Slide 4: What is Community?
What is community? A community can be
conceptualized as a group of people who are
linked by social ties, share common perspectives
or interests, and/or may or may not share a
geographic location. What are some groups that
could be defined as a community? A community
could be, for example, seniors living in a low-
income housing facility or it could be students and staff in a local school system or a
community could be all the neighbors in a subdivision or a group of people at a worksite.
Slide 5: What is Community Health?
What is community health? Community health is
a clinical discipline that combines health delivery
and public health. Nationally there is a growing
emphasis on using community-engaged service
to develop programs to address the health needs
of communities. Multi-disciplinary, innovative
and collaborative programs can meet
communities’ needs for clinical services, health education, and health promotion and
disease prevention programs. Such programs can develop new ways to serve
populations who face barriers to care within the traditional medical system. Working
with the community can be an exciting and rewarding process. A community setting
offers the opportunity to proactively address patients' health needs but also presents
different challenges than working in a conventional clinical setting. Programs can range
from a one-time medical screening event to an ongoing educational program for
community residents. No matter the size or scope of a community health project, many
of the basic steps are the same. Of equal importance is understanding the approach to
use when working in the community. Health professionals and health learners should be
respectful, consider the program a collaboration and be able to compromise. The process
of developing a community health program requires sensitivity, commitment, flexibility
and diplomacy. Therefore, a second component of community health is to develop
programs that build bridges between medical centers and communities by using
evidence-based medicine, public health methods, and infrastructure and health care
delivery resources. This enables practitioners to see people within their social, cultural
and political contexts and to become more aware of the social determinants of health.

Slide 6: What Are the Advantages of Community
Health for Practitioners?
What are the advantages of community health
for practitioners? First, we can see more than
one patient at a time. Many practitioners find
themselves frustrated with the limits of caring
for one patient at a time, especially since they
have limited time to spend with each patient.
Health problems are intimately linked to the social, cultural and economic conditions in
which patients live. Secondly, community health enables practitioners to have a broader
impact on health and to affect health problems at earlier stages. Third, working with
groups to change health behaviors can be more cost effective than working one on one.
Ultimately, effective and well-developed community health programs can have a
sustained impact on the health of a community.
Slide 7: What is Community Engagements?
What is community engagement? The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention defines
community engagement as “the process of
working collaboratively with and through groups
of people affiliated by geographic proximity,
special interest, or similar situations to address
issues affecting the well-being of those people.”

Slide 8: Population Health and Ethical
Considerations
Many health problems can best be addressed at
the population level. However, there are ethical
concerns when health care providers design
health programs for populations, such as: First,
there is the problem of making assumptions
about the health needs of a group. This raises
ethical issues concerning the rights of self-determination. Although a group may share
characteristics with other communities, practitioners should not make assumptions
about a group’s health concerns or behaviors. Secondly, there is often the oversight of
not meeting with community members to discuss health issues and solicit feedback. To
respect each community's history and culture it is necessary to meet with community
members to discuss health issues. Community members will then have an opportunity
to present their concerns about health issues in their community. This information and
the process of listening to community members should inform the design and
implementation of community health programs. To give you an example, social class can
be a large factor in the determination of health needs. A college educated, middle-
class African American may have different health concerns from those of a lower-
income, less educated African American community. Depending on either individual to
speak for the health needs of all the community's African Americans deprives community
members from communicating their own ideas about their health needs. In a
similar example, the Latino population in the US is not homogeneous. Mexicans may
have different health issues than Nicaraguans. Health needs may be determined by class,
race and occupation both in the country of origin and in the US.

Slide 9: The Legacy of Insensitive Research in
Community Settings
The Legacy of Insensitive Research in Community
Settings: It is often not clear to the community
that they get anything out of being
"experimented on." It is important to remember
this history, especially during the process of
developing a community health programs.
Historically, some communities have felt over-researched – such as more marginalized
communities including people of color, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender communities,
new immigrants and refugees, people with HIV/AIDS, and/or native born people. The
experience of the participants in the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and the subsequent
fall-out when that became public news added greatly to the distrust among many
marginalized community members and the organizations serving them towards
researchers and research in general. Secondly, researchers come to give data and don’t
give back. This is what Aboriginal people in Canada, for example, refer to as ‘helicopter
research” and others have called it “parachute research” and drive-by
research.” Researchers “fly in” to reserve communities, administer surveys, and leave.
Bullet 3: Third, communities may feel that researchers will “drain” their resources.
Researchers may hamper the work of the community’s mission (for example, taking staff
away from their usual responsibilities to attend meetings and perform tasks related to
the research). Bullet 4: Finally, “turf issues” among community members can hinder
trust. Community groups may be in direct competition for scarce funding dollars which
may lead to feelings of “why do we need to spend money to research what we already
know”? Therefore, your respectful approach and demeanor, and your clarity about your
purpose and the project, create trust that helps the project advance, and builds
willingness for members of the community to work with you, and other university
colleagues, in the future.

Slide 10: Fundamentals for Working With the
Community
Fundamentals for Working with the Community:
The following slides summarize seven
fundamental concepts for working with the
community. They include detailed information
as well as actions which will help
outsiders become more familiar with how best to
work in a community.
Slide 11: Fundamental 1: Understand the
community context and geography
Fundamental 1: Understand the community
context and geography. We encourage you to
look at factors that contribute to how the
community views someone from your institution
or any other service-providing agency. Consider
historical events that have shaped the
community’s views. Understand community views about health care and your institution.
Identify the main neighborhoods and their characteristics. Be familiar with health-related
organizations serving these neighborhoods.
Slide 12: Actions
Some possible actions include: Identify people at
various local health-related organizations to
whom you can speak to learn more about the
community. Good starting points could be
leadership at the local/county health
department, department of social services,
and/or school(s) of public health in the area.
Secondly, talk to people to get a better understanding of impacting matters such as race
relations, political issues, and social and environmental conditions. Third, read about the
history of the area. Fourth, read the local paper to know current issues.
Understand community context/geography Respect social customs Respect cultural beliefs and behaviors Recognize that people communicate differently Be approachable Observe community etiquette Work towards becoming culturally competent

Slide 13: Fundamental 2: Respect social customs
Fundamental 2: Respect social customs. It is
important to value peoples' opinions and
personal space. Societies have different norms
concerning issues such as: how close to stand to
another person when talking, whether people
touch each other during a greeting, how much
body language and expression people display
while speaking, how much eye contact is appropriate during a conversation, how formal
language should be with a new acquaintance, how open to be with people in positions of
authority, what topics and what personal information can be discussed in a private
conversation or with a group.
Slide 14: Actions
Some possible actions include: First, observe
how much community members interact with
each other and with visitors. Next, be aware of
group norms regarding physical contact. Some
people are comfortable with a verbal greeting,
some prefer to shake hands and others will give
a hug. As people get to know you they may treat
you differently, more like a friend than a colleague. Finally, unless directed otherwise,
address people formally, not by first name. Ultimately, the key point to remember is to
always try to respect the views and decision of community members.
Slide 15: Fundamental 3: Respect cultural
beliefs and behaviors
Fundamental 3: Respect cultural beliefs and
behaviors. Culture can be thought of as an
integrated pattern of learned beliefs and
behaviors that are shared among a group of
people. Beliefs and behaviors can include styles
of communication, ways of interacting, views on
roles and relationships, values, practices, and customs. Try to respect the different
cultural beliefs and behaviors of others which may differ from your own, such as issues
regarding: appropriate roles of males and females in society, reverence for elders,
appropriate dress, the importance of education, wealth and status and the role money
plays in religious ceremonies.
Observe how community members interact with each other and with visitors.
Be aware of group norms regarding physical contact.
Unless directed otherwise, address people formally, not by first name.
Ultimately respect the views and decisions of community members.

Slide 16: Actions
Some possible actions include: Observe
interactions carefully to develop sensitivity to
cultural differences. For example, does your
group of interest say grace together before a
meal? Do they begin meetings with a
prayer? How do they introduce themselves? Do
they identify themselves by their jobs, their
churches, their families, or by their volunteer activities? How do they end a meeting?
Next, respect cultural differences when interacting with community members. For
example, notice if people interrupt each other during meetings, how much deference is
shown to older people, how loudly people speak. Is it acceptable to criticize someone
during a meeting even if they are not present? Finally, understand the role that cultural
plays in overall health care, prevention attitudes, and treatment decisions. For example,
do cultural beliefs encourage more fatalistic attitude regarding prevention and/or
treatment? When discussing treatment decisions, does a male elder need to be present
and/or make the final decision?
Slide 17: Fundamental 4: Recognize that people
communicate differently
Fundamental 4: Recognize that people
communicate differently. For example, within
communities, there are often accent and
language use differences which are related
to race or social class. Word usage may be
different among age groups within a
community. When trying to understand or use a language that you do not know well ask
for help; there may be false cognates which are words that sound like English, but have a
different meaning from the word in English.
Observe interactions carefully to develop sensitivity to cultural differences.
Respect cultural differences when interacting with community members.

Slide 18: Actions
Some possible actions include: Awareness of
regional speech differences, cultural variations in
meaning of words. Maintain eye contact and
general communication with the person
speaking, especially when working with
interpreter. Ask questions if you do not
understand what is being said. Paraphrase what
you think the person said to make sure you have understood them.
Slide 19: Fundamental 5: Be friendly,
approachable, and attentive in order to learn
from community members
Fundamental 5: Be friendly, approachable, and
attentive in order to learn from community
members. Be accepting of all members of the
community. One of the responsibilities of
community work is to welcome the opportunity
to work with every community member. Use good judgment — you are representing
your institution. Take care not to do anything that might offend a community
member. Treat others with the respect with which you would want to be treated.
Slide 20: Actions
Possible actions include: remember that you are
a guest when you are visiting in a community. Be
open and ready to learn. Be patient and polite.
Take the time to listen carefully to community
stories and discussions.

Slide 21: Fundamental 6: Observe community
etiquette
Fundamental 6: Observe community etiquette.
Follow through on your commitments. Be
flexible; plans often change. When presenting a
project, follow the protocols that exist within the
community.
Slide 22: Actions
Some possible actions include: First, as a
representative of your institution, be mindful of
being on time and of your overall presentation.
When working in community settings, it is best
to dress professionally to show respect.
However, do observe community norms and be
ready to alter your sense of time and appearance
to conform to that of the community. If not sure how to dress or how to negotiate
community norms, ask a community member. Be aware of the hierarchy of power and
of gatekeepers who may provide helpful insight and information or who may not support
your project if they feel they have been left out or slighted. The gatekeepers of a
community can be formal, recognized leaders such as the pastor at a church or the
president of a neighborhood association, or they may be informal such as long term
residents.
Slide 23: Fundamental 7: Work towards
becoming culturally competent
Fundamental 7: Work towards becoming
culturally competent. Cultural competence is a
developmental process, not an end result. It is a
continual process which encourages awareness
of one's own social and cultural
assumptions while learning about the culture
and beliefs of others. As defined by the DHH Office of Minority Health in 2001, cultural
competence can be conceptualized as: “A set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and
policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals that enables
effective work in cross-cultural situations.”
As a representative of your institution, be mindful of being on time and of your overall presentation.
If not sure of how to dress or how to negotiate community norms, ask a community member.
Be aware of the power hierarchy and of community gatekeepers who can provide helpful insight.

Slide 24: Actions
Possible actions to increase your cultural
competency for community work include:
Examine your own cultural assumptions and
beliefs. Try to become aware of personal
attitudes, beliefs, biases and behaviors that may
influence interactions with colleagues and staff
from diverse racial, ethnic and socio-economic
backgrounds. Consider every encounter as a cross-cultural experience. Racial and ethnic
groups are not homogeneous. There is great social and cultural diversity within these
broad classifications. Be flexible and adaptable. Be aware of differences within groups.
Be prepared to address communication barriers.
Slide 25: Steps for Planning Community Health
Programs
Steps for Planning Community Health Programs:
Using a structured process is the best way to
develop an effective community health program.
First, respectfully approach community leaders
and residents. Consult with staff who
knowledgeable about area communities. Next,
talk to community leaders/members about their health concerns. Third, match your
interests with a community’s areas of concern. Let them know about the interests and
resources your team could contribute to a health program. Meet in the community
whenever possible. Form a community advisory board. It is advisable to do so for a
community advisory board should include people who have been interviewed about
community health needs. Work with this advisory board to find an area of common
concern. Do not start with your own idea of what the topic or the approach should be.
Next, solicit help from the community advisory board and others to develop a program
plan. Consider inviting local health agencies and organizations to become partners in
developing this community program. Make plans for financial sustainability. Do not
forget to do so. If it is not intended to continue, be sure everyone involved or contacted
by the program knows those plans and when it will end. Share funds with local partners
who contribute to the program.

Slide 26: Steps for Planning Community Health
Programs
With the advisory board, plan program
evaluations to monitor progress and results.
Share the results of these evaluations with your
CAB and other community members. Then,
implement the program. Keep the CAB and other
contacts in the community aware of the project's
successes and challenges. Be honest and open to suggestions to improve or re-direct the
program. Be sure to use progress data to modify the program to improve it. Share
aggregate data and analysis. It is important to use results data to document the
program’s impact. Again, share aggregate data and analysis. It is crucial to thank all who
have contributed to the program and to acknowledge their specific contributions. And
finally, last but not least, disseminate outcomes to all involved and to wider audiences.
In summary, in order to be successful one must be able to: listen carefully; spend time
working with the community; negotiate; respect the judgment and will of the
community; and remain focused. Flexibility, adaptability and a sense of humor are
essential skills in any environment but are especially important in planning and
conducting community health programs. The steps listed above are to be thought of as
guidelines, not hard and fast rules.
Slide 27: Summary
In summary, there are a few key points to take
from this module presentation. First,
determinants of community health are often
multi-layered and interrelated. Aside from
individual risk factors, determinants of health
include the conditions in which people are born,
grow, live, work and age, including the health
system. These circumstances are often shaped by the distribution of money, power and
resources at global, national and local levels, which are themselves influenced by policy
choices. Second, practicing the fundamentals of community engagement can help gain a
community’s trust and determine a community’s true health needs. The process of
working with a community to determine health needs and develop appropriate programs
requires different knowledge and skills than those used in a conventional clinical
setting. A better understanding and proficiency in practicing the fundamentals of
community engagement can allow you to better assess community needs, assets and
resources. Together, you and your community collaborators can develop a strong and
trusting partnership to address the community’s most important health needs. Finally,

implementing successful community health programs requires thoughtful planning and
collaboration with community partners. Efforts to get communities to change lifestyle
behaviors or surrounding environments will be most successful if those asked to make
such change are included in the planning (and, hopefully, even the implementation
and/or evaluation) process. In addition to fostering positive health program outcomes,
partnership with the community is also thought to empower community participants by
increasing their knowledge and skill levels, their feelings of control and competence to
make a difference, and their sense of self-worth and dignity. Furthermore, community
collaboration builds a community’s capacity to tackle future health issues. It also fosters
the overall health of the community by strengthening citizens' trust in each other and
their connectedness to the community.
