The Community Compass Project: A Community Engagement Model Targeting African-Americans in the Low Country of South Carolina.
Despite cutting edge progress in early detection, risk reduction, and prevention, unique contextual and sociocultural factors contribute to higher mortality rates for selected cancers in African-American men and women. Collaborative community engagement and outreach programming strategies that focus on sustainability and grass-roots organizing can inform health risk disparities, build trust, and allow communities to take ownership of their own health needs. This paper describes a successful evidence-based community engagement intervention woven into the social and interpersonal fabric of the African-American community in Charleston, South Carolina. Through the creation of a coalition of community partners that included the state's only National Cancer Institute designated cancer center, collaboratively developed platforms devoted to population-specific preventive interventions for cancer and obesity education, awareness, and research initiatives were implemented within the identified community.
