Role of Communities in Population Health Improvement
2015
This National Academies workshop report explores the potential of local groups to transform social and environmental conditions for population health. It is based on the voices of speakers from across the United States at a 2014 workshop held by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Population Health Improvement, to discuss the potential roles of communities for improving population health. The workshop focused on youth organizing, community organizing, or other types of community participation, and partnerships between community and institutional actors. The resulting report examines the roles and potential of the community as leaders, partners, and facilitators in transforming the social and environmental conditions that shape health and well-being at the local level.
