BRIDGING THE GAP: HOW GRASSROOTS, COMMUNITY- AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS CAN TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES
The Coalition is committed to working with you to address the impact of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) on individuals, particularly in marginalized communities. Studies have shown that SDoH, such as one's zip code, skin color, level of education, employment status, and other socio-economic and environmental factors, can predict a shorter life expectancy of up to 20 years compared to their counterparts in neighboring communities. We believe that everyone deserves access to the resources and support they need to live a healthy and fulfilling life, regardless of their background or circumstances.
We are excited to share some great news with you! Your existing programs, ministries, and services are already making a positive impact on one or more of the Social Determinants of Health SDoH. It's true! Most of the community-based services, programs, and ministries you are involved in aim to improve socio-economic conditions and promote personal and/or professional development, which in turn have a significant impact on health.
In collaboration with researchers and other stakeholders, we are dedicated to working towards creating solutions that address how your programs, services, and ministries can positively impact of SDoH and improve the overall well-being of marginalized communities.
DATA IS POWER! JOIN THE RESEARCH REVOLUTION!
We're currently collecting general data on community partners experience with research, the types of data they currently collect, and demographic information about their population served.
By completing the needs assessment survey you'll be helping us establish a great baseline of irrefutable data that will be used to develop trainings and information sessions.
These sessions will help you understand the role of research in your work and highlight the benefits of participating in community academic research partnerships. Think program evaluation, establishing best practices, increasing revenue, and deepening impact.
This is our chance to be heard and contribute to the advancement of your work and the community as a whole.
