Using the prevention impacts simulation model to estimate long-term impacts of multisector community partnerships' efforts to address social determinants of health
Honeycutt, A. A., Yarnoff, B., Tayebali, Z., Glasgow, L., & Hacker, K. (2023). Using the prevention impacts simulation model to estimate long-term impacts of multisector community partnerships' efforts to address social determinants of health. Preventing chronic disease, 20, E62. Article 220327. https://doi.org/10.5888/pcd20.220327
Public health plays a key role in addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) through multisector community partnerships (MCPs), which contribute to community changes that promote healthy living; however, little is known about the longer-term impact of MCP-driven interventions. We used the Prevention Impacts Simulation Model (PRISM) in a rapid evaluation to better understand the implementation and potential impact of MCPs' SDOH initiatives. Results suggest that, if sustained, initiatives implemented by the 27 included MCPs may prevent 880 premature deaths and avert $125.7 million in medical costs over 20 years. As a validated model that estimates impact by using available implementation data, PRISM is a useful tool for evaluating SDOH initiatives.
