We have scheduled 4 community forums (3 neighborhood based, 1 larger forum) to introduce the problem, ask for feedback regarding resources and challenges around contributing factors in their communities, and to request participation and input. In addition to providing case management at an individual level, this community will be using the data to intervene at the community level as well.Susan Wolfehttp://www.susanwolfeandassociates.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679528101997612959.post-7685506279336028182012-01-19T17:29:22.438-08:002012-01-19T17:29:22.438-08:00Thanks Susan, this was a great read. As you probab...Thanks Susan, this was a great read. As you probably remember, my one area of research that I am interested in Maternal and Child Health. One of the things that disappoints me most when reading through the literature, is the tendency to just state the problem...over.. and over..again. I feel that since we already do know what some of these problems actually are(inadequate prenatal care,marginalization,etc.), let's then explain (within the research, etc) what we can do, what we will do with the data. I think your post speaks to this issue. It is so important to use our research to mobilize people and institutions within communities. This is something that I believe strongly in and I'm glad you posted!!Kyrah Kenyaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497045254807536585noreply@blogger.com
