership started. Partners identified challenges and factors for success while they were in the thick of partnership activities. Finally, evaluation allowed for assessment and improvement of the partnership itself and its ultimate goals. Conclusions: Findings suggest that academic–community partnerships can be ideal for promoting inclusion for PWD and highlight insights that can be used in the development of future partnerships.","PeriodicalId":46970,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Community Health Partnerships-Research Education and Action","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135588263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What Is the Problem? • Persistent educational racial disparities exist. • Racial Equity Coalition organizations require community-centered funding processes to support and sustain their culturally integrative youth services and system change work aimed at eliminating educational disparities. What Are the Findings? Recommendations for funders to enhance responsive funding practices • Incentivize collaboration instead of fostering competition. • Recognize persistent inequities and their impact on BIPOC communities. • Arrive at mutually agreed upon approaches with grantees versus having a \"one-size-fits-all approach.\" • Resist tendencies requiring BIPOC organizations to prove capacity more than White, mainstream organizations. • Eliminate linguistic and cultural barriers undermining organizations' abilities to secure grants. • Provide unrestricted, multi-year funding to allow BIPOC organizations greater agency to determine how to prioritize and allocate funding. • Support smaller BIPOC organizations to help them grow resources. [End Page e13] • Funders work with communities to co-determine how to revise grant-making processes. • Funders actively listen and be responsive to communities. • Funders recognize how BIPOC organizations are uniquely positioned to serve BIPOC communities due to their deep connections with the communities they serve. • Funders uproot dominant practices that do not foster racial equity. • Funders learn more about the power of BIPOC coalitions to address persistent educational disparities. • Funders hire more BIPOC individuals from affected communities into leadership positions.
