| Abstract:
Six agencies collaborated to develop internet-based, county-level data profiles of School-aged Children and of Pregnancy and Young Children. Others are in development. The data cover risky behaviors, injuries and violence, social-emotional development, school and social environment and access to care.
Making data related to health and well-being readily available to community leaders and the general public is our way of assisting communities to take a more holistic look at subpopulations and the context in which they live.
These profiles include point-in-time and longitudinal data and are accessed through FloridaCHARTS.com, a site already being used by county/community based coalitions for targeting resources and applying for public and private funds to address relevant local issues.
Issues for discussion:
-Dealing with small numbers, both from the point of view of
confidentiality and rate stability
-Helping lay audiences interpret trend data
-Use of quartiles to help lay audiences identify salient issues

Using the Model for Collaborative Evaluations (MCE) to Address Health Disparities: Evaluations in Communities of Faith |

| Abstract:
Communities of faith typically have limited resources necessary to evaluate programs their ministries have undertaken. This is more apparent among Communities of Faith within minority communities, which experience the devastating impact of health disparities in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, health disease, stroke, and obesity. Some faith-based organizations have created health and wellness ministries within their congregations to address these disparities, but have scant information detailing the impact of these ministries on the health of the congregation. This session will address the use of the Model for Collaborative Evaluations (MCE) (Campos, 2005) to evaluate a health ministry in an African American church, including the outcomes, lessons learned and potential application of MCE in the future.
