Contra Costa (CA) Health Services Report - Community Engagement in Public Health

Download this file

Local public health departments promote overall community health and well-being and address the causes of disease and disability. To achieve these goals, they need to engage diverse communities in developing solutions to pressing problems including chronic diseases, health disparities, and other complex community health issues. Drawing from a decade of experience, this paper presents the Ladder of Community Participation, highlights real life examples of Contra Costa Health Services’ community engagement practices and offers suggestions to help local health departments enhance their own activities.
