The Integration of Community Voice in the Implementation of a Mobile Health Program
Summary
Community engagement informed the development of a mobile health clinic (MHC). This approach identified health care barriers and needs, leading to tailored programming for underserved populations.
Area of Science:
- Community-based participatory research
- Public health
- Health equity
Background:
- Health care access is crucial for health equity.
- Underserved communities face significant barriers to healthcare access.
- Community engagement is key to developing effective health programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To utilize a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach.
- To engage underserved communities in developing a mobile health clinic (MHC) program.
- To identify lessons learned from community dialogues.
Main Methods:
- A CBPR approach guided five community conversations (N=51) from 2018-2019.
- Participants shared experiences regarding health facilitators, barriers, and priority needs.
- Input informed the development and programming of the MHC.
Main Results:
- Key barriers to healthcare access were identified.
- Significant community strengths were recognized.
- Recommendations led to specific MHC services like free care, mammogram referrals, mental health screening, eye exams, and nutrition counseling.
Conclusions:
- Collaboration between academic institutions and communities is essential.
