BACKGROUND
In response to feedback from a health forum, resident leaders of public housing in Washington, DC, were inspired to create a health survey for and by the residents.
OBJECTIVE
The survey was designed to document residents' concerns about health, health care, and environmental threats. It also explored tobacco use and support for smoke-free housing.
METHODS
A newly created Health Planning Committee of the Citywide Advisory Board, including residents, academics, and representatives of health and housing organizations, facilitated the creation of a health needs assessment. Questionnaires were initially mailed, then hand-delivered to every public housing household. More than 1,000 completed questionnaires have now been returned.
LESSONS LEARNED
This project highlights a model that places resident leaders in charge of health issues, including leading advocacy efforts for policies to reduce health disparities in public housing. It identifies research challenges and ways to overcome them and empowers the community for continued research.
背景
应一个健康论坛的反馈，华盛顿特区公共住房的居民领袖受启发为居民创建了一项健康调查。
目的
该调查旨在记录居民对健康、医疗保健和环境威胁的担忧。它还探讨了烟草使用情况以及对无烟住房的支持。
方法
全市咨询委员会新成立的健康规划委员会，包括居民、学者以及健康和住房组织的代表，推动了健康需求评估的创建。问卷最初通过邮寄发放，然后挨家挨户送到每个公共住房家庭。现已收回1000多份已填写的问卷。
经验教训
该项目突出了一种模式，即让居民领袖负责健康问题，包括领导倡导政策以减少公共住房中的健康差距。它识别了研究挑战及克服这些挑战的方法，并赋予社区持续开展研究的能力。
