249 Addressing Structural Racism Using Community Based System Dynamics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2023
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: 1. Describe method of Community Based System Dynamics. 2. Describe CBSD as used in addressing structural racism in a previously redlined community. 3. Review example causal loop diagrams and simulation models developed using CBSD focused on structural racism as a social determinant of health. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Community Based System Dynamics (group model building and computer simulation development). Cuyahoga County, Ohio, a previously redlined community of more than 1.2 million people. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS:Actionable Community identified leverage points for action to mitigate structural racism. Computer simulation models built on causal loop diagrams built by Community members with loved experience. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Structural and social determinants of health, such as racism, have profound impacts on the health of individuals and populations, however they remain challenging to address in pragmatic ways. CBSD is a novel method to engage community members not proximal to the impact of structural racism in generating maps of the complex, dynamic system they live in.
