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.
