View Award Description

BATON ROUGE ADVANCING HEALTH LITERACY TO ENHANCE EQUITABLE COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO COVID-19 - The Baton Rouge Advancing Health Literacy (BRAHL) project proposes to serve an urban area of focus consisting of vulnerable citizens residing withing primarily six (6) districts in East Baton Rouge Parish, LA. This project will utilize a collaborative leadership approach designed to promote citizen access to information they can use to protect and promote their health. The districts chosen are those identified by the CDC Social Vulnerability Index as having the greatest risk for experiencing disparities in COVID-19 outcomes. Led by the Office of the Mayor-President, BRAHL will work in conjunction with the Vulnerable Communities and Peoples Initiative, Southern University Law Center and Baton Rouge Community College. Both Southern University and Baton Rouge Community College are minority serving institutions. Utilizing the National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy, BRAHL will incorporate the seven (7) enumerated goals of the plan into its strategies for achieving the goals and objectives identified in the proposal. Specifically, BRAHL will: 1) develop strategies to increase awareness of available health resources throughout vulnerable communities; 2) build capacity of and empower community-based organizations to implement best practices for educating communities; 3) train students enrolled at Southern University Law Center in health policy and practices, and provide opportunities for sharing that knowledge with vulnerable citizens; 4) engage community-based non-profit organizations, government entities, faith-based organizations, business, public and private institutions to create a network that improves and strengthens equitable access to health information and public health resources and services.
