Attaining health for all through community partnerships: principles of the census-based, impact-oriented (CBIO) approach to primary health care developed in Bolivia, South America

Social capital, trust in the health-care system and self-rated health: The role of access to health care in a population-based study

“…Trust provides a context, in which patients and providers can work effectively to establish and achieve care objectives (Perry, et al, 1999;Mechanic & Meyer, 2000). Several studies have found that system trust could help the development of interpersonal trust, but it is not known how interpersonal (generalized/horizontal) trust affects institutional trust (Hall, Camacho, Dugan, & Balkrishnan, 2002;Gilson, 2003).…”

Accelerating progress in achieving the millennium development goal for children through community-based approaches

“…When partnerships established between the community and the health system are built on mutual respect and collaboration, including bi-directional information and communication flow, programmes and communities together can achieve rapid and substantial declines in under-five mortality rates which can be sustained (Arole and Arole 1994, Perry et al 1999, 2007, Bang et al 2005a, Edward et al 2007. Through this process, it should be possible to engage community members, especially women, as active participants and to achieve provision of basic services for all mothers and children, including those at greatest risk of mortality.…”

From the Ground Up: Assessing Consumer Preferences for Multifunctional Agriculture

“…This longitudinal effort to link community input with outcomes would be similar to the successful Census-Based Impact-Oriented (CBIO) Approach used in developing countries to monitor and direct public health expenditures (Perry, Robison, Chavez, Taja, Hillari, Shanklin, & Wyon, 1999). Regular inventories would allow us to monitor over time the benefits of MFA as well as the effectiveness of farmland policies designed to protect these benefits.…”
