Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation attendees will be able to:
- 1. Participants will be able to adapt the Southeast Asian promising models and practices in their own work.
- 2. Participants will be able to use the promising models to explore ways to enhance their community capacity building and systems change.
- 3. Participants will be able to experiment with and adopt tips and tools used to engage the Southeast
The groups that are working with priority populations, those who would need tools to allow working with priority populations, and those working on policy, social norm or systems change would benefit from this panel.
Key Points:
Since 2007 a group of SEA leaders representing various SEA non-profit organizations, along with a researcher from the University of Minnesota, began to craft ideas to tackle the problem of tobacco use within their communities. The dandelion and embedded models which have been developed by STEEP to engage, educate, and change social norms and systems within the Southeast Asian communities will be discussed, along with the collaborative model that brings four SEA communities together.
Evaluation data of the project (including both process and outcome results), sample of policies developed for various systems (events and organizations), and lessons learned from doing this work will be highlighted.
Educational Experience:
Based on the dandelion and embedded models, selected education (i.e., storytelling and demonstrations) and engagement strategies (i.e., target places and events in the community where people often congregate), tools (i.e., posters) and demonstrations (i.e., artificial products) will be shared with the audience.
Benefits:
STEEP is one of the very few collaborations in the nation that involves four SEA communities, along with a major research university, to tackle health equity issues. Thus, several suggestions based on our lessons learned will be shared with the audience
