Policylink and the UC-Berkeley School of Public Health recently released a report featuring 10 case studies about using community-based participatory research (CBPR) to foster healthy public policy. The report, “Promoting Healthy Public Policy through CBPR,” is freely available here (PDF).
The diverse community-academic partnerships featured in this report remind us that all public policy is health policy. The case studies include work to improve school conditions in Los Angeles, to reduce diesel bus pollution in Harlem, to ease the transition from nursing homes to the community in Chicago, to promote food security in San Francisco, and to engage young people in policy-making in New Mexico.
These examples of successful community-academic partnerships are a model for what we can do with HEAT.
