Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

262
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.6K
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.0K
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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
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...

Obesity01:24

Obesity

1.1K
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

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...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Community-Based Participatory Research
  • Childhood Obesity Prevention

Background:

  • Community engagement enhances health intervention feasibility, suitability, and outcomes.
  • Infant obesity is a significant public health concern requiring effective prevention strategies.
  • Marginalized communities often face unique challenges in accessing and benefiting from health programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the community-engaged development and delivery of an infant obesity prevention program.
  • To present feasibility and acceptability data for the developed program.
  • To provide a model for community-engaged health behavior change programs for families.

Main Methods:

  • The Healthy Eating for My Infant (HEMI) program was developed through a multiphase, community-stakeholder-driven process.
  • HEMI incorporated nutrition education, behavior-change techniques, and mental health support via home visits and text messaging.
  • A feasibility trial randomized 15 mother-infant dyads from marginalized backgrounds to receive HEMI.

Main Results:

  • The HEMI program demonstrated high feasibility with excellent retention (86.7%) and session completion (84.0%).
  • Families reported high program acceptability, finding it helpful and feeling heard and supported.
  • Program staff perceived HEMI as beneficial for participating families.

Conclusions:

  • The Healthy Eating for My Infant program exemplifies a successful community-engaged approach for infant obesity prevention.
  • This model is suitable for developing future health behavior change interventions for children and families in marginalized communities.
  • Community engagement is crucial for creating effective and acceptable health programs for diverse populations.
