Objective 1 Participants will define a community intervention as distinct from a patient clinical question. Participants describe the elements of the C-SORT methodology

Your patient Shannon, a 19-year-old African American female, visits her local health clinic for her annual STD screening. Shannon is asymptomatic but tests positive for Syphilis. Tests also reveal Shannon is 3-weeks pregnant.

Formulating a Clinical Question Patient or Population 19-year-old African American female with Syphilis and in 1st trimester of pregnancy, no known allergies Intervention Treatment with Penicillin Comparison Alternative treatments Outcome a healthy pregnancy and delivery for mom and baby; prevention of congenital syphilis in baby

Objective 2 Participants describe the elements of the C-SORT methodology

Letter – MeaningAddressesExample C – CommunityThe community in which the physician is immersed. Namely, the group title of those with whom the physician is working. Obesity is a problem throughout the population. Among children and adolescents, the prevalence of obesity is highest among older and Mexican American children and non-Hispanic black girls. The association of income with obesity varies by age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Patients living in the American South C – CharacteristicsSpecific characteristics of the community or patient group. This is the element that requires attention; the need. Access to and availability of healthier foods can help people follow healthful diets. For example, better access to retail venues that sell healthier options may have a positive impact on a persons diet; these venues may be less available in low-income or rural neighborhoods. The places where people eat appear to influence their diet. S-StandardNon clinical standard of care relative to the specific characteristic. Clinical standards are addressed via clinical questions. This standard relates more generally to psychosocial, economic, educational standards answering the question "What works?. Reduce the proportion of children and adolescents who are considered obese Increase the proportion of Americans who have access to a food retail outlet that sells a variety of foods that are encouraged by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans O- OptionsDefines options/opportunities available such as events, resources, or other potential solutions in place to address or bolster the characteristics under investigation. Consider the interaction and interdependence of various factors. Public Health Department, educational resources, local campaigns, CDC, Lets Move R – ResponseOutlines the community physicians desired response to the characteristics under investigation. Describes what he/she will do as a responsive physician to strengthen or ameliorate desired outcomes or community direction. Community presentations on the effects of childhood obesity, billboards, school presentations. Developing website with tools to help providers, parents, children, and entire community with the issue. T – TransformationDiscusses how the physicians actions will transform the community long term into a stronger population. Related to standards as needed. To reduce the prevalence of obesity in Muscogee County and its surrounding community, and to encourage the community as a whole to lead healthier lives. Year 1Year 2Year 4

Was it easy to locate the data? Was the data recently updated? What was the data source? Any other findings from the site? How would this information help you to fulfill the C-SORT Methodology? Did the site link to other resources? What did you like or not like about the site?
