Healthy
People Consortium Meeting and Public Hearing Educational and Community-Based Programs |
| Participants discussed many aspects of the Educational and
Community-Based Programs draft chapter. Major points that were stressed included the need
to show the cross-cutting nature of this chapter if the HP 2010 diagram is revised; the
urgent need to develop data systems for the developmental objectives or gaps will persist;
and the need for a revised goal statement that reflects the concepts of accountability,
access, cultural competence, and planning and coordination within the community across all
settings. The group recommended adding definitions such as CBO's and for each of the four
settings along with modifications to terms such as community and health education.
Participants made several suggestions for additions and clarifications regarding the
objectives with two themes that should be reflected in all objectives: the concept of
"cultural and linguistic appropriateness" and the concept of "eliminating
health disparities".
