An Integrative Framework for Community Partnering to Translate Theory into Effective Health Promotion Strategy

Abstract

We suggest critical next steps toward closing the gap between health promotion research and practice: investing in networks that promote, support, and sustain ongoing dialogue and sharing of experience; finding common ground in an approach to community partnering; and gaining consensus on the proposed integrating framework.

Studying and Addressing Urban Immigrant Restaurant Worker Health and Safety in San Francisco’s Chinatown District: A CBPR Case Study

“…24 Community partnering is considered a critical component of a comprehensive, integrated framework for health promotion, 49 as approaches like CBPR focus on broader contexts and systems approaches for health promotion while emphasizing the effectiveness of interventions in real-world settings. [49][50][51] Although not without challenges, studies like the Chinatown Restaurant Worker Health and Safety Study in San Francisco hold promise for urban health research and research translation with the growing urban immigrant populations in the USA and globally.…”

Challenges and Facilitating Factors in Sustaining Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships: Lessons Learned from the Detroit, New York City and Seattle Urban Research Centers

“…14,[16][17][18][19]21,22,[25][26][27][28][29] In contrast, issues related to the long-term sustainability of partnerships and activities have received limited attention. [30][31][32] The purpose of this article is to examine the experiences and lessons learned from three Urban Research Centers (URCs) in Detroit, New York City, and Seattle, which were initially established in 1995 with core support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The experience of these Centers after core funding ceased in 2003 provides a case study to identify the challenges and facilitating factors for sustaining partnerships and their activities.…”

Prévention et promotion de la santé : quels modèles pour soutenir l’évolution des pratiques en soins de santé primaires ?

“…La plupart des modèles parlent des patients, mais très peu ont été construits avec eux [25,26]. Une approche ontologique simple, s'intéressant à ce qui conditionne leur positionnement dans la dyade médecin-patient, et leurs relations à l'environnement immédiat, est toutefois présente dans quelques modèles [14,15,18].…”

“…Certains modèles systémiques de type socio-écologique illustrent le concept de promotion de la santé [18,23,25,26]. Ces modèles en intègrent à des degrés divers certaines caractéristiques distinctives : approche des groupes ou des populations, prise en compte des milieux de vie ou des déterminants sociaux de la santé [18,23,25,26].…”

“…La compréhension de ces derniers par les soignants ou les soignés est permise par une grille de lecture du fonctionnement de la société ou de certains de ses composants [18,23,26].…”
