Appoint a presenter to share back key points with larger group. andrewespringer https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/1952327215 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?

4.) How can we enhance community health intervention practice & research?

Main outcomes studied: Community-based interventions are promising for health promotion and disease prevention, but their full potential is not realized. Interventions should be planned, implemented, and evaluated in the long term with different sociodemographic groups and stakeholders ]]> 2022-01-19 14:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000590637 Approaches https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000591610 Approaches: Creation of policies that support the creation of sidewalks and bike lanes, urban design, and land use policies that encourage physical activity. 
Policies to require daily physical activity in childcare and after school settings]]> 2022-01-19 14:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000591610 https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000592366 Positive yet limited effects: Interventions were not sufficient enough to result in measurable effects. Activities were provided on a modest scale, not all interventions were feasible or acceptable and some reached only small groups. ]]> 2022-01-19 14:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000592366 Readings https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000592948 Investing in community Capacity]]> 2022-01-19 14:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/ycffcxf8pauqks9w/wish/2000592948
