PB96143052

Publication Date	1995
Page Count	296
Abstract	The Planned Approach to Community Health (PATCH) is a community health planning model that was developed in the mid-1980s by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in partnership with state and local health departments and community groups. This concept guide is part of a variety of materials designed to help a local coordinator facilitate the PATCH process within a community. These materials provide 'how-to' information on the process and on things to consider when adapting the process for your community. PATCH is a process that many communities use to plan, conduct, and evaluate health promotion and disease prevention programs. The PATCH process helps a community establish a health promotion team, collect and use local data, set health priorities, and design and evaluate interventions. Adaptable to a variety of situations, it can be used when a community wants to identify and address priority health problems or when the health priority or special population to be addressed has already been selected.
