Use of CHEP model 'facilitated'
By John Becton
A lay advisor approach, which a
medical center outreach program applied
effectively to health education, is now
being used by the City of Durham in a
federally funded housing program.
The concept is the brainchild of Dr.
Eva J. Salber, professor of community
and family medicine, and was the basis
for the Community Health Education
Program (CHEP), conducted for three
years by the Division of Community
Health Models, of which Salber is
director.
"Facilitators," people to whom others
turn for help and advice, were identified
by CHEP and given health education
training.
Now the community models division
has entered into a contract to provide
consultation as the city identifies and
trains "housing facilitators" in three
target areas.
The training sessions, which began
Oct. 18, are covering topics such as the
role of the facilitator, housing laws,
supportive services and community
organization.
The Durham program is one of a
number of adaptions of the CHEP model.
CHEP was established in 1972 as a pilot
program to document that facilitators do
exist and that they can be used etiectively
in disseminating health information to
their communities.
The program gained national and
international attention and has drawn
inquiries from at least 30 states,
including Alaska and Hawaii, and from
Canada, New Zealand, Thailand, South
Africa, Nigeria and West Germany.
The story'of the three-year project is
the subject of a book published this
month by the Department of Community
