“…It remains unclear then, if participants attended the events as a means to improve poor health, or if attendance was primarily among individuals that were already largely in good health, and were simply attending for personal entertainment. Similar to previous findings, attendees appear to be alreadyactive individuals, interested and motivated to improve health outcomes (22). It is possible that the large-scale, multi-activity iterations of the FHTC events were more appealing to alreadyhealthy, already-active individuals rather than serve to identify at-risk individuals.…”

“…Community-based health promotion events have shown that the use of health screening, counseling services, clinics, and health education are effective tools for promoting health behaviors and awareness (21)(22)(23). Recent studies have shown that health promotion events have been successful at increasing awareness of healthy lifestyle opportunities, identifying health risk factors, and assessing readiness to change (22,24). However, health behaviors and health risk factors may already be known to the public, due to long-term promotion by public health campaigns (22).…”

However, health behaviors and health risk factors may already be known to the public, due to long-term promotion by public health campaigns (22). Although previous research has evaluated health promotion events for reach and effectiveness, there remains limited evidence examining the effects of health promoting events on a general public (21,25).…”

Professional sporting teams may be well-positioned to act as promoters of health behaviors given their fixture within a community, and association with physical activity, nutrition, and other healthy behaviors. Over 4 years, the Calgary Flames Sport and Entertainment Corporation in conjunction with local health promotion professionals, delivered a health promotion event to the public, The Calgary Flames Health Training Camp (FHTC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The purpose of these annual events has been to inspire and encourage healthy behavior uptake and adherence. A description of the FHTC over each of 4 years (2015–2018), lessons learned, and some evaluative work done alongside the event on 2 of the 4 years. In 2017, self-report surveys were administered to event attendees to assess current health status including physical activity, socio-cognitive variables, health information preference, and intention to make healthful behavior change based on event attendance. Biometric data was collected including blood pressure, height, weight, and resting heart rate. Evaluations of the four consecutive events showed that the Calgary Flames Sport and Entertainment Corporation has an ability to attract substantial numbers of the general public to attend FHTC events. Self-report measures from 2017 suggest that already-active populations may be most interested in attending however, the events do appear to inspire attendees to consider behavioral changes for health. The events helped to identify individuals with health risks requiring medical attention but has not yet resulted in known behavior changes. Positive community health impacts may arise from collaboration between health promoters and professional sporting organizations.

“…From screenings for chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes to undiagnosed HIV infections and diabetic retinopathy, the accessibility of community-based pharmacists creates a natural touch point for health screenings for patients who would otherwise not present to a physician’s office. Our results also reveal that pharmacists are also providing screening services beyond the four walls of the pharmacy at after-school programs [ 30 ], college campuses [ 31 ], and health fairs [ 32 ]. As community pharmacy continues to expand services offered, preventive care appears to be an accessible way pharmacists can work to reduce health disparities in their communities.…”

et al. 2023

As pharmacy practice shifts its focus toward population health care needs that serve public health, there is a need to understand community-based pharmacies’ contributions to the reduction in health disparities. A scoping review was conducted to identify what community-based pharmacies in the United States are doing to target racial and ethnic disparities in community-based pharmacies. Forty-two articles revealed that community-based pharmacy services addressed racial and ethnic inequities in a variety of ways, including the types of interventions employed, as well as the ethnicities and conditions of the sample populations. Future work should focus on ensuring interventions are carried out throughout pharmacy practice and accessible to all racial and ethnic minoritized populations.

“…The inclusion of disciplines beyond the health professional workforce to address community health education endeavours may provide new opportunities not realised previously. Isaacs et al (2017) created an interdisciplinary team partnership to deliver health education to primarily African American community members through a university concert series. The interdisciplinary team included members from the following disciplines: health information technology, medicine, nursing, nutrition, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy and public health.…”

Objectives: Cardiovascular health continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA. An interprofessional collaborative team comprising university faculty and undergraduate students developed and presented a community outreach event to provide education and health screening to a diverse group of local residents. Design: An event entitled Rhythms of the Heart was planned and implemented to reach community members. Setting: The event took place on the campus of a private college in Central Florida, USA. Methods: Clinical services, including health screening for blood pressure and body fat, were provided, along with information on the benefits of smoking cessation, physical activity, weight management, healthy diet alternatives and stress reduction. Local community resources and educational materials were supplied to event participants. Results: The event attracted approximately 275 guests. An analysis of feedback from attendees indicated a greater appreciation of music to enhance one’s understanding of cardiovascular health. Students and attendees perceived the Rhythms of the Heart concert as ‘smart and creative’, ‘cleverly conceived’ and ‘well thought out’. Conclusion: This interprofessional outreach event provided a novel means by which to undertake community education and health screening.
