A chieving Healthier Communities through MAPP: A Users Handbook will assist local public health agencies and their communities in implementing Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP). This user’s handbook incorporates practical guidance, essential worksheets for each phase of MAPP, and tips and suggestions from sites that have gone through the MAPP process. The MAPP Web site supports the user’s handbook, offering in-depth guidance, vignettes on how other users have completed certain phases, and additional references and resources. Due to the diversity of local public health agencies (LPHAs) and their communities, the handbook was not designed to be a step-by-step or “one size fits all” approach to implementing MAPP. This type of approach will not adequately address the needs of each jurisdiction interested in implementing MAPP. Instead, the handbook identifies steps within each phase of MAPP, provides tips and suggestions for completing each phase, and incorporates the most useful worksheets for advancing through the process. In this way, local jurisdictions can tailor their process to meet their own circumstances while adhering to core elements within the tool. A DDITIONAL MAPP RESOURCES • The MAPP Web site (www.naccho.org/project77.cfm) includes guidance, tools, references and resources, and case vignettes. • The MAPP Field Guide is a 24-page booklet that provides an “easyto-read overview of the process and points readers to the website for more information.” May be most useful to persons considering MAPP. • The MAPP video is a promotional tool to engage potential users in the MAPP process.
INTRODUCTION Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) is a strategic approach to community health improvement. This tool helps communities improve health and quality of life through community-wide and community-driven strategic planning. Through MAPP, communities seek to achieve optimal health by identifying and using their resources wisely, taking into account their unique circumstances and needs, and forming effective partnerships for strategic action. MAPP is intended to result in the development and implementation of a communitywide strategic plan for public health improvement. For the plan to be realistically implemented, it must be developed through broad participation by persons who share the commitment to and have a role in the community’s health and overall well-being. It is unlikely that key implementers will adopt the recommendations of a plan for which they had no input. A community’s commitment to implementation of a public health improvement plan will come from the sense of ownership that results from participating in the plan’s development. MAPP focuses on the creation and strengthening of the local public health system — Local public health systems are defined as all entities that contribute to the delivery of public health services within a community. This system includes all public, private, and voluntary entities, as well as individuals and informal associations. MAPP focuses on strengthening the whole system rather than separate pieces, thus bringing together diverse interests to collaboratively determine the most effective way to conduct public health activities. A MAPP initiative without the perspective of the public health system—both its strengths and the areas needing improvement—will lack community consensus on the capabilities of the local public health system to take action to improve community health. The nurturing and development of a strong community consensus regarding the needs of your local public health system can be a springboard to future collective action. MAPP uses the 10 Essential Public Health Services to define public health activities — The 10 Essential Public Health Services and other public health practice concepts have been incorporated into MAPP, providing much-needed links with other public health initiatives such as the National Public Health Performance Standards Program. The 10 Essential Public Health Services provide a useful framework for determining who is responsible for the community’s health and well-being. The services reflect core processes used in public health to promote health and prevent disease. Introduction TO MAPP 3
