Good morning,

I am working to organize a statewide community peer-to-peer mental health advocacy and education organization here in New Mexico. There is interest and passion in the success of our group. We are thinking about using an association/collaborative of local chapters model. Can you please offer web resources that we can review to see how such a model is working for others?

Hi
I work for a community based housing provider in Australia. I want to ask our tenants when they enter housing and during their time with us questions about how the provision of safe and secure tenure housing enables the following: Quality of life; Ability to access services; Stability to enable education and look at work possibilities
Community connections; Reduced stress and positive impact on health. I was perhaps thinking of using a self efficacy approach that the provision of housing increases the tenants ability/confidence/security. Ideally want to ask about 5/6 questions we can track over time and by different tenant types age/location/etc. Do you know of any self-efficacy questions that cover these items or are similar so we can adapt? Thank you so much

Dear Advisor,

I am a PhD Candidate and instructor at the University of Toronto (Canada). I am designing an undergraduate course on Community Service Learning and Health Policy for the Fall Semester. One of the key areas that need to be included in community service delivery and program evaluation. I am wondering if I could use some of your resources for lectures and in-class activities, and whether or not you could suggest a list of references that I could provide for students.

Thanking you in advance for your time and support,

J. Cristian Rangel

Hello. I would like some help or resources to help me develop a survey that
will tell me the effectiveness of a presentation; the audience are
adolescents.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I am a former activist who put up a technical-vocational training center near
my house that caters to those who cannot afford to go to school. It's goal
is to help out-of-school youth, the unemployed, housewives of poor families
develop attitudes, skills and knowledge that will help them gain employment
or put up small scale enterprises or cooperatives that will give them a daily
source of income and help alleviate their poverty.

My problem is I funded it with my personal money. But that is now almost
depleted and my students have still not been able to successfully establish
the small scale business we hoped would change their lives. Hence, we are in
danger of closing the project.

Could you teach me or help me network so that I could source some funding for
this project. I can no longer sustain it on my own.

I look forward to your response. Thanks!

Jeff,
Hello, This is Tracey Carr. I have been really sick over the past four or five days: They almost put me in the hospital. I talked my doctors out of it. I am sorry that I missed your call and did not email you back. One, I was so sick that I forgot too. and two, I was so sick that when I missed your call, I also did not see that I did until Sunday night. I called you yesterday several times. I tried to email you an attached email but they won't go through (Paul, in the community toolbox office told me that just now).

I really appreciate all that you have done. Would you still be so kind as to look at my document? I do not think that I did it correctly. I cannot attach it here nor can I send it without you sending me an email. Would you please let me know something? I value your judgement and trust what you say.

I do appreciate all that you have done!

Highest regards,
Tracey K. Carr


Thank you, You really helped me!!! I appreciate you!

I am wondering if anyone knows any good resources for presenting population health data? This includes examples of well put together reports (for example, the RWJF County Health Rankings, or the NYC Community Health Profiles). Thank you!

Hello,
I am totally confused, as I have read so much. I cannot figure out what precisely to put in the following:
1) Itemized Description of proposed my program.
2) Itemized Description of proposed pilot study (what is this?)
3) Itemized Description of proposed evaluation of the pilot study including a tool (Six Sigma, TQM) to improve the proposed piloted process
4) Itemized Description of what other health care organizations and/or NGOs have done to address my initiative.

I am following the Promoting Healthy Living and Preventing Chronic Disease An Action Planning Guide for Communities
A publication of the KU Work Group for Community Health and Development The University of Kansas
http://communityhealth.ku.edu/

Can you please provide examples where I can see precisely what to put in these documents. I have gathered all the data there is. I have my goal, vision, mission statement, strategies, and action plans, which are all evidence-based, that concern:
1. physical activity,
2. healthy eating,
3. tobacco use, and
4. access to care and preventive services.

I know my 5 strategies are:
1. providing information and enhancing skills
2. modifying access, barriers, and opportunities
3. enhancing services and support
4. changing the consequences (incentives)
5. modifying policies and broader conditions

My framework for Promoting Healthy Living is the IOM (2003):
1. Assessment & Collaborative Planning
2. Targeted Action & Intervention
3. Community & System Change
4. Widespread Behavior Change
5. Improvement in Population level Outcomes

I have planned for new or modified programs, policies, and practices in the strategies. I do not know what section (e.g., description of proposed program, pilot study, evaluation of pilot study) I need to put this in.

However, I have not been able to meet with anybody in town - I have only had 8 days to look this up. I do know from talking to people on the phone that my county in Arkansas has very little active coalitions due to budget cuts and losing funding.

I am not getting a grant or implementing social marketing. My teacher knows that I have not met with anyone - I cannot give details of meetings.

My initiative deals with Pope County's community sectors of the: business community, health organizations, school district, and broader community.

My teacher does not want us to give her a detailed logic model.
Plus this can only be 5-7 pages long. APA 6th edition, doubled spaced, with citations. The reference page can be page 8+. I am totally vexed.

Can you please help. I have done all the work. I cannot find examples anywhere on line except for CHNAs that have not-for-profit hospitals doing community needs assessments. Yes, I am bringing the hospital in as a potential collaborator, but I am to act as if there is no coalitions, or action taking place. Plus, no one in the community seems to want to help with the severe problem of CVD, cancer, diabetes, tobacco use, etc....I know what are my modified risks. I know what are my key drivers. I know what are my vulnerable populations.

I just do not know what to place in what sections.
Can you please help?
Thank you ,
Tracey K. Carr

How do I go about getting approval from an charity organization. Please let me know who I would contact, to use the name to be used to ask for donations through my business. A portion of the sale I would like donated. I'm sure there are legal steps to do this.

Hi! I am interested in the history of resource "toolkits" in general; can you point me in the direction of where this concept derived from? Thanks!!
