DIVERSITY NETWORK COMMITTEE INVITED SYMPOSIUM
Wednesday, July 22, 2020, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Place-Based Approaches for Health Equity Among Members of Marginalized Groups: Weighing Reach, Adoption, Effectiveness, and Scalability
Chair: Felipe Gonzelez Castro, PhD, MSW, Arizona State University
Presenters:
Micere Keels, PhD, University of Chicago
Liliane Cambraia Windsor, PhD, MSW, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Russell E. Glasgow, PhD, University of Colorado, School of Medicine
Place-based interventions address contextual factors that impact social determinants of health in order to promote health equity. Addressing contextual factors may reduce risk factors that exacerbate disparities and enhance promotive and protective factors to influence health and health behaviors. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss place-based interventions as a strategy to improve prevention science among members of marginalized or underrepresented groups. Three experts will present the process and outcomes of their place-based prevention programs that focus on promoting health equity among members of racial and ethnic minority groups, sexual and gender minority groups, and religious minority groups. The discussion will focus on weighing considerations related to the development and adaptation of preventive interventions for specific groups, including tensions between responsiveness and scalability/generalizability, tensions between adaptation/community ownership and fidelity, and considerations such as cultural imperialism and ethics. The discussion will be informed by the RE-AIM model (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance).
Dr. Micere Keels will present Combining MOST and CBPR to build sustainable, efficient, and effective community based interventions; Dr. Liliane Cambraia Windsor will present Combining MOST and CBPR to build sustainable, efficient, and effective community based interventions and Dr. Russell E. Glasgow will present Implications of and Opportunities Suggested by the RE-AIM Framework for Place-Based Approaches to Increase Health Equity.
Felipe González Castro, PhD, MSW
Felipe González Castro is Professor and Southwest Borderlands Scholar in the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation at Arizona State University. He is a bilingual/bicultural Hispanic/Latino clinical psychologist with a research focus on health psychology. Dr. Castro is the originator of the Integrative Mixed Methods (IMM) methodology, a rigorous approach for conducting culturally-rich health science research. Dr. Castro has served as the PI on several research studies, including studies supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Cancer Institute, and recently from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In 2002 he was conferred a Fellow of Division 45 of the American Psychological Association. The Society for Prevention Research (SPR) awarded him the Community, Culture and Prevention Science Award in 2005, and the Service to SPR Award in 2019. He served as President of the Society for Prevention Research from 2013 to 2015. In 2017 he served as the editor of a special issue of the journal, Prevention Science on “Challenges to the Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-Based Prevention Interventions for Diverse Populations.”
Micere Keels, PhD
Micere Keels is an Associate Professor in the department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on understanding how sociodemographic characteristics (race-ethnicity and poverty, in particular) structure the supports and challenges that individuals experience. She is particularly invested in developing systems-change interventions. She is currently leading two projects that work to improve the educational experiences and outcomes of students from historically marginalized communities. She is the founding director of the Trauma Responsive Educational Practices Project, which is a research-translation and research-practice-partnership that aims to connect the brain and behavior research on developmental trauma with the realities of school and classroom management. She has been tracking a cohort of over 500 Black and Latinx students who entered college in 2013 to advance our understanding of postsecondary persistence. Some of the findings from this project are published in her book on Campus Counterspaces.

Russell E. Glasgow, PhD
Dr. Glasgow is Research Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Colorado and Director of the Dissemination and Implementation Science (D&I) Program at the Adult and Child Consortium for Outcomes Research and Delivery Science (ACCORDS). He was formerly Deputy Director for Implementation Science at the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Glasgow has extensive experience developing and applying the RE-AIM framework, its PRISM extension, and related pragmatic methods and measures for enhancing the reach, adoption, adaptation and sustainability of evidence based programs. He focuses on the planning and evaluation of disease prevention and management programs intended to have population impact. Dr. Glasgow has over 450 peer-reviewed publications, is listed among the top 1% of the most frequently cited authors in the social sciences, and has been the PI on 25 NIH or AHRQ grants.
Dr. Glasgow has a long history of working on transdisciplinary research teams and training researchers, including mentorship in implementation science. He has been a primary developer of multiple training programs in D&I science locally and nationally, and currently directs the University of Colorado NHLBI-funded K12 IMPACT (IMPlementation to Achieve Clinical Transformation) Career Development Training program in D&I science.
