25
Process Achievements/LimitationsOutreach partners exceeded their goal for contacts (90 per month); 12,465 women were directly or indirectly reached.
Direct outreach (i.e. street-level) was the most successful
Follow-up procedures were perceived as labor intensive and unrealistic
Each outreach partner adopted their own method of follow-up
Outreach partners found that prescreened women came to expect a high level of interaction with Healthy Start case managers
![Page 26: United Way Success By 6 Liberty City Outreach Initiative](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568139a6550346895da1445d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Process Achievements/Limitations
Forms were changed on several occasions in Year 1 and 2 to adequately document the outreach efforts
At the conclusion of Year 1, the Coalition saw a need to expand the outreach activity zip code to include 33142
Staff turnover
Hurricane 2004-2005
Lack of infrastructure or need for professional and technological capacity building among outreach partners
![Page 27: United Way Success By 6 Liberty City Outreach Initiative](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568139a6550346895da1445d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Conclusions/Lessons Learned
Community based organizations are essential in the provision of services to respective communities.
Outreach partners were committed to the Initiative. Outreach partners feel that lack of adherence to protocol is related to their general concern about how changes will affect the community they serve and their ability to serve .
Target area is socio-economically depressed that it is difficult for the population to focus on, obtain, or heed advice regarding health, pregnancy and outcome.
Overall, the Initiative was successful, increasing awareness and utilization of Healthy Start services.

RecommendationsChanges in documentation should be limited to assure complete, accurate and continuous data and information
Provide technical assistance in infrastructure development and capacity building
Offer educational sessions related to pregnancy, women’s health, infant health and adequate child care
Substantial incentives including grocery gift certificates, infant car seats, diapers, strollers, cribs, baby clothing, etc.
Provide formal structured training to outreach staff to include identification of appropriate outreach sites, capitalizing on activities and events, managing stress and burnout, using different methodologies and settings to increase numbers and participants reached.
