SUMMARY:Webinar: Actionable Ways to Address Anti-Black Racism & Police Violence through Public Health Practice
DESCRIPTION:The ubiquitous anti-Black racism within law enforcement has led to the loss of many innocent Black lives at the hands of police officers. Andrew Loku\, Trayvon Martin\, Eric Garner\, Michael Brown\, Tamir Rice\, Sandra Bland\, Breonna Taylor\, Regis Korchinski-Paquet and George Floyd are among the many Black lives that were taken too soon. These lives are but a fraction of the toll of persistent structural violence that impedes and threatens Black life. \nThis webinar will place anti-Black police violence in context of ongoing anti-Black racism. \nSpeakers from within the Black health and legal community will discuss the impact of state-sponsored violence on health and provide an opportunity to discuss actionable ways to address anti-Black police brutality and violence in the Canadian public health community. \nThe webinar will create the space to have discussions that focus on how public health institutions and the community as a whole should address anti-Black police violence through public health practice. \nParticipants in this webinar will learn about:\n\nthe impact of anti-Black racism and anti-Blackness on health;\nanti-Black racism and police violence in the Canadian context; and\na public and population health response to anti-Black police violence.

SUMMARY:Vitamin D in Pregnancy: New Insights for Canadian Women - ONLINE LECTURE
DESCRIPTION:Canadian Nutrition Society\nVitamin D in Pregnancy: New Insights for Canadian Women\n2020 PhD Dissertation Award Lecture\nThursday\, May 28\, 2020\n9:00AM – 10:00AM PT\nTo register\, CLICK HERE\n  \n  \nSpeaker: Maude Perreault\, RD\, PhD\, McMaster University \nModerator: Stephanie A. Atkinson\, PhD\, DSc (Hon)\, FCAHS Professor\, McMaster University \nMaternal vitamin D status plays a major role in placental development\, and several aspects of “fetal programming”. Globally\, vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy is widely reported\, and has been associated with sub-optimal bone accretion and other adverse health outcomes in both mother and offspring. Our research aimed to assess maternal determinants of vitamin D status at different trimesters during pregnancy and how status impacts maternal and fetal bone metabolism. These findings\, along with detailed assessment of maternal habitual dietary intake throughout pregnancy\, provided a detailed profile of vitamin D status in relation to bone health in pregnant Canadian women. \n  \n  \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Understand the role of physiological adaptations in vitamin D during pregnancy in maternal and fetal bone metabolism \n2. Provide new evidence on the determinants of vitamin D status in pregnant women in southern Ontario over the last decade \n3. Discuss how the results of this research address commonly asked questions by health care providers and pregnant women. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Maude Perreault completed a BSc in Nutrition at the Université de Montréal\, and became a registered dietitian in Québec in 2010 and in 2011\, qualified as a registered dietitian in Ontario. Following completion of a MSc in the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph\, she completed her PhD in Medical Sciences\, Division of Metabolism and Nutrition at McMaster University under the supervision of Dr. Stephanie Atkinson in the Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Perreault’s clinical and research interests include maternal and infant nutrition\, with a focus on the developmental origins of health and disease. Her doctoral studies were supported by prestigious scholarships such as the CIHR Vanier doctoral award and a Career Enhancement Award from the Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientists Program. While at McMaster her academic and research achievements have been recognized with awards such as the Joanne Schweitzer Clinical Nutrition Abstract award and the Nestlé Nutrition Student and Trainee oral competition finalist award from the Canadian Nutrition Society (May 2018)\, as well as the Graduate Program’s Excellence award (May 2017) and the Graduate Leadership award (May 2019) from the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. \nTo register\, CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Buildings\, Occupants and the Changing Environment - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Buildings\, Occupants and the Changing Environment\nNational Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health\n  \nPresenter: Dr. Karen Bartlett\, School of Population and Public Health\, University of British Columbia \n  \n  \nOccupants of buildings depend on what we term “good” Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). The actual definition of IEQ is somewhat elusive\, as it is the absence of problems in the indoor environment which could detract from the health and productivity of occupants. Buildings need to be designed and built with the occupant in mind\, and as we rapidly progress into sustainable building designs\, we also need to make sure that buildings can accommodate the changing environments of our cities and climate. We will explore some of the facets of the occupant/building interface in these changing environments. \n

SUMMARY:Don’t Let Them Down: Understanding Youth Vaping and What We Can Do About It - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Let Them Down\nUnderstanding Youth Vaping and What We Can Do About It \n   \n  \n  \nPublic Health researcher\, Dr. David Hammond found that vaping increased by a stunning 74% among 16-19 year olds from 2017 to 2018; and with that cigarette smoking increased by 45% in the same period. \n  \n  \nPlease join the BC Alliance for Healthy Living on Thursday\, April 23rd\, 2020 from 9:00am- 10:30am for our webinar highlighting some new programs and other work by leading organizations to address the youth vaping epidemic in BC.  \n  \n  \nThere is much we have yet to understand about vaping. What are the long term effects of inhaling e-juice ingredients such as glycerine and propylene glycol?  How do flavours influence addiction?  Why do youth vape? What are the psycho-social factors we need to consider? \n  \n  \nRecent media coverage reporting on lung failure and other health complications related to vaping underscore our nascent understanding of the health risks inherent in these relatively new electronic nicotine devices. But one thing we know for sure are the effects of nicotine. Nicotine is harmful to healthy adolescent brain development and there has been a startling rise in nicotine usage and addiction among youth due to vaping. \n  \n  \nJoin us as we take a long look at vaping in BC to see what we can learn about the important work being done right here in our province: from youth surveys and research\, to educational campaigns and policy development.   \n  \n  \nRegister here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4123751751391374348 \n\nSPEAKER PROFILES:\n BC Lung Association: \nChristopher Lam is the President and CEO of the British Columbia Lung Association. His work includes initiatives on a provincial vaping strategy\, including programming and policy development. Chris is also spearheading the first Asthma Education Centre for Children as well as a provincial Lung Health Network\, providing patients with an advocacy voice. He has a two-year-old son who loves being outdoors\, exploring and just getting dirty. \n \nMcCreary Centre Society:  \nAnnie Smith has been the Executive Director of McCreary Centre Society (McCreary) since 2006. McCreary is a non-governmental not-for-profit committed to improving the health of BC youth through research\, evaluation and community based projects.  Annie has conducted a number of recent research projects about youth and vaping and is currently working on a full-length community friendly report about tobacco use and vaping among BC adolescents. \n Art Steinmann is the Manager of the Supporting and Connecting Youth (SACY)- Substance Use Health Promotion Initiative Program at the Vancouver School Board (VSB). This initiative\, now in its 15th year\, engages parents\, teachers\, students\, administrators and the greater community to strengthen school-based alcohol and drug prevention and early-intervention programs and policies.  Vaping education is a part of this work and Art will speak about what is happening in school(s)\, policies and programs in place and how vaping is impacting youth. Previous to working at VSB\, Art worked as a private consultant and prior to that was Executive Director of a substance use prevention non-profit organization for 18 years. Art enjoys many activities in beautiful Vancouver with his wife and family.

SUMMARY:9th International Research Conference on Adolescents and Adults with FASD - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:The 9th International Research Conference on Adolescents and Adults with FASD:\nReview\, Respond and Relate – Integrating Research\, Policy and Practice Around the World\nApril 22-25\, 2020\nThe Hyatt Regency\nVancouver\, BC\, Canada\n  \n  \nAlthough there have been thousands of published articles in FASD in general\, there has been limited research specifically on adolescents and adults with FASD or on individuals across the lifespan. As those individuals diagnosed with FASD continue to age\, the “need to know” across a broad spectrum of areas is becoming critically important for identifying clinically relevant research questions and directions. \n  \n  \nThis interactive 2020 conference will provide an opportunity to be at the forefront of addressing these issues. We will welcome a diverse group of professionals\, researchers\, students\, families and individuals with FASD. \n  \n  \nThe Call for Abstracts is now open\, deadline: September 13\, 2019: http://interprofessional.ubc.ca/initiatives/fasd2020/call-for-abstracts/ \n  \n  \n  \nFor more information\, please visit the website at http://interprofessional.ubc.ca/initiatives/fasd2020/\, and follow us on Twitter: @IPCE_UBC. Email marketing.ipce@ubc.ca to get on an enquiry list for updates.

SUMMARY:Learning for Planetary Health: Early Lessons from a Pandemic - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Learning for Planetary Health:\nEarly Lessons from a Pandemic \nWednesday\, April 15th\, 2020 from\n12:30-2:00pm Pacific Daylight Time\n  \n  \nAs we face one of the greatest challenges for public health in several generations with the COVID-19 pandemic\, we also have an unprecedented opportunity as governments and citizens prepare for a post-COVID future that we hope will not be simply restoring everything to the way it was.  The pandemic has been described as climate change at warp speed. But the response to this “greatest challenge” has been quite different. Since this is such a ripe opportunity for learning\, we (several eco-health colleagues and others) are organizing a couple webinars with perhaps more if there’s demand. We will begin by exploring the origins of the outbreak with lessons from the animal-human interface. We will then learn from previous economic collapses and what these lessons teach us about the coming weeks and months as we emerge from the current wave of disease and economic devastation to become a healthier planet than we were before the current pandemic. We will explore the relationships and resources needed for a recovery that makes us stronger and better able to face the challenges to planetary health that are even more critical than the COVID-19 pandemic\, but that appear less imminent to society. Our primary goal is to articulate a shared vision of this future where society bounces back but bounces back to a better place than our pre-pandemic world. \nModerator: Chris Buse\, Centre for Environmental Assessment Research\, UBC \nOur contributors will be: \n\nMira Ziolo\, Consulting Veterinarian at Wildlife Rescue Association of BC\, PhD Student\, UBC Interdisciplinary PhD student\nTim Takaro\, Professor\, Faculty of Health Sciences\, Simon Fraser University\nTrevor Hancock\, Retired Professor and Senior Scholar\, School of Public Health and Social Policy\, University of Victoria\n\n  \nYou can REGISTER for this webalogue by clicking HERE
