Southeastern Virtual Institute for Health Equity and Wellness (SEVIEW)

Abstract

SEVIEW Phase I, its Co-investigators and Administrative Core has completed Year 5 (NCE) of 14 community-based research and service outreach programs. The 6 additional programs under SEVIEW Phase II are nearing the end of Year 4 (NCE) operation. The purpose of SEVIEW is to discover and deliver innovative health care and community capacity building solutions for underserved populations. An additional targeted outcome is to reduce the rejection rate as well as improve the enlistment opportunities and tenure of active duty military personnel. The Administrative Core delivered operations, infrastructure access, strategic consultation, and quality process support to ensure proper directions, logistics, financial transactions, regulatory compliance, collaborative exchange, community-capacity building, and alignments with the goals of programmatic synergies and streamlining administrative processes and to foster strategic partnerships and programs to address the burden of health disparities. SEVIEWs community-based research and service initiatives are aligned under three program categories addressing (1) Education, (2) Preventive Medicine, Health and Wellness, and (3) Community Partnerships and Outreach. Over 20,000 participants took part in the various activities and services offered by the projects. Synergies and relationships were developed between co-investigators, staff, and community leaders resulting in sustainability of research and healthcare activities. A thorough evaluation process was completed, inclusive of an evaluation logic model to identify SEVIEW success objectives, using qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a comprehensive assessment of the program implementation and outcomes. The projects overwhelmingly report that stated goals were achieved and any goals that were not achieved were due to minor issues.
