How did each of the panelists define the role of the community leadership in addressing health inequities?
Liburd states that it is doubtful to reduce largely preventable health equity without community engagement, and there’s a need for community engagement and the local public health to bring community members into the community.
“For example, there’s low survey rate, because there’s no time to engage the community to help them to understand the important of question to what we are asking
for.
Dawes defines community leadership as “we the people”. He says that it takes communities to push and build the creation of laws and policies that would strengthen these equities in our societies.
Avula says that one of the fundamental roles of the local health department is to collect data to understand the health status of our a community depending on their ethical background and find a solution why certain communities are facing challenges and implement ways to overcome the issue.
Avula said “people don’t trust government and health care” considering the history of forced sterilizations. they must listen people and hear their voice. This will help us change our approach on what we are doing in order to be successful for better approach in reducing health
inequalities.
Why is it important to hire people from the communities to ensure they are serving the communities well?
Avulo says that to better understand health equity and serve the community, it’s important to higher people from the same community to help improve the health of their own community
and establish institutional resources to support and improve the community work, trust, and better understand over all community.
Dawes said “Red lining community” people close to the problem should be led the solution. We don’t have to repeat the same problem for Racism.
For-
example, those African American doctors who were used to get access. (Dawes, 2020).
Liburd said the CDC’s reach program reaches the communities and the program
works out better when individuals from same communities are involved and she
says that they do a better job than any other department could have done since they have better understanding on their own people. (Liburd, 2020).
How CDC has worked with communities and role communities should have in addressing health inequities?
Liburd says that all they can do for the communities is through REACH in order to help the communities that are in need. She also adds that they increased access for Covid19 testing along with healthcare access when many might not have health insurance, and isolation options for those who cannot do on their homes.
Avula says that the CDC help the community by changing the hiring approach as an effort and that they were able to recruit on about 20 new by cultural and bilingual since CDC was here.
Daniel Dawes mentioned the 4 priority strategies the Satcher Institute are employing to address inequities related to COVID. What are they?
Tracking data called “we must count” that collects on data to see who gets hit the most with the pandemic and endemic in every community and who gets effected in the time period considering the economic status of a community
Creating comprehensive data collecting platform to track health inequities focusing on the equities on access to tests (Covid19), vaccination, hospital room access and ventilators based on their racial ethnicity, tracking health equities related underlying conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Overall access to healthcare. (
Dawes, 2020).
Name one new thing you learned in the webinar. (or one thing which your found most interesting).
The strategies that Dawes mentioned in the webinar was very interesting to me considering the lack of health equality in our society. The data platform not only helps public health and health professionals use the segregated data to see what area health disparity accruing in a community or group of people but benefits the community to adequately benefit the systematic lack of opportunity. (Avula, 2020).
How did the webinar help you to better understand racial and ethnic health inequities related to COVID 19?
Liburd said “we have to protect our workers” that includes cashier workers, framers and others frontline workers during the Pandemic. So, there needs to be health equity concerning strategies sch as data. A Complete data offers evidence to increase access to testing, access to isolation areas and to increase the overall access to health care for those who might not be able to do so. It is also important to recruited people that speak different languages to better serve and understand racial/ ethnic iniquities during the Pandemic. (Liburd, 2020).
