Midwest Stream Forum 2017 - Intensive Educational Sessions

7/25/2017

 

Join us at the Midwest Stream Forum in  Grand Rapids, MI on Monday afternoon,  September 18th, for some great intensive educational sessions!  

Picture
Is your health center ready to train staff on the topic of the opioid epidemic? Our session on the opioid crisis will give you key issues in prevention, treatment, and the science behind it. You will also be introduced to a toolkit that will provide best practices in planning and implementing your substance abuse services. 

If your health center needs some assistance in developing a strategy to increase access to care for the Ag Worker population, then don't miss the intensive on developing a migrant-health action plan. 

Rounding out the afternoon is an informative session on Diabetes for both managers and front line staff. First learn how your health center can learn about national diabetes programs that are providing quality services and steps for implementation; then take part in an interactive session that will help participants understand the self-care behaviors recommended for optimal management of diabetes.

All of these sessions are included with your registration, so don't miss out!

Engaging MSAWs in Healthcare Research - Your Opinion Matters!

7/6/2017

 
Picture
The University of Kansas, with support from the Patient Centered Outcome Research Institute (PCORI), and in partnership with several organizations including the National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH), is leading the Midwest Stream Engaging Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers in Healthcare Research project. The Project’s aim is to increase the knowledge base available regarding farmworkers’ (agricultural workers’) preferences and needs related to healthcare decisions, as well as effective methods of engagement, and using that information to guide practice and research. 
 
Short-term objectives include the following:
  • Review existing literature
  • Gather information on farmworkers’ needs, preferences, and desired health outcomes by directly engaging them and other key stakeholders
  • Utilize project information to begin developing a person-driven research agenda that can support PCOR
  • Reflect and document the team’s process of engaging migratory farmworkers (agricultural workers)
 
The project team’s long-term objective is: 
  • To increase the amount of research conducted with farmworkers as partners, and that focuses on needs and preferences that they identify.
 
NCFH invites you to participate by answering the Stakeholder or Service Provider survey by August 7, 2017. Both surveys are available in English and in Spanish and links are provided below.
 
Thanks a million for your participation! - Hilda Ochoa Bogue, NCFH
Your opinion matters!
 
Staff at The University of Kansas School of Social Welfare are interested in learning more about migrant and seasonal crop/orchard farmworkers’ health. As a first step, we are asking individuals who are key stakeholders or provide direct care to farmworkers to complete a short survey. What encourages farmworkers to seek health care? What helps them get the health care they need? What makes it harder? In what areas is research needed?
 
We need your help! To participate in an anonymous survey or to learn more, choose the link that is best for you:
