Health Promotion Programs

Foundations and government agencies have historically played a critical role in supporting community-based health promotion programs. Increased access to health promotion funding may help address significant health issues existing within American Indian (AI) communities, such as childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Understanding the capacity of AI communities to successfully apply for and receive funding may serve to increase resources for health promotion efforts within AI communities in Montana. This exploratory qualitative study completed 17 semistructured interviews across three AI reservations in the state of Montana. Dimensions of community capacity within the context of the funding application process and partnership with funding agencies were identified, including resources, leadership, community need, networks, and relationship with the funding agency. Dimensions of AI community capacity were then used to suggest capacity-building strategies for improved partnership between AI communities in Montana and the funding agencies.

RÉSUMÉLes Services de soutien pour les aînés projet communautaire sud-asiatique (SSAPCSA) ont été développé en réponse à la sous-utilisation des loisirs disponibles et des installations pour les aînés par des aînés sud-asiatiques qui étaient particulièrement nombreux dans une banlieue en Colombie-Britannique. Abordant ce problème a nécessité la collaboration de la municipalité et un organisme enregistré à but non-lucratif offrant un large éventail de services et de programmes aux communautés immigrantes et réfugiées. Grâce à la sensibilisation créative et l’hébergement, le projet a engagé plus de 100 personnes âgées qui parlent panjabi chaque année à diverses activités impliquant l’exercice. Les méthodes de recherche ont porté sur l’étude de cas avec le personnel et les participants actuels et anciens cadres de SSAPCSA comprennent l’observation participante, entretiens individuels, et des groupes de discussion. Les conclusions, vues à travers le prisme d'interprétation critique de la “cadre de la candidature,” révèlent les multiples façons dans lesquelles l’accès à la promotion de la santé et l’activité physique pour les immigrants plus âgés est un processus complexe et itératif de négociation à plusieurs niveaux.

Personnel Directors

Personnel directors of Texas state agencies were surveyed one month prior to and one year following the passage of the 1983 Texas State Employee Health Fitness and Education Act. This legislation allowed the agencies to use available funds and facilities for health promotion programs. Most of the personnel directors were aware of the Act and of the potential benefits of health promotion programs. There was general interest in learning more about health promotion, available community resources, and about the time and energy commitments in developing a program. Most believed they would implement programs in the future. In the year following the passage of the Act, 16 percent of the agencies, covering 30,852 employees, had received approval to begin programs. Size was positively related to plan development and approval. The results are discussed using diffusion theory.
