  1. Interventions and Subinterventions

  2. SPHERE Framework • SPHERE Uses the “Intervention Model” as the Framework for the System • This model defines the scope of public health practice by: • Level of practice • Type of intervention

  3. SPHERE Documents and Evaluates Public Health Activities: • Using the following levels of practice: • Individual/Household (demographics & activities) • Community (activities) • System (activities) • Utilizing 18 interventions

  4. SPHERE Activities

  5. Levels of Practice • Interventions at each level of practice contribute to the overall goal of improving population health status • No one level of practice is more important than another • Most public health problems are addressed at all three levels, often simultaneously

  6. Public Health Activities -Individual/Household Focus • Changes knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices, and behaviors of individuals and households • Directed at individuals, alone or as part of a family/household • Individuals receive services because they are identified as belonging to a population-at-risk

  7. Public Health Activities - Community Focus • Changes community norms, attitudes, awareness, practices, and behaviors • Directed toward entire populations within the community or target groups within those populations • Measured in terms of what proportion of the population actually changes

  8. Public Health Activities - Systems Focus • Changes organizations, policies, laws, and power structures • Focus is not directly on individuals and communities • Focus is on the systems that impact health • Effective and long-lasting way to impact population health

  9. Public Health Problem Addressed at All Three Levels • Problem: Smoking rates continue to rise among adolescents and low-income pregnant women

  10. Smoking Rates Addressed at the Individual/Household Level • WIC nutritionists counsel pregnant women enrolled in the WIC Program about the effects of smoking on their health and their baby’s health

  11. Smoking Rates Addressed at the Community Level • Public health nurses coordinate youth led, adult supported, social marketing campaigns intending to change the community norms regarding adolescents’ tobacco use • Health Educators teach middle school health classes that • increase knowledge about the risks of smoking • change attitudes toward tobacco use • improve “refusal skills” among youth 12-14 years of age

  12. Smoking Rates Addressed at the Systems Level • The Health Officer facilitates community coalitions that advocate the city council to remove cigarette vending machines within the city limits

  13. Interventions Actions taken on behalf of individuals, families, systems, and communities to improve or protect health status

  14. Implementing Interventions • Not every intervention can be applied at the individual/household, community, or systems level • Interventions are not distinct from one another and overlap • Interventions are grouped with related interventions • groups or “wedges” are color coordinated • In SPHERE, Policy Development and Policy Enforcement are separated into two interventions

  25. SPHERE Examples Utilizing Level of Practice and Interventions

  26. SURVEILLANCE • Community Level • WIC Project Directors review Prenatal & Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance Data for trends • PHNs continue to study trends in the increased rate of STIs in the community • Systems Level • The Regional CSHCN Center • Provides the central intake function for CSHCN for the entire region • Data is reviewed on the types of referrals received and the types of services needed.
