A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Community Health
  • Health Equity
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • The Dunean community in Greenville, South Carolina, exhibits significant health inequities, including limited healthcare access, high poverty rates, and increased disease mortality.
  • These disparities are evident at county, state, and national levels, indicating a critical need for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address health inequities in the Dunean community by fostering community engagement and improving access to health and wellness resources.
  • To establish a sustainable model for community-academic partnerships to promote healthier lifestyles and address social determinants of health.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of a community engagement task force comprising students, residents, and faculty from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville (UofSC SOMG).
  • Development and implementation of 'Root Cause,' a monthly health event featuring community dinners and diverse health and wellness resources.
  • Collaboration with 36 community agencies and academic health center partners to deliver services and facilitate interactions.

Main Results:

  • Five 'Root Cause' events successfully engaged 207 Dunean neighborhood members.
  • Facilitated 1,237 total interactions between community members and partner agencies, providing access to vital resources.
  • Demonstrated increased community cohesiveness and improved perceptions of healthcare access within the Dunean neighborhood.

Conclusions:

  • The 'Root Cause' model successfully initiated a bidirectional dialogue, addressing community-identified needs and promoting health transformation.
  • Participating medical students enhanced their understanding of social and economic challenges, contributing to their development as active citizens with increased empathy.
  • The initiative fostered a trusted partnership, leading to positive changes in community health and well-being.
