As a behavior change technique, social marketing has proven effective in motivating people to make the complex and difficult behavior changes that can improve health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. The Issue Dialogue used the lens of tobacco prevention and cessation, physical activity, and healthy eating to examine how health grantmakers can use social marketing principles and techniques to encourage and support the adoption of healthier behaviors across the lifespan. This Issue Brief incorporates the information and ideas shared at the meeting with a background paper on social marketing that was prepared for participants who attended the Issue Dialogue. It starts with an introduction of social marketing concepts and provides a framework for assessing whether social marketing is an appropriate approach to use in addressing a particular issue. Subsequent sections: (1) describe both the social marketing communications process and techniques, using examples from campaigns developed by health grantmakers and others; (2) describe how social marketing can be used to promote policy change; (3) provide information on communication strategies that can complement social marketing; and (4) present opportunities for grantmakers.","PeriodicalId":86968,"journal":{"name":"Issue brief (Grantmakers in Health)","volume":" 20","pages":"1-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24819295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"In the right words: addressing language and culture in providing health care.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"As part of its continuing mission to serve trustees, executives, and staff of health foundations and corporate giving programs, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) convened a group of experts from philanthropy, research, health care practice, and policy on April 4, 2003, to discuss the roles of language and culture in providing effective health care. During this Issue Dialogue, In the Right Words: Addressing Language and Culture in Providing Health Care, health grantmakers and experts from policy and practice participated in an open exchange of ideas and perspectives on language access and heard from fellow grantmakers who are funding innovative programs in this area. Together they explored ways to effectively support comprehensive language services, including the use of interpreters and translation of written materials. This Issue Brief synthesizes key points from the day's discussion with a background paper previously prepared for Issue Dialogue participants. It focuses on the challenges and opportunities involved with ensuring language access for the growing number of people who require it. Sections include: recent immigration trends and demographic changes; the effect of language barriers on health outcomes and health care processes; laws and policies regarding the provision of language services to patients, including an overview of public financing mechanisms; strategies for improving language access, including enhancing access in delivery settings, promoting advocacy and policy change, improving interpreter training, and advancing research; and roles for foundations in supporting improved language access, including examples of current activities. The Issue Dialogue focused mainly on activities and programs that ensure linguistic access to health care for all patients. Although language and culture are clearly inseparable, a full exploration of the field of cultural competence and initiatives that promote its application to the health care setting are beyond the scope of this Issue Brief. The day's discussion did, however, raise provocative issues of culture that are reflected throughout this report.","PeriodicalId":86968,"journal":{"name":"Issue brief (Grantmakers in Health)","volume":" 18","pages":"1-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24019863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Strengthening the public health system for a healthier future.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"On November 6, 2002, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) convened a group of experts from the fields of philanthropy, research, government, and policy to examine the nation's public health infrastructure and explore opportunities for grantmakers to strengthen and sustain this fragile and troubled system. During the course of this meeting, representatives from the Institute of Medicine, which recently released a report on this topic, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discussed the role of the national public health system and reviewed weaknesses in its infrastructure. Elaborating on these points, local public health leaders offered an on-the-ground perspective of the challenges they face as they struggle to maintain and improve the health of the public at the same time as they prepare for the possibility of bioterrorism. Finally, several foundations with experience in this area shared their strategies for helping to buttress the infrastructure so vital to the health of the nation. This Issue Brief builds on a paper prepared in advance of the meeting by incorporating the highlights from presentations and discussions that took place at GIH's Issue Dialogue. It also incorporates comments and discussion from GIH's 2002 Fall Forum intensive breakout session Worst Case Public Health Scenario: Can Philanthropy Respond? Following a brief introduction to the public health system and its evolution over the past several decades, the Issue Brief discusses essential elements of the public health infrastructure, reviews the issues confronting each of these elements, and profiles various philanthropic initiatives aimed at repairing and improving the public health infrastructure. It concludes with an in-depth look at the infrastructure issues involved in emergency preparedness.","PeriodicalId":86968,"journal":{"name":"Issue brief (Grantmakers in Health)","volume":" 17","pages":"1-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24019862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Weighing in on obesity: America's growing health epidemic.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"On October 31, 2001, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) convened an Issue Dialogue in Washington, DC, on the problem of obesity and its implications for personal and public health. The purpose of this meeting was to help the staff and trustees of health foundations and corporate giving programs understand the nature of today's epidemic and explore ways in which they could play a role in identifying and promoting effective solutions. In addition to discussing the scope and implications of overweight and obesity in the United States, presenters and discussants provided insights into the strategies that grantmakers might want to consider to address this serious health problem. This Issue Brief incorporates the information and ideas shared during the meeting into the background paper which was prepared for participants at the Issue Dialogue. It offers detailed data on the prevalence and growth of overweight and obesity in various populations, discusses their impact on health and the costs of care, reviews the major causes, and suggests strategies for both prevention and treatment. In the context of those strategies, this report also profiles a number of efforts by both grantmakers and government agencies to tackle some of the root causes of this important public health issue.","PeriodicalId":86968,"journal":{"name":"Issue brief (Grantmakers in Health)","volume":" 11","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24019961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
