Each cornerstone has at least threestrategies with accompanying action steps recommended by experts and leaders in the field of nutritionand physical activity. Each community can adapt these strategies to fit more closely with their needs.ACCOMPLISHMENTS/RESULTSThe Blueprint has been used in a number of states to create programs and resources intended to improvethe eating and activity patterns of communities. Examples include: better integration of nutrition servicesinto Kansas MCH programs; the development of a community needs assessment in Utah; a SouthCarolina healthy eating and active living issue coalition; in Alabama a comprehensive state wellness plan;and othersBARRIERSMany public health professionals who would benefit from using the Blueprint are not aware that it exists.Outreach to public health professionals is needed to ensure the use of this tool.LESSONS LEARNEDThe Blueprint is an easy to use tool that is well received by public health professionals once they areaware of the resource.

2009 CityMatCH Urban MCH Leadership ConferenceChanges in New Orleans birth outcomes following Hurricane KatrinaPRIMARY CONTACT:Lyn Kieltyka, PhDMCH EpidemiologistLouisiana Office of Public Health1010 Common Street, Suite 2710New Orleans, LA, 70112Phone: (504) 568-3511Fax: (504) 568-3503Email: lyn.kieltyka@la.govCATEGORYPrematurity / Preterm birth / BirthweightInfant mortality and morbidityFOCUSData FocusCO-PRESENTER(S)/AUTHOR(S):Charlotte Parent, cmparent@cityofno.com(Author)BACKGROUNDPrograms targeting pregnant women based on geographically defined high-risk areas, such as HealthyStart New Orleans (HSNO), face unique challenges following massive population disruption, such as thatwhich occurred in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005. While expandedgeographic coverage areas offered HSNO the opportunity to continue to serve pre-existing clients, little isknown about displacement impact in terms of population-based birth outcomes in the originally targetedgeographic areas in the year following the disaster.OBJECTIVESThis study describes differences in New Orleans area birth outcomes, including low birth weight (LBW),preterm birth (PTB), and infant mortality (IM), in 2004 compared to 2006, stratified by HSNO catchmentarea.METHODSLouisiana Vital Records birth and death certificate data from 2004 and 2006 were used to define NOHSpre-hurricane geographic catchment areas (NOHS-CA) using residential zip codes in Orleans Parish.Percentages and rates with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were used to describe differences in birthoutcomes between the two time periods for NOHS-CA and non-catchment areas (non-NOHS-CA)separately. SAS v 9.1 was used for computations, with confidence intervals calculated using SABER(CDC).RESULTSFrom 2004 to 2006, the number of live births to Orleans Parish residents fell from 6,838 to 2,626. NOHS-CA accounted for 4,923 (72.0%) and 1,727 (65.8%) of these births in 2004 and 2006, respectively. From2004 to 2006 in NOHS-CA, LBW fell from 13.8% (95%CI=12.8%,14.8%) to 12.1%(95%CI=10.6%,13.7%), PTB fell from 16.6% (95%CI=15.6%,17.7%) to 14.3% (95%CI=12.7%,16.0%),101
