GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES HEALTH DIVISION WOMEN'S CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH PROJECT PROPOSAL The Worksite & Community Health Promotion (WCHP) program of the Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) is part of a statewide cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention program funded through the Michigan Department of Community Health. WCHP targets adult populations with priority given to higher risk groups such as minorities, low income, and/or uninsured individuals. • The WCHP program has been awarded funds from the Michigan Department of Community Health, Cardiovascular Health and Nutrition Section, in the amount of $50,000. This funding will enhance existing efforts to reduce CVD risk by increasing awareness and changing behaviors related to CVD. The grant timeframe will be effective November 1, 2001 through October 31, 2002. • The target population as specified by the request for proposal is African American women. WCHP will target this population through culturally appropriate radio spots on a radio station with an African American audience for a one-year promotion (November, 2001-October, 2002). • CVD is the number one killer in Michigan, and Michigan ranks third worst in the nation for heart disease death rates among African American women. According to 1996 Oakland County Community Assessment data, African Americans in Oakland County are at greater risk for CVD than their Caucasian counterparts in areas such as obesity, access to healthcare, high fat and cholesterol diets, and fitness levels. It is estimated that 45% of CVD deaths could be prevented by lifestyle and behavior changes. • Grant funds will finance radio spots, literature printing, an evaluation component, mailing, staff time for the project, mileage, and literature racks for distributing literature at the partner organizations, Lighthouse of Oakland County and through the radio station's special events. • Functions of the Women's Cardiovascular Health Project include: • Developing culturally appropriate radio spots in coordination with the radio station. It is estimated that 14,000 individuals will be reached with 112,000 pieces of literature, and 130,000 African American women listeners will be reached by each of the 75 radio spots through the year. • Promoting eight different "Fridge Fact" (CVD prevention) literature pieces, offered free to the public (see sample). • Distributing literature by individual requests, through Lighthouse of Oakland County efforts, and through the radio station's special events. • Evaluating the program through follow up post card surveys. • Partners for this project include: • The radio station that we choose will promote Fridge Fact literature at all Special Events that they host. • Lighthouse of Oakland County will serve as a literature distribution point, as it located centrally in Oakland County.
