UF CTSI Stakeholder Demographics

Community Health Concerns Engaging Multiple Stakeholders

2015 EAC Feedback

  • Is there an opportunity to assess in more depth the value of HealthStreet   to the CTSI, to the communities in which it works (social return on investment), and to research in general?
     
  • How to move HealthStreet   to subsequent stages of implementation?
     
  • Can an approach to better integrate the community health needs into the strategic plans for the CTSI and UF Health be developed?

Making Research Matter

Introduction/Aim

  • Racial and ethnic minorities are not likely to be enrolled in research
    - Despite demonstrated willingness to participate
  • Where does the disconnect between community member desire for research participation and actual research participation come from?

Results

  • Substantial discordance between community member health conditions/concerns and topics of available studies for them to participate in (see figure in next slide)

Discussion

  • The health conditions and health concerns of the community provide a wide range of public health relevant topics
  • Faculty research interests may not be aligned with community needs

Neighborhood Deprivation Index (NDI)

NDI was generated based on block group-level SES Indicators from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey:

  • Poverty: % HHs in poverty, % HHs earning <$30,000/year, % HHs with no vehicle
  • Occupation: % males(females) in management or professional occupations
  • Housing: % rented housing, % vacant housing, % renter/owner costs>50% income, median home values
  • Employment: % unemployed, % males no longer in work force
  • Education: % <high school education
  • Racial composition: % non-Hispanic blacks
  • Residential stability: % in same residence in the last year, % residents ≥65 years old

74% HealthStreet   participants are from areas with high deprivation*

HealthStreet   Frequent ED Utilizers

  • Characterized as ≥ 2 visits in the past 6-months 
  • Super-utilization is generally associated with:
    - Age- young adults and seniors
    - Females
    - Racial/ethnic minorities
    - Lower rates of employment
    - Higher rates of poverty
    - Less education
    - Medicare or Medicaid coverage
  • Between 4.6 to 8.0% of ED users are super-utilizers
    - These individuals account for between 21 to 28% of all visits
  • After controlling for age and gender, men with 3 – 5 chronic diseases had 6.33 AOR and women with 3 – 5 chronic diseases 3.49 AOR as those with no chronic diseases.  Significant AORs remained after adjusting for age, gender, depression, marital status, employment status and food insecurity (4.98 AOR and 2.49 AOR respectively)

Involvement of CAB in These Efforts

  • Help the CTSI prioritize research to include special populations and address community health concerns

 

  • Co-host one of HealthStreet's national Our Community, Our Health meetings (a national CTSA town hall CAB meeting)
    - Multiple CTSA CABs partnering
    - Idea initiated through the CTSA PACER group (Eder, Cottler co-chairs)

 

  • Serve as a stakeholder for CTSI evaluation and strategic planning, including representation on the CTSI Steering Committee

Process of Developing Conscientious Constituents

Rather than a focus on patients who are adherent, we want to participate with people in a process of developing conscientious constituents

  • Get to point where know what you know
  • Own it
  • Become your own currency
  • Develop that currency around your conditions
  • Find an equitable stake
  • Activate as a participant in a solution model
