View Award Description

Stronger Partnership, Stronger Community: Using Health Literacy to Increase Resilience (Stronger2) - The Stronger Partnership, Stronger Community: Using Health Literacy to Increase Resilience (Stronger2) will increase the availability, acceptability and use of COVID-19 public health information and services by Hispanic/Latinx and Black/African American within five Fairfax County focus areas (Chantilly/Centreville, Herndon/Reston, Bailey?s Crossroads, Annandale, Springfield, Seven Corners, Route 1 Corridor, Town of Occoquan). These communities have higher COVID-19 infection rates, higher proportion of COVID-19 deaths, higher scores on the COVID Vulnerability Index and lower immunizations rates compared to the Fairfax County Health District as a whole. The Stronger2 Partners will build on foundational programming to implement culturally proficient, intergenerational, community emersion strategies focused on social support, service navigations, culturally appropriate message creation with distribution through trusted channels and increased provider capacity to community health issues with their patients. Implementation will result in reaching the following outcomes: 1. Increase the number of COVID 19 vaccinated days [# of people vaccinated multiplied by # of days vaccinated by zip code] for Black and Latinx members by 20% over what would have been expected otherwise; 2. improve COVID-19 Health Literacy by 40%; 3. improve patient/provider communication by 30% a. increase patient-centered communication b. increase patient participation in decision-making c. increase trust between providers and community; 4. increase community resilience by 20%; and 5. increase social support by 20%.In short, Stronger2 will ensure that racial/ethnic minorities get vaccinated sooner than would have been expected without the intervention. This will result in increased vaccination uptake, enhanced culturally appropriate health literacy practices among providers and community members, and systemic changes in the healthcare delivery system. The initiative will implement s everal mutually-reinforcing, culturally appropriate strategies to reach five interrelated objectives (Text Box 1); all geared towards advancing HP2030 objectives (HC/HIT 01, 02 and 03) and ensuring equitable health outcomes among racial/ ethnic minority communities.
