Community Development Model for Public Health Applications: Overview of a
Model to Eliminate Population Disparities by Robert G. Robinson,
     Health Promot Pract 2005;6 338-346
http://hpp.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/6/3/338?etoc
     For well over two decades, the public health community has undertaken
a broad range of initiatives to identify and eliminate various
health-related disparities among populations. [snip] However,
traditional public health approaches that are overly influenced by
reductionist paradigms more content with risk factor assessment of
at-risk strata may not be sufficient to produce successful results
when applied to more intractable disparities. The elimination of
disparities will require a more encompassing and comprehensive
approach that addresses both population strata at risk and the
communities in which they reside. This article proposes a new,
concentrated model to address the elimination of population
disparities—a model that focuses on community as the critical unit of
analysis and action to achieve success.
