The Mississippi Community College Council (MCCB) is committed to promoting an environment of excellence to ensure first-class education and job training for a more prosperous Mississippi. Over the years, much has been explored, developed, and discussed about ways to effectively involve communities in health services. It is widely accepted that engaging communities can have a positive impact on social capital, leading to greater community empowerment and improved health outcomes. However, there are still many challenges to successful implementation. Research on community participation has largely focused on low- and middle-income countries, despite evidence of its universal usefulness in improving health.
To address this gap, this systematic review aims to examine the evidence on community participation and participation based on studies that report on program outcomes in high-income and upper-middle income countries. This is in line with the idea that participatory approaches and positive outcomes, such as community empowerment and health improvements, do not occur in a linear way, but instead consist of complex processes influenced by a series of social and cultural factors. The MCCB offers adult education (AE) through a variety of physical locations, including 15 community colleges, four public schools, a community organization, and all correctional centers. Through this hierarchy, both members of the organization and the community can report on their perspectives on the process or the results and can feel empowered on a personal or community level. The Mississippi Urban Forestry Council and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality have partnered to create a new program that will help you and your community.
Attendees come from communities of all sizes, from small rural towns to neighborhood business districts in larger cities in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. This review explores reported results on community participation and participation and presents a conceptual model for framing these results, starting with a base of process outcomes and community outcomes, as needed to achieve strong health outcomes, while recognizing the influence of stakeholder perspectives and empowerment. Higher education programs administered through the MCCB are designed to provide opportunities that improve the skills and abilities of people preparing for the workforce or for additional educational activities. The results were classified as process outcomes, community outcomes, health outcomes, empowerment, and stakeholder perspectives. The Mississippi Works Career-Tech Scholarship Program was established to serve as a state-assisted tuition scholarship program for eligible community college students, by providing financial assistance for tuition to those who enroll in the approved Professional and Technical Education Certificate and Associate Degree in Applied Science programs identified through sectoral analysis to meet the state's labor demands. Sponsored by the Mississippi Economic Council (MEC) and the State Chamber of Commerce, Mississippi Scholars is a program that encourages high school students to pursue a more rigorous course of study, including courses focused on STEM, to prepare for success in the college courses or technical training needed to compete in the 21st century labor market. Empowerment was the least reported in all categories of study; of 6 studies, 4 were in the community health category.
