CAM Integrates…Paulo Freire & Popular Education
CBPR (Participatory Action Research)
Asset Based and Building Community Capacity
Goals
Change in the Environment
Community Driven and Implemented
“People acquire the skills to do it themselves”
…provide a framework for community members to acquire the
skills & resources to investigate the health of the place they live & then plan,
implement & evaluate “actions” that change the environment to promote
& improve health.
“Go in search of your people; love them; learn from them; plan with
them; serve them; begin with what they have; build on what they know. But of the best health educators, when their task is accomplished and their work is done,
the people all remark: WE HAVE DONE IT OURSELVES”
Ancient Chinese Verse

Q: Before they are sold, how many
consumer productsafety regulations do
guns have to meet to make sure
they are safe?
A: 00 (zerozero)
The TRUTH about the Second Amendment
The Supreme Court has ruled in every case, that the 2nd amendment does NOT protect the right of an individual to bear arms.
To comply with the law, drivers have to have a license and car registration. Gun owners need to have neither.
“Codes”
Naming the Issue
(Discussion Sheet)
1. What do you see in the picture? (name 3 or 4
thing you see)
2 List 2 problems that you see in the picture.
3. Name 1 thing in this picture that affects your
community (or happens in your community).
4. 4. Name at least 1 root cause of the problems
that you see in the picture.
5. 5. Name 1 solution that we can do here about
these problems.
Fundamental to this model……is a critical analysis that identifies the underlying social, economic, and environmental forces creating the health and social inequalities that the community wants to address….in context of the global economic structures that creates this inequality.
The Global Tobacco Problem
•Worldwide, 5 Million people per year die from tobacco related diseases; By 2030, that number will increase to 10 million deaths a year; 80% of the world’s smokers live in the global south;
•2/3rds of Philip Morris’ tobacco company sales and nearly half of their profits come from overseas;
TNT’s poison farmworkers, devastate the environment and use land that could feed 20 million people.
They advertise, smuggle, lobby governments and use trade agreements & institutions (WTO, NAFTA) to stop
tobacco control laws and sell tobacco.
The Global Economy for Everyone
Who Wins?
Who Loses?
Locally… Globally…

Mostly families with children, cases of asthma ….and SHS drifts…..

24% were able to buy them in stores (twice the rate for Kools).
Bidis contain tobacco and cause cancer and other health problems..
70% of bidis purchased had no warning labels.
Toxic Site50% of children playing in the park had crossed into the toxic site thru a broken fence;
