Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Community Psychology
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Social determinants of health and health disparities significantly impact community resilience.
  • Traumatic events can destabilize communities, necessitating targeted interventions.
  • Capacity-building partnerships are a strategy to address complex public health challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an initiative promoting trauma-resilient communities.
  • To assess the effectiveness of capacity-building partnerships in mitigating social determinants of health.
  • To understand how reducing health disparities can enhance community adaptation and recovery.

Main Methods:

  • A convergent sequential mixed-methods design (qual 21019→ 21019QUAN 21019→ 21019qual) was employed.
  • Data were collected from agency leads (N=10), partnership members (N=136), and community members (N=42).
  • Over 30,000 capacity-building activities and 101,370 linkages to services were documented between January 2018 and July 2023.

Main Results:

  • Partnerships conducted extensive community outreach, training, and service linkage activities.
  • Key impacts included building empowered and resilient communities, normalizing help-seeking, and strengthening connections.
  • An average of 82% of partnership members reported medium to large positive changes.

Conclusions:

  • Community capacity-building partnerships are effective in promoting trauma resilience and addressing health disparities.
  • The initiative successfully normalized mental health help-seeking and reduced stigma.
  • Contracting with community-based organizations may be a viable strategy for health systems to advance health equity.
