The health of men is an important factor in determining the well being and stability of a community. From a social determinant point of view, fathers/men with unhealthy lifestyles have an adverse impact on families and do little to promote positive youth development. Additionally, men of all races and socio-economic status are less likely to practice good health, visit health care providers, and take care of themselves. If we are to attempt to improve community health, we must direct more focus on men’s health and responsible/positive fathering.

Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) is a community based, action-oriented process aimed at improving services, systems, and resources for women, infants, and families. FIMR brings a multidisciplinary community team together to examine confidential, de-identified cases of fetal and infant deaths. Review of individual cases helps teams understand families’ experiences of racism and how those experiences may have impacted maternal and child outcomes. The website includes publications and resources, information on FIMR programs around the country, and links to partner organizations.

Community health workers (CHW) play an increasingly important role in helping Healthy Start (HS) Projects to keep women healthy. The Healthy Start EPIC Center has partnered with an outside researcher to explore the critical role played by CHWs through a survey of all HS grantees. The goal is to describe the role of CHWs in HS, including their background, experience, and primary responsibilities. The survey also explores training received, career advancement opportunities, potential impact on HS participant health outcomes, and progress around certification. The HS EPIC Center will use the results of the survey to support CHWs who are part of HS Project teams, including the development of a customized training program accessible to all Healthy Start grantees.
This webinar will review the purpose and format of the survey, as well as how the Healthy Start EPIC center plans to use the results. We will provide an opportunity for grantees to ask any questions prior to beginning the survey. All responses for the survey will be due by August 7th.
