| The Integrated Health Outreach System Project is a 4 year initiative, jointly funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Health Services and Resources Administration, Bureau of Primary Health Care ($5 million). The overall goal is to explore how a community health development approach which incorporates lay health workers (Promotoras) can increase access to care and health status among residents of low income, isolated communities (colonias) in Hidalgo County. The project was initiated in November 2001. There are three purposes for this panel: (1) to familiarize members of the audience with the Integrated Health Outreach System project, (2) to discuss the evaluation design and its different components, (3) to present preliminary data from each of those components, and (4) to discuss collateral projects growing from this initiative. The moderator will facilitate a discussion among the panelists and include the audience through an on-going question and answer process. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to: (1) describe the Integrated Health Outreach System project; (2) describe the evaluation design and its different components, (3) list preliminary data from each of those components, and (4) describe collateral projects growing from this initiative. | |||
