Case Study of Faith-Based Outreach in New York City: Lessons Learned from A Risk Reduction Initiative;Final rept

摘要

In 1999, the New York City Satellite/Medical Health Research Association of New York City inc. (MHRA) of the New York State Center for Sudden Infant Death (NYC Satellite Office) designed a grandparent/elder focused faith based SIDS risk reduction outreach strategy to address African American infant mortality disparity. This monograph is a case study that describes the research driven process that the NYC Satellite Office followed to design and implement this initiative in four African American communities. The lessons learned from this project can be instructive to others as they consider an approach in their own local settings.
