The Magnolia Place Initiative is a collaboration of faith-based and community groups within a 500-block portion of Los Angeles that crosses Pico Union, West Adams and the North Figueroa Corridor, west of downtown. This project used smartphones to help a group of Magnolia Place residents record images and information from their neighborhoods in ways that may contribute to meaningful change while building community capacity for research. We developed a "Holiday Campaign" around Halloween, which involved taking snapshots and mapping the observations, and created a rating scale for measuring holiday spirit. We also wrote a Spanish-language guide for the project.
What Next: When You are not Funded on the First Round (2020)
Magnolia Place Project
1. Magnolia Community Initiative
Vision: All 35,000 children in the Magnolia catchment area will
break all records of success in their education, health, and the
quality of nurturing care and economic stability they receive
from their families and community.
2. About the Magnolia Community Initiative
• Voluntary network of 70 organizations
• Involves government and regional organizations – including
Los Angeles County Chief Executive Office – to influence
infrastructure that affects many residents, and to facilitate
spread of what works beyond the catchment geography
• Emphasizes sustainable, scalable, evidence-based strategies:
(1) increase access, use and quality of family-desired services, activities,
resources and support;
(2) strengthen social ties among residents; and
(3) improve economic opportunities and development.
• Connects diverse programs and providers (including
physicians, child care and preschools, and mental health) to
shared accountability and a common change process
3. Achieving Population Outcomes
1. Work as a system to achieve population outcomes
2. Use design ideas that increase synergy/alignment of all sectors,
at all levels (policy, practice, families)
3. Increase expectations of, and accountability for, impact for a
population
4. Combine expertise on “what to try” with expertise on “how to
change”
5. Use tests and prototypes to implement
promising ideas that customize to work
consistently, across settings, and under all
conditions
6. Use networks to produce and accelerate
innovation, learning and spread

10. Collaboration with the CTSI – Year 2
Aim 1: Test the impact of several key functions of
partnered infrastructure for translational research, to
increase the volume and breadth of partnered research
activities and funding, and to accelerate the timing of
population impact
• Using MCI Research and Evaluation group to identify
common priority topics, and link researchers and
network partners
• CERP staff support of data visualization for community
residents
• Biostatistics consulting to facilitate impact evaluation
11. Collaboration with the CTSI – Year 2
Aim 2: Identify effective, scalable applications of mobile
health technology that improve population health
•Feasibility pilot with Center for Embedded Networked
Sensing (CENS) to identify effective uses of smartphones for
helping residents describe their neighborhoods and daily
lives in ways that contribute to meaningful action for
neighborhood change
– Offer residents access to Ohmage, which is an open-source,
mobile to web platform that records, analyzes, and visualizes
data from prompted experience samples entered by residents
– “Holiday survey” to develop positive neighborhood asset
measures
– Storytelling narratives about “a day in the life”
