We present a model of a community-academic partnership formed to replicate a unique salon-based health education and promotion program among African-American and Latino communities in Philadelphia.
The purpose of this article is to describe the partnership principles established and lessons learned in replicating the salon-based program that sought to develop a cadre of community-academic partners and build community-based organizations' (CBOs) capacity to implement and evaluate the program.
As the lead organization, the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health (AAIUH), formed a partnership with two CBOs, three universities, and 17 salons. Guiding principles were established to manage the large collaborative and ensure success.
By embracing a common mission and principles of understanding, co-learning, building capacity and sharing responsibility and recognition, this partnership was able to achieve positive outcomes. Challenges faced were related to replication, CBO infrastructure, data management capacity, and other process issues.
Despite challenges, we created and sustained an enduring partnership and brought positive change to the community. Lessons learned highlight issues to examine before furthering this work such as fostering trust and building meaningful relationships.
我们展示了一个社区-学术伙伴关系模型,该模型旨在在费城的非裔美国人和拉丁裔社区复制一个独特的基于沙龙的健康教育与促进项目。
本文的目的是描述在复制基于沙龙的项目过程中确立的伙伴关系原则以及汲取的经验教训,该项目旨在培养一批社区-学术伙伴,并增强社区组织(CBO)实施和评估该项目的能力。
作为牵头组织,亚瑟·阿什城市健康研究所(AAIUH)与两个社区组织、三所大学和17家沙龙建立了伙伴关系。确立了指导原则以管理大型合作项目并确保取得成功。
通过秉持共同使命以及理解、共同学习、能力建设、分担责任和认可的原则,该伙伴关系取得了积极成果。面临的挑战涉及项目复制、社区组织基础设施、数据管理能力以及其他流程问题。
尽管面临挑战,但我们创建并维持了持久的伙伴关系,并给社区带来了积极变化。汲取的经验教训突出了在推进这项工作之前需要审视的问题,例如培养信任和建立有意义的关系。
