Dinámica 1) Your name
2) Where you work and your position
3) What are the social determinants (SDOH) of health in the communities you serve? How do you address them?

Social Determinants of Health
The conditions in which a people are born, grow, live, and work in that affect their health. • Income • Housing • Access to healthy foods • Neighborhood • Social support
![Page 5: Using Participatory Research Methods to Identify and ... · The Instinto Maternal Program Goal: Expand on successful breastfeeding practices in migrant camps in Florida, Michigan,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd92a87afc47a4f1670f7b3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Session Objectives 1. Define the Positive Deviance approach.
2. Understand how Promotores(as) de Salud/Community Health Workers can participate in participatory research and the program development process.
3. Apply methods and strategies from the Positive Deviance approach and CHW model to develop community-based programs that directly respond to social determinants of health.

Positive Deviance Approach
![Page 7: Using Participatory Research Methods to Identify and ... · The Instinto Maternal Program Goal: Expand on successful breastfeeding practices in migrant camps in Florida, Michigan,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd92a87afc47a4f1670f7b3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Positive Deviance is the idea that every community has individuals who are
successfully engaging in target health behaviors. Once identified, their
strategies can be promoted to help others in their community.

Leadership (makes
decisions)
Middle Management (implements decisions)
Front Line Workers (tasked with carrying out
decisions)
Approaches to Behavior Change
Identifying Barriers • Generally top-down • Once identified, further
work is required to remove barriers
![Page 9: Using Participatory Research Methods to Identify and ... · The Instinto Maternal Program Goal: Expand on successful breastfeeding practices in migrant camps in Florida, Michigan,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd92a87afc47a4f1670f7b3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Approaches to Behavior Change Positive Deviance • Promotes existing strategies
and behaviors • Community-led, Community-
driven • Feedback and Information
sharing • Respect for community • Addresses SDOH
Leadership (make it happen)
Middle Management (Provide support)
Front Line Workers (from community – experts on what works)

When to Use Positive Deviance
• When the problem is not just technical, but will require social/behavior change
• The problem is complex and no viable solutions have been put forth or succeeded
• When there are positive deviants in the group
• Local leadership commit to the issue

“A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a
trusted member of and/or has an unusually close understanding of the community
served. This trusting relationship enables the CHW to serve as a
liaison/link/intermediary between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve
the quality and cultural competence of service delivery.”

Step 1: Define the Problem • Used existing research:
• Few babies in the United States are breastfed in accordance with global recommendations.
• Only 79% of infants initiate breastfeeding, only 49% continue to 6 months, and 27% complete a full year.
• Promotores(as) helped to develop data collection tools and methods
• Florida team helped translate and refine questions

Step 2: Identify Positive Deviants • Initial definition of a positive deviant was based off of global breastfeeding recommendations
• Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months
• Continued breastfeeding for at least one year
• Questionnaires were administered by Promotores(as)
• Based on feedback from the Promotoras(es), the definition of a positive deviant was modified:
• Breastfeeding past 4 months Exclusive Partial
• Or Exclusive past 2 months
