Book Synopsis The Healthy Start Initiative by : Meri McCoy-Thompson
Download or read book The Healthy Start Initiative written by Meri McCoy-Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes the experiences of each of the 15 rural and urban Healthy Start initiatives. These projects were set up in areas that had infant mortality rates that were 1.5 to 2.5 times the national average. Project locations include major cities such as Chicago, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; and Oakland, California, and rural areas in South Carolina and the Plains states. The projects brought together families and community organizations to design and implement new procedures in an intensive effort to reduce the infant mortality rate in their communities by one-half within 5 years. In this report, representatives from each of the projects share the lessons they learned in planning and implementing the Healthy Start initiative to reduce infant mortality. While some speakers discuss unique aspects of their programs, many stress common themes. Recurrent themes in the reports include community involvement, consortia development, management and governance, program initiatives, provider issues, and sustainability. These themes are outlined in the executive summary at the beginning of the volume. (BAC)

This book was released on 1994 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Healthy Start Initiative is a national 5-year demonstration program that uses a broad range of community-driven, system development approaches to reduce infant mortality and improve the health and well-being of women, infants, children, and families. This volume, fifth in the series, deals with the topic of collaborating with managed care organizations. The book is designed to assist Healthy Start projects and their subcontracting service providers in developing proposals and entering into contracts with health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that serve Medicaid clients. It is designed to help these organizations: (1) understand and evaluate the needs and responsibilities of HMOs; (2) evaluate the capabilities of the Healthy Start project and its subcontractors; (3) identify the specific needs of targeted HMOs, and evaluate and adapt the organizational structure and services of the Healthy Start project and its service providers to meet those needs; (4) develop and market a managed care proposal; and (5) propose and negotiate a managed care contract. This report has 11 chapters: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "HMOs: The Basics"; (3) "Your State's Medical Managed Care Program and Opportunities for Healthy Start"; (4) "Factors Influencing an HMO's Willingness to Contract with a Healthy Start Project"; (5) "Becoming an Attractive Partner to HMOs"; (6) "Preparing To Act as a Contractor to HMOs"; (7) "Strategic Planning: How To Decide What Services To Offer to HMOs"; (8) "Developing and Marketing a Managed Care Proposal"; (9) "Proposing and Negotiating a Contract"; (10)"Ongoing Issues"; and (11) "Conclusion." Five appendices contain a glossary of terms, annotated HMO-Healthy Start Project contracts, a Healthy Start Project subcontractor agreement, a list of state Medicaid directors, and state maternal and child health contacts.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Haven Healthy Start Program is a 20-year-old program aiming to reduce infant mortality rates and maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the African American Community in several sites scattered throughout the United States. The primary purpose of this qualitative study was to identify participants' perceptions of the Healthy Start program based in New Haven and to link the initiative goals to its results based on the participants' accounts. The study sample was selected from the city of New Haven: Healthy Start Case Worker offices and shelter sites. The study participants' accounts were collected in a single interview format, consisting of African American women, 18 to 35 years of age, who were clients or former clients of the New Haven HS. The interview questionnaire centered on the following questions: How did the program affect the New Haven Healthy Start clients throughout their lifetimes as program participant? What were the factors that kept the New Haven Healthy Start clients in the program? The results revealed the importance of the Healthy Start workers in the shelter system and in making the program eligible clients adhere to the program by providing the necessary support in and after the shelter. Ultimately, this initiative may strengthen the program evaluation, provide more understanding into the Healthy Start Initiative's poor program outcomes and determine if the initiative from the clients' perspectives targeted their needs and fulfilled its goals.

This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are the foundation of the United States, and supporting them is a key component of building a successful future. However, millions of children face health inequities that compromise their development, well-being, and long-term outcomes, despite substantial scientific evidence about how those adversities contribute to poor health. Advancements in neurobiological and socio-behavioral science show that critical biological systems develop in the prenatal through early childhood periods, and neurobiological development is extremely responsive to environmental influences during these stages. Consequently, social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors significantly affect a child's health ecosystem and ability to thrive throughout adulthood. Vibrant and Healthy Kids: Aligning Science, Practice, and Policy to Advance Health Equity builds upon and updates research from Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity (2017) and From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development (2000). This report provides a brief overview of stressors that affect childhood development and health, a framework for applying current brain and development science to the real world, a roadmap for implementing tailored interventions, and recommendations about improving systems to better align with our understanding of the significant impact of health equity.
