Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Advancing Milwaukee Health Literacy Program
The Advancing Milwaukee Health Literacy Project will address COVID-related racial disparities through an innovative, multi-partner urban health literacy project led by the City of Milwaukee's Office of African American Affairs. The project goal is to reduce disparities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic through improving health literacy within Milwaukee's racial and ethnic minority communities.
Being a trusted hub for service access and cross-sector collaboration, the Office of African American Affairs is ideally positioned to catalyze the project's engagement with communities of color in Milwaukee, including outreach to Latino/Hispanic, American Indian, and refugee communities. The health literacy and sustained adherence plans will be created with extensive input from residents and stakeholder organizations.
Health literacy trainings for health care providers will advance Healthy People 2030 objectives HC/HIT-01, HC/HIT-02, and HC/HIT-03, and improve adherence to COVID-19 public health practices. The "reach" of health literacy best practices will be significantly increased in Milwaukee through three project elements: training and deploying at least 16 community health workers, disseminating health literacy toolkits to organizations across Milwaukee, and re-granting funds to local community-based organizations and health centers based on their plans to assess and significantly increase their health literacy best practices related to COVID's racial disparities.
Work will be supported by culturally specific public awareness campaigns to increase access to accurate, actionable information. The project seeks to increase COVID-19 testing, contact tracing, and vaccination among the target population, while increasing community access to high-quality health literacy information and practices.
Implementation will be supported by the Plan-Do-Study-Act quality improvement model, as led by the project evaluation team. Partners from Milwaukee County will strengthen collaboration with community-based organizations, in addition to contributing data from their COVID dashboard to overall program monitoring.
