View Award Description

Reach Out and Connect (ROaC) Program Supplemental funds for Immunization Outreach - Reach Out and Connect (ROaC) is predicated on a community-based participatory approach (CBPA) and will leverage the strength of our existing coalition of partners to implement population-wide strategies to improve health, prevent chronic diseases, and reduce health disparities. Based upon on our collaborative needs assessment completed in 2017, the two populations experiencing the most profound health disparities were the Hispanic and Marshallese (Pacific Islander) communities. Therefore, the ROaC priority populations are the Hispanic and Marshallese living in census tracts located in Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington counties in Arkansas. Our 2017 needs assessment also showed Marshallese and Hispanic residents in these counties have high rates of poverty, chronic diseases, and/or have disabilities, and many have limited English proficiency, low levels of education, and other risk factors. Many Marshallese and Hispanic residents in these counties live in census tracts that are rural or otherwise disconnected from key community resources, including lack of access to healthy foods, culturally appropriate care, and safe places for physical activity. Therefore the priority strategies will focus on: (1) nutrition, (2) physical activity, and (3) community-clinical linkages. UAMS will use a CBPA approach and engage members of the Hispanic and Marshallese communities in all aspects of the program. By the end of the five year program, ROaC will have achieved the following period of performance outcomes (PPO): • PPO 1a: Increased number of places offering healthy foods from 0 to 10 in year one and 10 to 50 in years two - five, and increased number of persons with access to healthier foods from 0 to 31,000 in year one and 31,000 to 155,000 to years two-five • PPO 1b: Increased number of continuity of care/community support actions implemented for breastfeeding from 0 to 8,500 in year one and 8,500 to 42,500 in years two – five • PPO 2: Increased number of places that improve community design by connecting safe and accessible places for physical activity from 0 to 4 in year one and 4 to 20 in years two – five, and increased number of persons with safe and accessible places for physical activity from 0 to 22,000 in year one and 22,000 to 110,000 in years two – five • PPO 3: Increased use of appropriate and locally available health or community programs from 0 to 47,500 in year one and 47,500 to 237,500 in years two – five • PPO 4: Increased number of public messages to promote nutrition, physical activity, and community-clinical linkages from 0 to 96 in year one and 96 to 480 in years two – five Strategies and activities to address each PPO include evidence-based culturally tailored interventions that will be implemented in collaboration with multisector partners in the community that comprise the ROaC coalition. The ROaC coalition consists of the primary partners that comprise the ROaC community advisory board (CAB): the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), Arkansas Better Chance Program, Economic Opportunity Agency (EOA) of Washington County, Faith in Action Research and Resources Alliance (FARRA), Health Partners, Mercy Health Systems, Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, Northwest Arkansas Head Start, Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission, Pastores Unidos, Samaritan Community Center, and Washington Regional Lactation Consultants. The existing ROaC coalition has substantial experience and a long history of working together with the Hispanic and Marshallese communities to improve health. UAMS will serve as lead applicant and contributes staff with extensive budget management, administration, evaluation, performance monitoring, data management, and communication experience. All staff have experience working with the Hispanic and Marshallese community.
