Community Themes and Strengths Assessment Subcommittee meeting 8/16/11

We had a great MAPP CTSA meeting on 8/16 – 18 people attended!

Here is a quick summary:

In this assessment, we want to know:

· What is important to our community?

How is quality of life perceived in our community?
What assets do we have that can be used to improve community health?

These are themes and strengths identified after reviewing existing assessment/review of information for special groups:

· Coalitions/Groups/activities

· Facilities/Infrastructure (fitness, arts, etc.)

· Transportation

· Nature/environment (including trails, etc.)

· Educational infrastructure

· Access to health care

· Affordable housing

· Better mental health services

· More jobs/higher wage (seafood industries, fishing, tourism, government, mining, health care, etc.)

· Affordable energy (hydropower)

· Quality & quantity child care

· Violence prevention & education

· Healthy relationship

· Substance abuse prevention and treatment

· Youth activities

· Respecting diversity

Next step:

· Is this enough information we need to answer the questions?

o On 9/27/11, we will be looking closely at the 2005 COMPASS assessment themes and strengths

· Nee three levels of information gathering –

o Open discussion to elicit community concerns, opinions, and comments in an unstructured way. Asking open-ended questions ensures that issues of concern and interest to the community are raised.

o Perceptions regarding community quality of life. Questions about quality of life in the community can identify specific concerns. Information on perceptions about quality of life in a community can be gathered through a community survey/or community discussions.

o A map of community assets. Asset mapping is an important tool for mobilizing community resources. It is the process by which the capacities of individuals, civic associations, and local institutions are inventoried. (Nursing student, Eddie Locci to create a asset map of Juneau)

· Compile the results of the community themes and strengths assessment and share it with the entire community.

o How? (We will be discussing this on 9/27/11)

· Summarize key findings (two to five pages) for guiding work during the Indentify Strategic Issues phase. (in future)

Our next meeting is 9/27/11 2-3pm at the Juneau Public Health Center.
