“An increasing number of patients are utilizing federally qualified health care centers every year and given the target population of those who are probably most at need or have been kind of historically underserved, they also, unfortunately, disproportionately experience behavioral health challenges. So, it kind of leads to this situation where there's really high behavioral health needs amongst patients serviced by federally qualified health centers.”

Authors Kelsey S. Dickson and Tana Holt share how they applied the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and the Health Equity Implementation framework to conduct a needs and context assessment to inform the development and testing of evidence-based practice strategies and implementation support as part of a care coordination program within a partnered Federally Qualified Health Center. They share their methodology, key findings, and recommendations for improving the postpartum outcomes of this population. The authors share how care coordination was enhanced and offer a glimpse into the next phase of this research.

"If you ask me, the most important thing is: who is at the table and who's not, right? Because –who is at the table and who's not?– determines what's on the agenda and the values that are underlying whatever's going on. So the most important structural intervention that you could make is to involve people who have a strong interest in whatever the proceeding is or whatever the effort's going to be, to be at the decision making table."

"It's our duty as the original stewards of this land to cultivate balanced and healthy relationships with all aspects of our food systems so that we can all continue to thrive."In this episode, Cassandra Nguyen is in conversation with Tara Maudrie about food sovereignty, which is more about the idea of relational stewardship through our foodways, rather than agency. She reminds us to think about whose knowledge and frameworks we are privileging in the way we evaluate and measure outcomes.

“Arts and prescription is such an important model on its own, and it's also an example of what we can do when we allow ourselves to imagine that things can be different than they have been.”

In this episode, Dr. Tasha Golden discusses what “arts on prescription” is, what we’ve learned about it from research and emerging models, and why it matters for improving community and whole-person health. She encourages us to imagine what it means to have well being and what it would look like if our health care systems/providers were a part of not only that absence of disease, but the presence of well being in people's lives.

"If you ask me, the most important thing is: who is at the table and who's not, right? Because –who is at the table and who's not?– determines what's on the agenda and the values that are underlying whatever's going on. So the most important structural intervention that you could make is to involve people who have a strong interest in whatever the proceeding is or whatever the effort's going to be, to be at the decision making table."

In this episode, Arden Castle is in conversation with Dr. Camara Jones and Dr. Keon Gilbert about race, racism, and antiracism. They dissect these definitions, identify patterns in the US and UK, encourage making institutional walls porous, and discuss intergenerational bridging. Dr. Jones also offers her 4 Habits of Mind (the 4 BC's) for social justice warriors: be courageous, be curious, be collective, and build community.

"It's really important to have people do the work, the slow work often, of walking around a neighborhood, in this case, and really looking at what's actually on the ground, literally, like, where are the cigarette butts, where are things happening, what does the safety look like?"

In this episode, Dr. Maya Vijayaraghavan and Dr. Margaret Handley discuss clean air policies that limit indoor smoking in subsidized housing. They break down their multi-method approach which allows for a comprehensive approach to policy questions that expands past individual behaviors and recognizes the policy, environmental, and social context of behavior change and the need to intervene at each of these levels to facilitate behavior change. They remind us that ground truthing can help unpack and develop non-coercive incentive-based programs and policies with buy in from residents and staff.

In this episode, Dr. Terry O’Toole, René Lavinghouze, and Dr. LaNita Wright discuss the 5 Priority Actions that states and communities can take to prevent serious chronic diseases, which are designed to improve the environments in which children, adults, and families can access healthy choices or live in places where it's easier to be healthy. They also explained the five program infrastructure themes that allowed recipients to pivot and remain nimble when COVID-19 placed pressure on the environment and implementation context. The CDC’s funding enabled many of the first-time writers to participate in writing workshops to demystify publishing, connect with subject matter experts, remove the barriers to writing resources, and battle imposter syndrome.

"What mobility justice means to me is that people feel safe, people have access, and people have voice when accessing public resources. And it's not just a system that they use, but a system that they engage in and participate in growing based on what their needs are."

In this episode, Karishama Vahora discusses their paper on mobility justice and engaging youth of color in decision making and policy making. Their paper aimed to start conversations around how we create equitable spaces for young people to 1) share their lived experiences with social services and 2) access different resources that we should all have access to. She reminds us to get involved, mobilize our support system, and build relationships with mentors.

“I think it's important to know that you don't need, I guess, like big institutions or a lot of money or a ton of experience even sometimes to accomplish really great things. As long as you're able to really form that partnership and really utilize those around you, a lot can happen.”

"CBPR is more than these tenants of what constitutes community engaged research. It's about really thinking about how you are going to demonstrate your commitment to a community... and to keep that respect intact regardless of what the institute might demand of you, because they're often at odds. And I think that keeping that front and center really shows your commitment to the process and your authentic respect of the process."

In this episode, Mory Chhom is in conversation with Dr. Jerusha Nelson-Peterman, Dr. Lindiwe Sibeko, Nora Tang, and Dr. Lorraine Cordeiro.

In this episode, Liana Schreiber and Alex Groten discuss a pilot intervention in which public health practitioners provided technical assistance to managers/owners of small food retail stores in Minnesota in order to increase healthy options through a variety of strategies including minimum stocking standards. They help shift the perception that health departments' only function is to regulate the food retail space; public health can be a supportive, helpful partner to food retailers when co-creating an action plan on how to improve community health. Due to the partnerships and evaluation success, two of the stores were able to receive larger scale infrastructure grants.

In this episode, Dr. Leah Chapman and Dr. Caitlin Caspi discuss how they hypothesized that incremental minimum wage ordinances in Minneapolis, Minnesota would increase household income, therefore improving mediators like stress and food security, which could lead to increased purchases and consumption of healthier and more costly foods such as fruits and vegetables. Qualitative interviews indicated that minimum wage increases could cause workers to lose SNAP benefits, offsetting the intended financial benefits of minimum wage ordinances. COVID-19 affected the study in ways that could not have been anticipated, but it shed light on the capacity for changes to SNAP, the effects of inflation on purchasing power in both cities, and ways to adapt in natural experiments.

In this episode, Dr. LaNita S. Wright is in conversation with coauthors Dr. Juliet Iwelunmor and Dr. Jeanetta D. Sims about their paper in HPP's What Is Antiracism in Health Promotion Practice? series. They reflect on the finished product with feelings of openness, illumination, and value. They used Relational Dialectics to frame this piece to help unpack their experiences through a framework that permits them to account for both sides of the spectrum of the experience without having to resolve or reconcile or even to offer recommendations about what to do with the– perhaps racist– infrastructures that they may have bring brushed up against during their times in academia. They also note that letters can be used to heal, letters can be used to name, letters can be used to dismantle, and letters can be used to address.

"Instead of training our public health students to work under the umbrella of a broken system or a system that can be greatly improved, it seems more efficient to turn the conversation and start to think through: how can we strengthen the funding organizations and their ability to support diverse scholars and diverse community orgs and projects to take a more proactive stance in leading to equity?"

In this episode, Dr. Liz Chen, Dr. Deshira Wallace, Dr. Cristina Leos, and Dr. Yesenia Merino help us explore aspects of White supremacy culture and how it shows up in the grants process.

"Our main goal or argument is: HCV rates cannot be changed or eliminated if we cannot meaningfully reduce incarceration rates and our reliance on the carceral apparatus, and reallocating funds from this apparatus to community-based prevention efforts will bolster elimination efforts for Hepatitis C and also improve overall societal outcomes."

In this episode, Prashasti Bhatnagar and Sonia Canzater discuss the need for reinvestment into communities as a preventive approach to decrease incarceration, as well as destigmatization of those experiencing incarceration because it prevents allocation of resources. They also draw attention to the carceral apparatus's failure to provide healthcare and the resulting effects on communities.

"If you ask me, the most important thing is: who is at the table and who's not, right? Because –who is at the table and who's not?– determines what's on the agenda and the values that are underlying whatever's going on. So the most important structural intervention that you could make is to involve people who have a strong interest in whatever the proceeding is or whatever the effort's going to be, to be at the decision making table."

"Before that, I was more so involved in exercise in health and wellness, but I realized there's medicine in that connection to people and really talking to people and seeing where they're at and what they need and what resources they need. And I thought, that's such a missing avenue within a lot of Tribal nations. You know, a lot of people go into nations and think, "We can fix this. We know what they need," instead of asking, "What do the people need?"

"What we're trying to create here is having creatives and communities of color and people from the margin speak for themselves, to themselves, right? Instead of having to speak through a researcher or to speak to a research audience. They can speak for themselves, to their own communities, to their own people...

This May, 2022 has been a moment of such stark global violence with people turning on each other, and particularly in the United States, the gun violence, mental health crisis, egregious attacks on rights, and so much more. There's just so much going on in our world that is violent. I appreciate you all allowing us to take a short break to finalize the content for this summer. What we have already recorded is profound and important, and we are so excited to bring it to you. But, in the meantime, I think we all need a little space in quiet. I know for me– as an Asian-American, as a woman, as someone in the queer community– it is a powerfully intersectional time, so we needed to take some time to rest and regroup and keep recording, and we are now back for June. If you were missing the HPP Podcast and in a need of some inspirational content, I'm going to link some playlists from our previous episodes that we found particularly inspiring.

Thank you again for allowing us this time, and we are excited to share what we have in store for you this June. Take care and be well.

Each week, we bring journal articles to life and reflect on public health practice. We've taken deep dives into topics like PhotoVoice and arts in public health. We've heard from emerging voices in the field on their work, the future of their work, and their goals for future practice. We've talked about imposter syndrome, the queer perspective in public health, ACEs, intersectionality, the importance of HBCUs, citizen science, academia, precarious work, the application of HIV prevention education in prisons, cigarette marketing on tribal lands, LGBTQ health priorities, what counts as scholarship in public health, black pastors perceptions on the role of sex education, 20 years of pride at Health Promotion Practice, tribal sovereignty, the Empower Action Model, gaps in LGBTQ tobacco research, systems perspectives, decolonization of human centered design, emergency preparedness, Health Promotion Practice internships, emerging technologies, and demystifying the peer review process.

In this podcast, Bob Strack and Robin Evans-Agnew interview one of the unsung heroes of health promotion practice. Physician-savant Roy Shaffer tells us his story of how he became motivated by his work with marginalized populations as a bush-doctor in Kenya to develop one of the first community-health-worker (CHW) programs to provide education and reliable data collection in hard to reach communities. Amidst a big push by the World Health Organization at that time to develop such programs, Roy was inspired by the newly published work of Paulo Freire to push for empowerment and engagement methods for health promotion. A developer of several useful mnemonics for education, Roy developed the SHOWeD questioning method for encouraging emancipatory dialogue between CHW's and the villagers in the places he would fly into. In this podcast we learn that Nina Wallerstein probably learned about the SHOWeD strategy from Roy during a trip she made to Kenya at that time, including it in her and Ed Bernstein's classic (1988, HEQ) article on empowerment education.

In the 1990's Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris adapted the SHOWeD questioning strategy for employment in photovoice, where it remains the principle questioning strategy used by practitioners and researchers to this day.
