1996-9997 Application
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Community Based Approach to Health Needs Assessment & Promotion
Submitted by: Weld County Health Dept&Northeastern Colorado Health Dept.
Contact: Lesli Bangert,M.A.,CHES,Weld County Health Department
Section 1 -National Criteria
1) Healthy People Year 2000 Objectives:
8.1 Increase years of healthy life to at least 65 years
8.10 Establish health assessment and promotion programs that separately or together
address three Healthy People 2000 priorities
2) Problem Statement:
It is widely acknowledged that preventive health approaches that hold the greatest promise are community based
and community wide and focus on both the ability to influence individual and community change in health
behaviors. Skills necessary to assess health status,design community based intervention strategies,and implement
effective and sustainable community based programs are not readily available to many local public health
jurisdictions.
This continuation project proposes to continue replication in several northeastern Colorado communities the model
community based programs which have been successfully implemented in Weld County by Weld County Health
Department and to share the experience with other local public health jurisdictions throughout the state of Colorado.
Project Background
Weld County Health Department has successfully demonstrated community assessment and health promotion
programs in four Weld County communities resulting in two substance abuse prevention projects,an adolescent
pregnancy prevention project,a solid waste removal projectrandxa community ordinance banning the burning of
residential waste and the arrangement for public collection services.
The success of the Weld County model is attributable to several factors: 1) problems or issues addressed within the
community are identified by the community and therefore"owned by the community; 2) solutions to specific
problems are developed by the community using available local resources and personnel and are therefore realistic;
3) significant energy on the part of Weld County Health department staff is focused on developing local leadership
and problem solving skills to assure the continuation of community efforts after withdrawal of Weld County Health
Department Staff.
3) Project Strategy:
Weld County Health department will utilize community personal and environment health assessment,to build
community level capacity for health promotion and health related behavior change. Included in the assessment will
be local level data available from the"Minimum Dataset for Colorado Counties". Over a three year period,a full
time health educator will work with communities to perform personal and environmental health assessment and to
implement community health promotion strategies using the model described above. The health educator will
970761
provide technical assistance to other Colorado public health units furthering the state wide development of
community assessment capacity. To assure that the needs of local public health units are being met and that efforts
of other agencies are not being duplicated by this project,an oversight committee has been established to provide
input and coordination.
The goal of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a community based assessment and health promotion
effort through the following strategies:
I) coordinate the community assessment project in 3 to 4 Weld County communities each year. (years one,two and
three will be used for project evaluation and gear down)
2) work with Northeastern Colorado Health Department to replicate the project to reduce the consequences of
health risk taking behavior identified as a priority in the selected community(Phillips County). Weld County
Health Department will provide technical assistance,materials and support in the performance of the assessment
and in the development of the community task force(Year one and ongoing as requested).
3) make available a step by step manual on community assessment and organization process to all other CHEC
members. (Year two)
4) hold training on community assessment and program implementation process for CHEC members at future
CPHA meetings or in some other format the membership deems appropriate.(Year 2/ongoing)
5) coordinate the entry of new and existing community based health promotion programs and new materials
developed into the CDPHE Community Health Education Section's CINCH database. Such entry will broaden
the pool of program resources available for health promotion program planning to public health units across the
state. (Year one and ongoing)
6) Maintain the coalition betty en other assessment projects awarded PHHS Block Grants including Tri-County
Health Department and theAIorthwest VNA in order to share resources,new assessment tools and successful
community based approaches.
4) FTE Assigned to Project- 1.0 FTE
5) Other Funds:
The project Coordinators wages and benefits(Lesli Bangers)is provided as in kind services equal to approximately
$5000.00 per annum.
6) Target Population: Weld County Residents(population: 142,000)
7) Disparate Population: Hispanic and Rural Population
8) State Outcome Objective:
a) Help communities identify and address local health problems with a process that includes a community
survey,review of local health data and apply for seed money for communities to address priority health
problems identified through the survey. (Colorado Action for Healthy People Strategies p.46)
970761
b) Develop a collaborative approach to building healthy communities that brings together disparate
citizens'health efforts. (Healthy Communities Initiative #3, p.47)
c) Serve as a point of access to a broad range of health education resources including the identification of
successful approaches to health education planning. (Community Health Education Section#1, p.45)
9) Impact Objectives(3-5 Years): Establish community health promotion programs that separately or together
address at least three of the Healthy People 2000 priorities and increase the proportion of state residents being
reached by such programs. (HP 2000: 8.10) The accomplishment of this objective will occur through:
a) increasing local capacity to assess community health promotion needs;
b) coordination of other assessment projects within the state of Colorado;
c) development of local leadership around health promotion activities.
10) Annual Objectives(Year Two):
The summary of activities and accomplishments was submitted with the original request short request for'96-'97
continuation funding and should be referred to for a more detailed analysis of'95-'96 achievements.
a) Windsor project-the Windsor project is to be phased out during'96-'97 with follow-up to determine
the maintenance of desired skills levels and continued need for leadership training and community
mobilization directed at project priorities
b) Hudson/Keenesburg-The Hudson/Keenesburg project will be phased out during the first half of'97
with follow-up to determine the maintenance of the desired skill levels and the need for follow-up
leadership training and community mobilization directed at project priorities.
c) In Northeast Colorado Health Department the following activities have been
achieved:
1) development of key informant interview list;
2) key informant interviews have been completed;
3) individuals to participate in focus groups have been selected and focus groups
successfully concluded.
4) A community opinion survey tool has been completed and agreement reached
to include survey in community phone bills
5) Past community assessments and other community data has been collected for
comparison purposes
e) Northeast Colorado Health Department-Annual Objectives-Year Two:
1)determine community concerns
2) develop a coalition in Phillips County to address and prioritize concerns
3)develop action plan addressing community concerns
4) hold community meeting on results of assessment
5) explore leadership development training opportunities with community
members and NCIID staff
6) evaluate NCHD's comfort level in community mobilization
970761
7) continue ongoing NCHD staff training and assessment of skill levels
f) Weld County Health Department-Annual Objectives- Year two
I) implement community assessment process in at least two other Weld County
communities(LaSalle,Eaton,or Johnstown/Milliken)
2) achieve more direct interaction/collaboration with Tri-County Health
Department and the Northwest VNA to share resources and successes
Section 2-State Measures
I I) Performance Evaluation
Performance evaluation will occur in two phases. Phase one will be process evaluation consisting of assuring
that the objectives and tasks outlined under the Annual Objectives section are achieved. Phase two will be the
evaluation of project outcome.
Project outcome will be measured by:
I) the capacity of the selected communities to maintain community mobilization and the necessary
leadership to address the problem(s)identified during the assessment process;
2) outcome will be measured by assessing the change in selected health behaviors and health status in
communities where interventions have occurred. This measurement will be performed using health
status indicators from the minimum dataset,results from the assessment tool,and baseline data for
comparison having been collected during the initial community assessment.
3) local public health unit capacity for performing community assessments will also be measured on an
ongoing basis and technical assistance provided.(See Health Education Standards Project)
12) Other Funding Sources:
The community assessments are intended,in part,to generate data necessary to position selected communities
to apply for seed money from Colorado for Healthy People or other sources of private funding.
13) Consequences of Loss of Funding:
If the project is not funded,assessments in Phillips County and Weld County will be abandoned before project
implementation has occurred. Additionally,collaborative work of the three assessment projects funded by
CHEC will not be summarized for the large body and shared work will go unevaluated. Trust established in
the communities assessed to date will be damaged if project goals are left uncompleted.
14) Collaboration:
Inherent in the community assessment process are collaborative efforts between diverse community groups
including government officials,businesses,schools,private citizens,among others. The project has also
collaborated with the minimum dataset project as a source of baseline data for the communities and the two
other assessment projects funded by CHEC.

COLORADO From John Pickle, Director, Health Department
Subject: Community Needs Assessment Contract
Enclosed for Board review and approval is a contract between the Weld County Health
Department and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for use of
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant funds for community assessment.
This is renewal funding for the second year of the program. The grant will fund a full-
time health education specialist to perform community assessments. This person will
also initiate an additional two to three community assessments in other Weld County
communities over the three year term of the grant. Through this grant, we will provide
additional training to other organized health departments within Colorado for the
development of a community assessment model.
For these services, the Health Department will receive a sum not to exceed $39,650
which is $2,176 more than we were funded for last year's contract. The term of the
contract is from March 1, 1997 through February 28, 1998.
I recommend your approval of this contract.
