Abstract | The Healthy Aging Partnerships in
Prevention Initiative (HAPPI) is a multisectoral collaboration that aims to
increase use of recommended cancer screening and other clinical preventive
services (CPS) among underserved African American and Latino adults aged 50 and
older in South Los Angeles. HAPPI uses the principles of the evidence-based
model Sickness Prevention Achieved through Regional Collaboration to increase
capacity for the delivery of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening,
as well as influenza and pneumococcal immunizations, and cholesterol screening.
This article describes collaborative
efforts of HAPPI to enhance local capacity by training personnel from community
health centers (CHCs) and community-based organizations (CBOs), implementing a
small grants program, and forming a community advisory council. HAPPI
demonstrates that existing resources in the region can be successfully linked
and leveraged to increase awareness and receipt of CPS:
- Five
CHCs expanded quality improvement efforts and eight CBOs reached 2,730 older
African Americans and Latinos through locally tailored educational programs
that encouraged community-clinic linkages.
- A
community council assumed leadership roles to ensure HAPPI sustainability.
