Healthy People 2020 and Social Determinants of Health

Pritii — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:16:20 CST

Recommendations:

Instead of organizing by topics, organize by social determinant categories using WHO Final Report Framework and vice versa

Include current objectives

Organize current objectives by social determinants??...use 3 chapters (physical activity-nutrition (Priti), tobacco (Russ), access to health care (Sue), educational) and community-based programs (Shawn)) or 3 determinants (place of residence/housing (Christiaan), cohesion (Shawn) )
How can this converted to a policy tool for decision-makers?

2009 APHA Annual Meeting Review Questions

Pritii — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:30:57 CST

Below are some questions to debrief on the Annual Meeting. I will keep this open until January 31, 2010. At the January meeting, we will focus on how the section can focus on few projects for improvement through the 2010 Annual Meeting. For example, based on the November meeting discussion, there is potential for improvement in the (1) Increasing the effectiveness and effienciency of the Policy Process; (2) Member networking at the Section Social; (3) Increasing student involvement throughout the year. Please feel free to share your feedback to any of the questions below.

CHPPD Section Business Meetings (Sun-10am, Sun-2 pm, Mon-7:30 am*, Tues-7:30 am)

1. How was the attendance?

Sunday - 10 am strategic planning meeting - 16, mostly "experienced" members
Sunday - 2 pm new member orientation and student committee - 16 mostly students, new, most expected it to be an APHA - not section orientation
Mon - 7:30 candidates forum organized by ISC - few governing councilors attended (?)
Tues- 7:30 am policy focus - 10, appreciated by at least one person who said he could not attend any of the Sunday meeting; presentation by gestational diabetes group.

2. How were the meetings (content, process)?

Interactive, good
Food only at Tuesday, 7:30 am meeting; Logistically was difficult to get food to other meetings; Ordering food items through the convention center would be expensive and would have been wasted

3. Were the times convenient?

Fine; Questions about 7:30 am meeting. However attendance was good.

4. How was communications regarding business meetings?
Good

CHPPD Section Celebration

5. How was the attendance?
About 95 people attended. About 20 no-shows.

6. How was the celebration (did you get a chance to talk to a few, organized)?
Disappointment that you got to know only people at your table...would have liked to circulate - but not enough time. Would have been nice to have section overview at the start especially other section members were present

7.Was the time/place convenient?
Time was late. Some people like the late timing because they had other committment earlier. Not in program so if you lost information, one was lost. Some members would have liked to walk as a group outside the convention center as they were worried about security. Ella and Shawn said that CBH caucus met at the Health Annex and organized shuttles. It is a group that the section may want to collaborate with for future socials.

8. How was the registration process?
Smooth. However some people did not see their email or response. Some phone contact may be needed if something to this scale is planned for the future.

9. How did the experiment with asking with donations work?
Those registering said that people did not seem to mind the donations. In all, considering the donations total about $589. Thank you letters will be sent to all donors. However registration at the door did take time away from networking during the dinner.

10. Did the IPod generate more donations?
Yes for some, and for some it did not matter.

11. How was communications?
Good. Members enjoyed the dinner. Wished there was more opportunity for networking such as planned networking activity, serve it yourself buffet etc.

CHPPD Booth in Exhibit Hall?

12. How was the volunteer staffing (student-regular teams, follow through)?
For the most part worked well. One 30 minute slot when a student worked by herself...otherwise usually pair

13. How was the display?
Display could have been more colorful. Suggested that display should be coordinated by section student committee and Russ agreed.

14. How did the giveaways work (t-shirts, tote bags, ribbons, brochure, irrev guide)?
Giveaways (brochure, ribbons, tote bags, t-shirts, irrev guide) were fantastic. Guide to APHA by student committee needs to be update, and was not copied, but will be helpful next time. Priti will send Russ the guide to update. Only 200 brochures left over, and will need more copies for 2010. May want to consider the wheel in the front with a photograph.

15. How was the communication among chppd members at the booth?
It would be nice to have a formal place for volunteers to communicate amongst each other at the booth. Seems to have worked. Need to get feedback from the booth volunteers.

Policy
16. How were the policy hearings?
Very interesting. Tammy said that the APHA hearing process should be looked at. While members wrote and revised the policies over the course of the years, the discussions were dominated by issues by folks who did not seem aware of this year long process, and questioned their right to take up so much time. Ella said that feedback on the policy process should be emailed to her so she can share with JPC.

Priti has previously suggested that APHA look at the CSTE policy process and borrow some of their strengths. Sometime changes in policy can be made at an organizational level, and CSTE seems to have a better process for addressing such policy changes. Priti will email Ella her suggestions.

17. How was the governing council proxy process?
???

18. Did governing councilors feel informed, and could vote with some knowledge?
Yes to some extent the Tuesday am meeting helped

19. How was communications about policy?
Please see discussion above

Program
20. How was the program quality/content?
Excellent

21. Did most speakers come through?
Yes for the most part.

22. How did the moderators work out?
Some last minute cancellations, but other stepped in.

23. How was communications?
Good

24. What was the experience at special sessions: Medical Home, HIIT, CHPPD History, Speed Mentoring, Public Health Careers
Medical Home - Roy is going to be writing a policy paper with the group; CHPPD History was excellent; Speed Mentoring needs to be re-evaluated...suggest round-table format...Priti will send note to organizers and cc. student committee chairs; Public Health Careers was excellent

Student Involvement
25. How did the section get students involved?
Students feel that they are engaged during the annual meeting, and not otherwise; suggestion was to think of way to involve them throughout the area

26. How was communications?

Membership Engagement
27. How are CHPPD members engaged?

28. How is chppd member engagement compared to other sections?
Though membership has dropped, it is up in proportion to other members .. Priti will get the details.

29. How is communications among members?

30. How did the issue teams work (HIIT, Health Reform, Built Environment)?
HIIT group presentated on panel organized by HIIT section; Health Reform group organized webinar and assisted with input into proposed policy paper; Built Environment is interested in writing a white paper, and would like to continue. One of the photojournal awardees was given her award because she was aligned with the build enviornment strategy.

Governance

31. How was your workload for the section?
Priti said it was heavy for the chair, but have learned a lot,, and will prepare a road map to suggest how the workload can be shared.

32. What factors enabled you to attend the Annual Meeting?
Two section members said that their organizations paid for their attendance when they heard the members were getting an award. One member wrote the APHA meeting into a grant, and said to attend the meeting, she need to have a grant cover costs.

33. How did the Annual meeting logistic workgroup work out (roles clear, communications)?

34. How are the funding allocation decisions (distribution reasonable,other)?

CHPPD Volunteer Booth Sign-ups

Do You Have 30 Minutes to Help Out With CHPPD Booth n Philadelphia?

Can you help out for 30 minutes at the Community Health Planning and Policy Development Booth? As was done last year, the coordinators will attempt to par each regular member volunteer with a student member of the Section. This matching received rave reviews from students and members alike in the past, as the matching allowed student members to get to know more about the Section and APHA, and make important career contacts.

This year, the Section will be offering 10 student stipends of $60 for students who staff the booth for at least two hours. The stipends will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please note, the student’s social security number will have to be submitted with the check request for the stipend as required by the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) audit rules.

The CHPPD booth will be in the Main Exhibit Hall, and the proposed hours are:

Day Time

Sunday, November 8 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
