| Social factors that influence the health of communities have received growing attention in recent years. While there is a growing body of theory and epidemiologic evidence describing these factors, a current challenge is applying this knowledge to public health practice. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is one approach to bridging this gap between research and practice. CBPR involves community members, researchers and public health practitioners in partnerships to address issues of concern to communities. Communities often prioritize taking action to address social determinants of health. CBPR offers an important approach for designing and evaluating community-based interventions which address the social determinants of health. The CDC established the Urban Research Centers (URC) program in 1995 to support community-based health promotion efforts and recently expanded the program to include Centers in Detroit, New York and Seattle. The URCs use CBPR methods to address social determinants of health in urban, marginalized communities. The URCs have established community-researcher-practitioner partnerships, developed principles for CBPR, and implemented and evaluated urban health promotion and disease prevention projects using participatory evaluation methods, including ones related to asthma, violence prevention, HIV, immunization, and community building. They have specified models which describe how social determinants affect health and are testing and refining the models through their programmatic activities. This session will describe how each URC has developed interventions to address social determinants of health and how they have used CBPR to guide and evaluate their activities. CDC activities addressing social determinants of health and using CBPR will also be described | ||||
