Institutions of higher education have a responsibility to prioritize the needs of society and local communities. One essential need prevalent in all communities is to address the rise of obesity and health risks due to lack of participation in physical activity. In the United States, children spend a small percentage of time engaged in physical activity, and engagement decreases further in adolescence and adulthood. Collaborative partnerships between kinesiology faculty at universities and community organizations are one avenue for engaging children in physical activity. Partnerships must be multilevel and community wide to evoke change and have long-term impact and sustainability. Within the context of community-based research, we propose a three-step framework for establishing collaborative partnerships: (1) determining the needs of partners; (2) discussing expertise, services, and philosophy; and (3) providing a quality product. In addition, we outline and illustrate our experiences when collaborating with community partners to promote physical activity.

Background: UICC provides international fellowships to cancer professionals, with over 6000 to date, allowing them to learn new skills they can implement at home. It is crucial to monitor and evaluate the fellowship program so it remains in tune with the cancer community's needs and has a long term impact. Aim: To monitor and evaluate UICC fellowships to ensure they serve to reinforce the cancer care workforce worldwide. Methods: An online survey was performed in December 2017 as part of a larger mixed methods study to evaluate long term impact. 154 UICC fellows who had completed a fellowship between 2013 and 2016 were invited to take part. Participants were asked questions on their fellowship experience and more in depth interviews will be performed to further investigate impact. Results: The survey response rate was 75%, with 117 respondents. The vast majority of fellows work in hospitals, treatment centers and research institutes; 67% are academic cancer professionals and 35% clinicians, with most working in the fields of cancer detection, diagnosis and cancer treatment. Over 57% of respondents rated the training received as “extremely effective”, and 95% were still in contact with their host supervisors one year after their fellowship, with 28% copublishing with them. Over 80% estimated that their skills in cancer control had improved “a lot” or “a great deal” thanks to the fellowship training, with 12% saying “a moderate amount” and 1% “a little” or “none at all”. Initiatives taken by fellows upon returning home include the launching of a new cervical cancer screening program, the founding of a national cancer society and the organization of a conference with the host supervisor as an invited speaker. Challenges included the perceived short duration of one month to achieve all the objectives and the language barrier. 28% of respondents were able to apply the skills they learned on their fellowship “extremely effectively”, 44% “very effectively”, 28% “effectively” and 9% “slightly effectively”, with most giving a presentation to members of the home organization, or organizing a workshop or by personal demonstration. Over 43% were able to establish new collaborations in their country, 45% experienced professional growth and 27% increased their supervision of students “a great deal”. Over 90% of respondents would apply for another fellowship and would recommend it to their colleagues. Further results from in depth interviews with fellows will be presented. Conclusion: The majority of respondents were satisfied with their fellowship experience, and have been able to apply the knowledge gained and disseminated it to colleagues at their institutions. Fellowships have resulted in long term collaborations and have allowed fellows professional growth. Overall, the UICC fellowship program is successful in providing successful knowledge transfer to cancer professionals. Long term impact will be assessed in the next steps of the study.

UNSTRUCTURED Drawing on 5 years of experience designing, producing, and disseminating video health education programs globally, we outline the process of creating accessible, engaging, and relevant video health education content using a community-based, human-centered design approach. We show that this approach can yield a new generation of interventions, which are better aligned with the needs and contexts of target communities. The participation of target communities and local stakeholders in the content production and design process fosters ownership of the content and increases the likelihood that the resulting intervention will resonate within its intended primary audience and be disseminated broadly. Ease of future adaptation for additional global audiences and modification of the content for multiple dissemination pathways are important early considerations to ensure scalability and long-term impact of the intervention. Recent advances in mobile technology can facilitate the dissemination of accessible, engaging health education at scale, thereby enhancing the potential impact of video-based educational tools. Accessible and engaging health education is a cornerstone of health behavior change. Especially in low- and middle-income countries, increasing access to effective health education can contribute to improved health outcomes. Prior research has identified several characteristics of effective health education interventions. These include the integration of pictures, narratives, and entertainment-education, in which the health messages that make up the educational content are embedded. However, the effectiveness and long-term impact of health messages ultimately depend on how well the end users can identify with the content that is presented. This identification, in turn, is a function of how well the messages correspond to user needs and wants and how this correspondence is communicated through the design characteristics of the health education intervention.

The past decade has seen rapid growth in research that evaluates methods for reducing prejudice. This essay reviews 418 experiments reported in 309 manuscripts from 2007 to 2019 to assess which approaches work best and why. Our quantitative assessment uses meta-analysis to estimate average effects. Our qualitative assessment calls attention to landmark studies that are noteworthy for sustained interventions, imaginative measurement, and transparency. However, 76% of all studies evaluate light touch interventions, the long-term impact of which remains unclear. The modal intervention uses mentalizing as a salve for prejudice. Although these studies report optimistic conclusions, we identify troubling indications of publication bias that may exaggerate effects. Furthermore, landmark studies often find limited effects, which suggests the need for further theoretical innovation or synergies with other kinds of psychological or structural interventions. We conclude that much research effort is theoretically and empirically ill-suited to provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations for reducing prejudice.

Abstract Background Community-based medical education (CBME) has been evolving globally. However, the long-term impacts of CBME programs on career intention are ambiguous. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the long-term impact of community-based clinical training (CBCT) such as CBME programs in Japan on current community healthcare (CH) practice. Methods This cross-sectional study targeted physicians who had graduated from Kobe University School of Medicine between 1998 and 2004 and had over 15 years’ experience after graduation. Self-administered questionnaires were mailed to participants between September and November 2019. Of the 793 potential subjects, 325 questionnaires were undeliverable. A total of 468 questionnaires substantially sent to the subjects. The exposure was the undergraduate CBCT defined as clinical training about CH in a community. The primary outcome was the provision of current CH practice. The secondary outcome was rural retention. The odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and the confounders (age, gender, and attitude toward CH at admission; primary outcome, and age, gender, attitude toward rural healthcare at admission, own and spouse’s hometown, and emphasis on child education; secondary outcomes) were adjusted using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 195 (41.7%) questionnaires were analyzed. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of study participants was 43.8 (3.5) years and 76.4% were men. A total of 48 physicians (24.6%) experienced CBCT, of which the mean (SD) training period was 26.3 (27.3) days. As many as 148 (76.3%) physicians provided CH at the time of the study, and 12 (6.5%) worked in rural areas. There was no notable impact of undergraduate CBCT on current CH practice (OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 0.53–3.08; adjusted OR [aOR], 1.00; 95% CI, 0.43–2.30) and rural retention (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.06–2.94; aOR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.11–3.04). Conclusions It may be insufficient to use conventional CBCT in Japan to develop CH professionals effectively. Japanese CBME programs should be standardized through a review of their content and quality. They should continue to be evaluated for their medium- to long-term effects.
