Public policy that seeks to achieve sustainable improvements in the social determinants of health, such as income, education, housing, food security and neighborhood conditions, can create positive, sustainable health impacts. This paper describes preliminary results of Acción Para la Salud, a public health intervention in which Community Health Workers (CHWs) from five health agencies engage their community in the process of making positive systems and environmental changes. Acción CHWs were trained in community advocacy and received ongoing technical assistance in developing strategic advocacy plans. Acción CHWs documented community advocacy activities through encounter forms in which they identified problems, formulated solutions, and described systems and policy change efforts. Strategy maps described the steps of the advocacy plans. Findings demonstrate that CHWs worked to initiate discussions about underlying social determinants and environmental-related factors that impact health, and identified solutions that improve neighborhood conditions, create community opportunities, and increase access to services.
