Community Landscape Asset Mapping(CLAM)
• Used as element of assessment phase of planning process
• Developed in Chicago by Lawndale Health Promotion Project and University of Illinois-Chicago School of Public Health
• Input from community residents and other stakeholders
CLAM theory
• Health inequities classified by 4 types of landscapes:– Ecological: air, water, safety – Materialist: presence of resources
such as employment opportunities – Consumption: resources for purchase– Therapeutic: opportunities for
promoting a sense of well-being
CLAM methodology
• 3 surveys to capture the 4 landscapes– Looking Around (census block level)
• Vacant lots, parks, police, gang tags, schools, beauty shops, etc.
– Grocery Shopping• Variety of fresh produce, meats, quality of
foods, presence of tobacco and alcohol, etc.
– Eating Out• Menu options, quality, cleanliness, cost, etc.
CLAM methodology
• Conducted in all five communities• Coalition members adapt as
appropriate• Residents hired and trained• CDPH analyzes data• Coalitions use results to help
identify strategic issues
Results

43 food stores
70% sell tobacco products
37% sell fresh produce
Majority with fresh produce are located in northern half of community
20% of the population must travel ½ mile or more to get to the nearest food store with produce
