English to Spanish: Your Family, Your Neighborhood - Community Building Curriculum to Improve Health and Educational Outcomes of Low-Income Communities General field: Other Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English Your Family, Your Neighborhood:
Background
Disparities in health and educational outcomes for families living in poverty are well documented (Center for Disease Control, 2011). Health and educational disparities are exacerbated when a family lives in a neighborhood of concentrated disadvantage (Brooks-Gunn, Duncan and Aber, 1997) where health care access is often compromised (Kirby & Kaneda, 2005) and schools often perform well-below national standards (McLoyd, 1998). Low-income families living in communities dominated by subsidized housing are particularly vulnerable to the combined risks associated with living in poverty and living in a neighborhood of concentrated disadvantage. Therefore, programs designed for families living in subsidized housing should be based on empirical evidence of the individual, family, and community level factors that are associated with health and educational disparities. The Your Family, Your Neighborhood curriculum uses knowledge of scientific findings at the individual, family, and community levels to address health and educational outcomes for families living in subsidized housing communities. The structure of the curriculum is designed to increase child-parent bonds and to develop socially cohesive relationships in the community. The practice-based curriculum itself provides children with academic support and provides parents with practical tools to address family health, and engagement and attachment with their child’s school.

Antecedentes
Las disparidades en los resultados educativos y de salud de las familias que viven en la pobreza están bien documentados (Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, 2011). Las desigualdades educativas y de salud se agravan cuando una familia vive en una comunidad donde la desventaja es concentrada (Brooks-Gunn, Duncan y Aber, 1997), donde el acceso a servicios de salud a menudo es puesto en riesgo (Kirby y Kaneda, 2005), donde el desempeño de las escuelas a menudo se encuentra muy por debajo los estándares nacionales (McLoyd, 1998). Las familias de bajos ingresos que viven en comunidades donde la mayoría de las viviendas son subsidiadas son particularmente vulnerables a los riesgos combinados relacionados con vivir en la pobreza y vivir en una comunidad de desventaja concentrada.Por lo tanto, los programas diseñados para familias que viven en viviendas subsidiadas deben basarse en evidencia empírica de los factores a nivel individual, familiar y comunitario que estén asociados con las desigualdades de salud y educativas. El plan de estudios de Su Familia, Su Comunidad utiliza conocimiento de hallazgos científicos a nivel individuo, familia y comunidad, para abordar los resultados de salud y educativos para las familias que viven en comunidades de viviendas subsidiadas.La estructura del currículo está diseñada para reforzar los vínculos entre padres e hijos y desarrollar relaciones socialmente cohesivas en la comunidad. El currículo basado en la práctica le proporciona apoyo académico a los niños, y le brinda herramientas prácticas a los padre para tratar con asuntos relacionados con la salud familiar, y la participación y vinculación con la escuela de sus hijos.
