Using Community Involvement Strategies in the Fight against Infant Mortality: Lessons from a Multisite Study of the National Healthy Start Experience

“…The findings of our study are consistent with those of a growing body of literature suggesting that community participation in neighborhood organizations, consortia and coalitions, and community-based health interventions can have substantial benefits for those involved (Eng, Briscoe, & Cunningham, 1990;Fawcett et al, 1995;Israel, 1985;Kreuter, Lezin, & Young, 2000;Wandersman & Florin, 2000;Zimmerman, 2000). Such involvement also may be seen as laying important groundwork for intermediate benefits and outcomes including behavioral changes, improved self-esteem, enhanced local infrastructure, and new and modified programs, practices, and policies (Fawcett et al, 1995;Zimmerman, 2000).…”

Assessing Community Change at Multiple Levels: The Genesis of an Evaluation Framework for the California Healthy Cities Project

“…35,37,66 In a study of water projects in Indonesia and Togo, Eng and colleagues showed that villages in which the projects had high levels of participation were more likely to have successful immunization programs. 39 Participation has also been studied in community health promotion and community psychology as an intermediate outcome. 37,67,68 Much of this research focuses on participation of members in an organizational entity, such as a coalition or block group.…”

Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Address Health Disparities

“…Only a few published studies explicitly have tested and validated the hypothesis that community participation provides additional health benefits at the community level, using quasi-experimental designs. In Eng, Briscoe, and Cunningham's (1990) landmark study in Indonesia and Togo, villages where water was installed with active participation found that 25% to 30% more children were immunized, than in the conditions of no participation. The challenges of studying participation using comparison designs are significant within community settings, where local context matters, dynamic processes are assumed, and participatory feedback is used to change the intervention (Goodman, 2001;McQueen, 2001).…”
