  1. The Current Situation • The Washington Post reports that the width of a standard movie seat used to be 19 inches…. • It is now 23 inches.. • Journal of Pediatrics, 2006, reported that 1 percent of all American infants and children – more than 283,000 children – are too big to fit in a car seat…. Susan Combs, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts

  2. The Current Situation • Since 1970, the prevalence of obesity has doubled for preschool children • And tripled for school-aged children • Currently, 37% of school aged children are obese or overweight. Strauss RS, Pollack HA. JAMA, 2001;286:2845-8 Ogden et al JAMA 2006;295:1549-55 Margellos-Anast et al; Public Health Reports. 123;117-125

  3. The Current Situation • With a focus on obesity alone, 19% of school aged children are obese. • Disproportionate numbers nationally: • African Americans 22% • Mexican Americans 23% • Non-Hispanic white 18% Ogden et al JAMA 2006;295:1549-55 Margellos-Anast et al; Public Health Reports. 123;117-125

  4. The Current Situation • The Prevalence of Obesity Among Children in Six Chicago Communities • Sinai Improving Community Health Survey • Door to door, population based health survey • 501 randomly selected children aged 2-12 years • Humboldt Park Roseland • North Lawndale South Lawndale • Norwood Park West Town Margellos-Anast H, Shah AM, Whitman S. Public Health Reports. 123;117-125.

  5. The Prevalence of Obesity Among Children in Six Chicago Communities • Three stage sample design • Communities by probability proportionate to size (PPS) sampling • Households selected at random • Household screen survey to an adult and a child/caretaker. • Survey methodology: Survey Research Laboratory of UIC Margellos-Anast H, Shah AM, Whitman S. Public Health Reports. 123;117-125.

  6. The Prevalence of Obesity Among Children in Six Chicago Communities Percent Margellos-Anast H, Shah AM, Whitman S. Public Health Reports. 123;117-125.

  7. The Prevalence of Obesity Among Children in Six Chicago Communities • Major findings: • Nearly half the children (aged 2 – 12) in five of six communities were obese compared to 16.8% nationally. • Prior community-level evaluations have found only 23-25% of school children were obese. • The prevalence of obesity exceeded the prevalence of overweight by a factor of four in Humboldt Park and a five in Roseland. • Contrary to what would be expected. Margellos-Anast H, Shah AM, Whitman S. Public Health Reports. 123;117-125.

  8. The Decline in Cardiovascular Mortality Men Age Adjusted All Races; Out of hospital mortality per 100,000; NEJM, McGovern,et al, 334, 1996

  9. The Decline in Cardiovascular MortalityWomen Age Adjusted All Races; Out of hospital mortality per 100,000; NEJM, McGovern,et al, 334, 1996

  10. The Current Situation - CVD • While dramatic improvements in CVD mortality declines for over 40 years have been praised as one of the major health accomplishments of the twentieth century, recent data suggests that CVD mortality rate declines are slowing to 1.5% per year • Despite significant and notable declines in stroke mortality for over 60 years, stroke mortality is no longer falling. R Cooper et al. Circulation, 102, no. 25 (2000):3137-3147

  11. The Current Situation - CVD • Two well-designed population based studies • Worchester, Mass • Olmstead County, Minnesota • have found that the rates of new cases of heart disease have not fallen from 1990 forward, and for women, may have actually risen. • More recent concerns of potentially increasing incidence of CVD and CVD mortality in men and women. Goldberg RJ et al. JACC, 33 #6 (1999); 1533-1539. Roger VL et al. Annals of Internal Med.136;#5 (2002): 34-348. Anciero et al. American J of Med;117:4 (2004):228-233. Pearson TA. Health Affairs 26;12007): 49-60

  12. The Current Situation – Life Expectancy • The Reversal of Fortunes: Trends in County Mortality and Cross County Mortality Disparities in the US • NCHS data used to calculate life expectancy for all US counties between 1961 and 1999. • Between 1961 and 1982, life expectancy improved. • From 1983 to 1999, life expectancy declined significantly by 1.3 years for men and women in 48 counties (men) and 783 counties (women) Ezzati M, Friendman AB, et al. PLoS Med (5)4;e66, April 2008

  13. The Current Situation – Life Expectancy • Of note, the higher disparity partly resulted from stagnation or an increase in mortality among the worst-off segment of the population, with life expectancy for approximately 4% of the male population and 19% of the female population having either had statistically significant decline or stagnation. Ezzati M, Friendman AB, et al. PLoS Med (5)4;e66, April 2008

  29. Pathways into Health • Issues of Health & Health Education Disparities • Quality of care improved when patient and provider of same ethnicity • IOM’s study, ‘Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care’ provided a clear connection between poorer health outcomes for minorities and the shortage of minority health care providers.

  47. Activating the Pipeline: New Horizons in Accredited Work-Based Learning In collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Cruz Begay, PhD

  48. Native Interprofessional Development in Health Initiative Initial Focus: Frontline workers • CHRs, EMTs, Health Educators, Nurses, etc. • Forefront of Indian health system • Important pipeline • Interprofessional Education • Frontline workers need to be empowered to confidently contribute to Interprofessional teams. • Students in nursing, public health, and other disciplines need preparation to work with frontline workers.

  49. Pathways into Health • Frontline workers are an important pipeline. • AWBL may address many needs: • Place-bound adult learners. • Need for collaborative, experiential learning. • Learning that improves organizational performance. • Orientation and preparation for additional degree programs. • Credit toward degree completion or new degree. • Setting for interprofessional training • Provide Stimulus for Systems Change
