Community Oriented Primary Care (COPC) is a model that integrates
public health and primary care to deliver prioritized services to a
defined population. The approach traces its roots to the work of
Sidney and Emily Kark in early 1940s. In 1999, the author enrolled
in a course on COPC and later visited Pholela clinic where COPC
started. She was enlightened when she listened to the experience of
the ladies who started the approach with the Karks. Luckily, she
won the Kark Prize for her study in 2000. This experience inspired
the author to use COPC in her doctoral dissertation. She applied it
to study a sample of Arab migrant women in Cologne where
psychological stress was identified a priority. Quantitative and
qualitative methods were used to implement its six steps: community
definition, community characterization, prioritization, detailed
assessment, intervention and evaluation. This seminal work is the
first to study Arab migrant women in Germany and the first to use
COPC approach in Europe. In 2007, it won the German Society for
Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS) Prize. It can
be used as part of the curricula for medical, nursing and public
health students.
