Since 2016, Changing Health through Advocacy & eMPloyment In Our NeighborhoodS (CHAMPIONS) has utilized in-person programming to engage high school students from underserved Chicago communities in health advocacy education and exposure to health professional careers.
Describe outcomes after CHAMPIONS' shift from in-person to remote programming during the corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
The Summer 2020 remote program consisted of four main activities: 1) didactic public health curriculum, 2) phone calls to COVID-19 patients, 3) COVID-19 community health projects, and 4) health professional speaker series. Program evaluation consisted of pre-/post-program surveys and focus groups.
Participants were very satisfied with CHAMPIONS and reported increased healthy habits, self-efficacy, and knowledge. "First-hand experiences" increased equivalently or more for the remote compared to in-person cohorts.
The remote CHAMPIONS program maximized positive effects for participants. Strengths and lessons learned may be used in future enrichment programs to improve accessibility and exposure for underserved students.
自 2016 年以来,通过倡导和就业在我们的邻里社区来改变健康(CHAMPIONS)一直利用面对面的项目,让来自芝加哥服务不足社区的高中生参与健康倡导教育,并接触健康专业职业。
描述 CHAMPIONS 在冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)大流行期间从面对面转为远程项目后的结果。
2020 年夏季的远程项目包括四项主要活动:1)理论性公共卫生课程,2)致电 COVID-19 患者,3)COVID-19 社区卫生项目,和 4)健康专业人士演讲系列。项目评估包括前后方案调查和焦点小组。
参与者对 CHAMPIONS 非常满意,并报告说健康习惯、自我效能和知识有所增加。与面对面组相比,远程组的“第一手经验”增加了同等或更多。
远程 CHAMPIONS 项目最大限度地提高了参与者的积极影响。优势和经验教训可用于未来的充实计划,以提高服务不足学生的可及性和曝光率。
