Study Notes
Community Definition
- Community is complex and primarily fulfills the shared needs of a group of people.
- Community needs vary and evolve over time.
- Geographic location defines communities in rural settings. Urban/suburban areas can be defined by location or characteristics like income (less than 200% poverty level) or immigration status.
- Population and community overlap but aren't identical.
- Population health discussions often involve panel medicine, but the actual community served by the residency program may differ.
Working with the Community
- Mapping: Create sketch maps of the catchment area, including the main village and surrounding areas.
- Household Enumeration: Count and document the houses to create family folders for each household.
- Socio-economic Profiles: Document each family's socio-economic standing and housing conditions in the folders.
- Health Assessments: Perform initial comprehensive medical checks to assess the community's health profile, identifying key health concerns.
- Community Profile: Record demographic features, economic activities, social structures, leading families/community leaders, and community organizations to compile a comprehensive community profile.
- Community Committees & Organizations: Identify and analyze existing community health committees, community development projects, related organizations, and their activities and structures (leadership patterns, culture, traditions).
- Community Issues: Evaluate available knowledge about environmental sanitation, education levels, and critical health concerns or problems within the community.
Community Health Committee (CHC)
- CHC creation can address a need for community-based engagement and leadership and improve communication and accountability.
- A CHC should be composed of members residing in the community for at least 10 years.
- Members should have good relationships with different groups in the community, demonstrate enthusiasm for board work, and possess an acceptable education level.
- CHC duties include: linking the community with health facilities, districts, and government, strengthening the relationship between the community and government, building community commitment to improve community health, promoting and facilitating the development of innovative solutions to community needs.
Family Health Model Initiation
- Rural Areas: Identify houses in the mother village and satellite areas, creating a folder for each household. Complete initial comprehensive examinations for all family members.
- Urban Areas: Create family folders similar to rural communities, noting that clear catchments areas and well-defined housing designs facilitate the process in urban environments.
Household Entry
- Entry should be guided by basic principles of respect and establishing rapport.
- Greetings and introductions by name and affiliation are essential.
- Assess the household dynamics and identify community leaders.
- Clearly articulate the visit's purpose, and assure confidentiality of information.
- Good communication skills, especially regarding child vaccination are essential.
