STEPS Dayton

STEPS Dayton STEPS is a student run, multidisciplinary, preventative health program for underserved communities.

"Students Teaching Educational Plans for Success" is modeled after a health program started in Cincinnati by an interdisciplinary committee. Motivational interviewing, the science of behavior change, and evidence-based preventive strategies form our theoretical foundation. We hope to work in solidarity with the community towards better health. Sessions will be one Saturday a morning every month un

til we convert to weekly sessions. During each session health science students and a faculty member will be doing the following:

1.Screening community members for high blood pressure, obesity, and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
2.Using self-management support and partnerships with local free clinics to improve chronic care outcomes and decrease emergency room visits
3.Using a community-based approach to increase health literacy and nutritional competency.
4.Employing quality improvement principles of effectiveness, efficiency, equity, patient safety, patient-centeredness and timeliness in the clinic
