Key Cultural Values
Western Cultures
1) Independence (go it
alone)
2) Individualism (be
unique)
3) Competition (go for
the gold)
4) Involvement (them
and us thinking)
(Hantiuk and Gebretensae 2005)
Eastern Cultures
1) Interdependence (all
together)
2) Collectivism (blend
in)
3) Collaboration (team
first)
4) Partnership (we and
ours thinking)
Gallup Survey (1993)
1. 94% feel responsibility to speak up to a
friend or loved one about an unhealthy
behavior
2. Only 38% felt comfortable or confident
Reluctance is cultural!
• “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say
anything at all.”
• “Judge not lest be judged.”
• “What if I make a mistake and say
something wrong.”
• “I do not want to get involved in someone’s
personal business.”
• “If you live in a glass house…”
More than Quitting…Processes of
change for the smoker
1) Consciousness-raising
2) Social Liberation
3) Emotional arousal
4) Self re-evaluation
5) Commitment
6) Countering
7) Environmental control
8) Reward
9) Helping relationship
(Prochaska, James O. 1994—Stages of
Change/Transtheoretical Model)
Pieces of Child Development
1. Physical
2. Emotional
3. Social
4. Language
5. Cognitive
(not either/or—school
is part of child
development)
Overarching Goals
1. Improve the health of the public
2. Reduce disparities
3. Transform the Public Health System
Keys to Successful Change
• Empathy, communication, participation
• Communication means more than “telling.”
It means “creating understanding.”
(Managing Change Effectively: Kirkpatrick, 2001)
THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM
Community
Governmental
Public Health
Infrastructure
Health Care
Delivery
System
Assuring the
Conditions for
Population
Health
Academia
Employers
And Business
The Media
Inter-sectoral engagement in partnership with government. (Institute of Medicine-2003; The Future of the Public’s Health
in the 21st Century)
Model = Capacity
• Holistic (everyone has a role)
• Ecological (all interrelated and interdependent—
no silos)
• Natural Systems (sustainability)
• Developmental
• Proactive
– “upstream perspective”
– “Giving the work back to the people”
– Approach is positive (not deficit focused)
• Individual still matters!
– Choice is informed
From Benjamin Franklin and
Stephen Covey
Franklin:
“Teach me and I will forget;
show me and I may remember;
involve me and I will learn.”
Covey:
Involvement plus patience = Commitment
An opportunity for …
– sharing experiences and problems
(successes and “failures”)
– interactive learning from each other
(synergy/feedback)
– building trust (removing fear) and competence
for enhanced capacity (self-efficacy)
– Integrating the work of the Public Health
System into other systems (involvement)
Public Health versus Tobacco
• We represent the
people.
• We advocate, treat,
promote, prevent
• We offer life, liberty,
pursuit of happiness.
• They represent ? (the
shareholder).
• They addict the poor,
young, less educated,
ethnic/minorities
• They offer human
suffering, disability,
and death.
My Perspective/Relationships
Getting Organized…
• River Falls Community Partnership For Youth
• Pierce-St. Croix Tobacco Free Coalition
• Pierce County Healthy Eating and Active Living
Coalition
• Pierce-St. Croix County Medical Society
• Health and Human Services Board Committee-St.
Croix County

Household Contamination
• Vapor phase
– Components deposit/are absorbed onto walls,
furniture, clothes, toys within minutes
– Re-emitted into air over hours to months
• Particulate phase
– May deposit on surfaces within hours and re-suspend
– Contaminates house dust, carpet, furniture for weeks
and months
• Nicotine
(Matt, 2004)
(Wisconsin Tobacco Facts 2004)
Support for new smoking bans
• 74% favored smoking bans
• 80% “go out” as often—or more often
• 13% drove at least once to other
communities to smoke in bars and
restaurants
• Most people consider secondhand smoke
a health hazard
(MPAAT, 2005)
Take control of your health…
2/3rds of cancer deaths prevented by:
• Not using tobacco products
• Maintaining a healthy body weight
• Getting plenty of physical activity
• Eating healthy food
• Avoiding the midday sun and protecting
skin with a hat, shirt, and sunscreen
(American Cancer Society 2005)
Conclusions
1. Tobacco control is the work of Public Health.
2. New Institute of Medicine’s Model includes
everyone as members of the Public Health
System .
3. Our cultural values are a barrier to a healthier
population.
4. Broader understanding of successful child
development equals public health.
5. Opportunities for improving population health
are everywhere!
