SUMMARY:Higher Education and Community Engagement: Building Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Black Health’s Health Equity Summit Event is a student-led event held at Lehman College in collaboration with the City University of New York (CUNY) institutions (Lehman and Hostos Community Colleges). The summit attracts a diverse array of participants\, including students enrolled in degree programs and stakeholders from the public and private sectors who are dedicated to addressing health disparities that impact Black and Brown communities\, specifically communities in the Bronx\, New York. The summit centers around Black Health’s three pillars – education\, policy and advocacy – addressing topics ranging from HIV/AIDS\, mental health\, diabetes\, and other health disparities that disproportionately affect Black and Brown Communities. The summit highlights the importance of engaging young people and educating them not only about health\, but also about their roles in civic engagement and advocacy. By gaining an understanding of the social and political determinants of health\, youth can develop the tools to come up with creative solutions that promote health equity for communities disproportionality impacted by health disparities.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Facilitators of and Barriers to Community Engagement Among Faith-Based Organizations in New York City
DESCRIPTION:Black Health’s Outreach Enhancement: Faith Based Organization Program (OEF) collaborates with faith-based organizations across the five boroughs of New York City to provide high impact HIV prevention services in geographical hot spots in communities of color where HIV infections are most heavily concentrated (as defined by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDOHMH). The integrated network of FBOs and other community partners is uniquely positioned to reach populations at highest risk within these geographic hot spots. Two mixed methods surveys were conducted with FBOs and community members to identify facilitators of and barriers to community engagement. Data from the surveys will aid in understanding challenges faced by FBOs when engaging community members\, thus providing meaningful insight on how to promote effective outreach and sustainability as well as strengthen partnerships with stakeholders.
