Group 1: Community Health Intervention discussion: Nickel (2020) and Bunnel et al (2012) readings by Andrew Springer https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/siggjzu6z2zre559 en-us 2020-12-24 17:57:40 UTC 2025-12-11 06:23:13 UTC hello@padlet.com Explore the following questions. Use "sticky notes + function" to 'think, share & discuss'. Appoint a presenter to share back key points with larger group. andrewespringer https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/siggjzu6z2zre559/wish/1041449780 1)Health Topics & Community Outcomes: Based on the Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative (Bunnel et al, 2012) and Nickel & von dem Knesebeck (2020) review, what have been topic areas of past community health interventions (obesity? substance use?). What have been some of the main outcomes studied? 

2)Approaches: Describe examples of policy, systems & environmental approaches applied.  Any innovative approaches to highlight?

3)Positive yet limited effects: According to Nickel & von dem Knesebeck (2020) review: “Despite the high number of studies that found positive effects, the impact of the interventions seemed to be rather limited. This holds especially true for large-scale community programs.” What were the reasons given for limited effects? Other reasons? How can we enhance community health intervention practice & research?

for some PSE interventions has not been established, and although impact modeling will be conducted as part of the CPPW evaluation plan, much of the longer-term impact will not be evident at the population level for many years. Therefore, we are unable to fully assess the population impact of the interventions. 

Nickel- high drop out rate due to non-interest
More selective in initiatives. ]]> 2021-01-19 21:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/siggjzu6z2zre559/wish/1103426131 https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/siggjzu6z2zre559/wish/1103450415 Broaden the search systems other than Pubmed and PsycINFO.

 For the future, it is recommended to plan, implement and evaluate interventions in
the long term and in a participative manner with various sociodemographic groups and stakeholders of the neighborhood. 
These interventions should aim at proximal
 outcomes (e.g. risk behavior, sense of community) rather than distal outcomes (e.g. health status, life satisfaction) as well as the initial time investment in community capacity
building.

Instead of focusing on the reach to measure the rate of exposure, there should be more focused community tailored indicators that accurately represent the influence or impact of the intervention.]]> 2021-01-19 21:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/siggjzu6z2zre559/wish/1103450415
