Development Workshop
Where: Baltimore, MD
Institute: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
(NHLBI)
A new NHLBI report, Mobilizing African American Communities
to Address Disparities in Cardiovascular Health: The Baltimore
City Health Partnership Strategy Development Workshop, summarizes
strategies that have been used in Baltimore, Maryland, to
implement community heart health education and outreach
activities for black Americans living in public housing
developments.
Recommendations summarized in the report were developed
at a workshop cosponsored by the NHLBI and the Baltimore
City Cardiovascular Health Partnership partner institutions
of Morgan State University Public Health Program, the Baltimore
Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City, and
the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. The
workshop was held to develop recommendations and strategies
for implementing culturally and contextually appropriate
community heart health education and outreach activities
for Baltimore City African Americans, particularly residents
of public housing developments.
