Design and Implementation of A Health Equity Educational And Social Networking We

描述(由申请人提供)：全国县市卫生官员协会(NACCHO)教育和社交网络健康公平网站机会编号：RFA-OD-09-004令人信服的证据表明健康和健康不平等的社会决定因素的重要性继续得到记录。然而，接受行动培训的学生相对较少，卫生从业者更少。以健康公平为目标的《2010年健康人》没有包括关于如何实现这一目标的目标。迫切需要将这种关于健康不平等的潜在决定因素的知识付诸实践。拟议的项目目标是设计和实施一个大型、全面的多媒体健康公平网站，具有将知识与行动联系起来的两个基本综合功能。第一个特点是以学习者为中心的互动课程，教育当前和未来的公共卫生工作人员了解卫生不平等以及从根本上解决社会、政治和经济不平等的方法。第二个与第一个相关联，是为研究人员和实践者提供一个持续学习的社区，以分享经验和知识。通过一种基于大众教育和参与的方法，该项目将利用与用户生成的内容相关的“下一代互联网”(称为Web 2.0)工具的力量，通过社交网络技术在学生、从业者和研究人员之间建立轻松且廉价的协作能力。利用这项技术，研究小组将开发一个框架和方法，以确定和衡量当地社会和政治进程的影响，这些进程反复在健康的社会决定因素中产生负面结果。它将与网站上的同事和研究人员分享这一知识。我们的愿景是一支公共卫生工作人员队伍，他们a)掌握“社会、经济和政治制度如何构建健康或不健康生活的可能性，以及社会如何为疾病的生产和传播创造先决条件”，以及b)转变公共卫生结构和做法，以对这些系统采取行动，消除疾病分配中的不公平。全国县市卫生官员协会(NACCHO)一个促进教育和社会网络机会的卫生公平网站：RFA-OD-09-004该项目至少在三个方面与公共卫生有关：首先，公共卫生从业人员通常与研究卫生不平等根深蒂固的根源的同事或研究人员分开运作，他们将能够建立一个学习社区，所有参与者都能在其中贡献和分享他们的想法、知识和经验，并定期进行对话。第二，卫生从业者将更好地准备制定与社会变革有关的有效战略--对在健康的社会决定因素中产生负面结果的力量采取行动--而不是无休止地补救健康不平等的后果。第三，卫生从业者将能够通过制定更有效的政策和做法来实现公共卫生中的保障职能。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) A Health Equity Website for Education and Social Networking Opportunity Number: RFA -OD-09-004 Convincing evidence of the importance of the social determinants of health and health inequity continues to be documented. Relatively few students and even fewer health practitioners, however, receive training in taking action. Healthy People 2010, with health equity as a goal, does not include objectives on how to achieve it. A pressing need exists to put this knowledge about the underlying determinants of health inequity into practice. The proposed project goal is to design and implement a large-scale, comprehensive, multi-media Health Equity Website, with two basic integrated functions that connect knowledge to action. The first features a learner-centered, interactive curriculum to educate the current and future public health workforce about health inequity and ways to address the social, political and economic inequalities at its roots. The second, linked to the first, is to serve as an ongoing learning community for researchers and practitioners to share experience and knowledge. With a method based on popular education and engagement, the project will harness the power of "next generation Internet" (termed Web 2.0) tools associated with user-generated content, to build capacity for easy and inexpensive collaboration among students, practitioners, and researchers through social networking technology. With this technology, the study team will develop a framework and methods to identify and measure the influence of social and political processes locally that repeatedly generate negative outcomes in the social determinants of health. It will share that knowledge with colleagues and researchers on the site. Our vision is a public health workforce that a) grasps how "social, economic and political systems structure the possibility for healthy or unhealthy lives and how societies create the preconditions for the production and transmission of disease", and b) transforms public health structure and practice to act on those systems to eliminate inequity in the distribution of disease.. National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) A Health Equity Website for Education and Social Networking Opportunity Number: RFA -OD-09-004 This project is relevant to public health in at least three ways: First, public health practitioners often functioning in isolation from colleagues or researchers on the deeply rooted sources of health inequity, will be able to establish a learning community where all participants contribute and share their ideas, knowledge, and experience as well as engage in regular dialogue. Second, health practitioners will be better prepared to develop effective strategies related to social change-acting on the forces that generate negative outcomes in the social determinants of health-instead of endlessly remediating the consequences of health inequities. Third, health practitioners will be capable of realizing the Assurance function in public health by developing more effective policies and practices.
