SUMMARY:Webinar - PASS: Expanding physical activity reporting to incorporate sedentary behaviour and sleep
DESCRIPTION:To better align with current evidence that all forms of movement have an impact on chronic disease prevention\, the Public Health Agency of Canada (the Agency) has broadened the scope of physical activity surveillance to include sedentary behaviour and sleep behaviours\, as well as their risk and protective factors. This webinar will review the process undertaken by the Agency to develop the Physical Activity\, Sedentary Behaviour and Sleep (PASS) Indicator Framework (IF). A goal of the PASS IF was to identify the robust indicators of PASS behaviours at the individual\, family\, community and society levels situated in the environments in which they occur\, including the home\, work\, school\, community\, and transportation. The presentation will include an overview of the Agency’s role in physical activity surveillance in Canada\, including the transition from leisure time physical activity to 24-hour movement reporting\, as well as describe the PASS IF\, from its inception to its future role in surveillance. \nTo register and for more info at: \nhttps://cdpac.webex.com/mw3000/mywebex/default.do?siteurl=cdpac

SUMMARY:Webinar: Acting across sectors - frameworks for moving forward on the social determinants of health
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health  \nFrameworks are often used to visually represent complex ideas or concepts. Numerous frameworks exist to help explain the relationship between the social determinants and health experiences and outcomes. The Canadian Council on the Social Determinants of Health\, a multi sectoral council commissioned a review of existing frameworks to identify those that support action across multiple sectors. \nThe review provides in-depth analysis of the seven frameworks deemed most useful for the purposes of leveraging action across sectors. These frameworks and the accompanying analysis can help shift public health practice towards more intersectoral\, development-oriented upstream approaches. \nThis webinar will: \n\nExplore components of relevant frameworks that support action across sectors\nHighlight the use of selected frameworks in practice and policy settings\nDiscuss future directions for the development and application of frameworks\n\nAdvisors on tap: \n\nConnie Clement\, Scientific Director\, National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health\nJoey Edwardh\, Executive Director\, Community Development Halton\nTrevor Hancock\, Professor and Senior Scholar\, School of Public Health and Social Policy University of Victoria\nSume Ndumbe-Eyoh\, Knowledge Translation Specialist\, National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health\n\nClick here to register. \nResource: Canadian Council on Social Determinants of Health.

SUMMARY:Webinar – What’s the buzz on PrEP? Why public health is listening
DESCRIPTION:What are gay men hearing and saying about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)? How are they making sense of this information? Is it changing their sexual behaviours? What are the implications for public health practice? \n‘Resonance’ is a community-based research project that asked gay men and their service providers what they understood about this new HIV prevention technology and whether it had an impact on their attitudes or behaviours. \nThis webinar\, hosted by CATIE in partnership with the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID)\, will present key findings from this project for public health practitioners. Facilitated discussion will focus on public health implications. Invited discussants will inform the dialogue\, drawing on varied experience from jurisdictions with different policy environments and from roles in guideline development\, HIV prevention research\, or community-based clinics supporting PrEP uptake. All participants are invited to speak to the challenges\, opportunities and potential role for public health in a rapidly changing HIV prevention environment. \nThe webinar is intended for public health program managers working in the area of STBBI/HIV prevention and control or healthy sexuality programming\, as well as frontline public health nurses and physicians. It may be most relevant for those working in urban public health settings. \nAbout the presenter \nSan Patten lives in Halifax\, Nova Scotia where she works as a health research and evaluation consultant. She completed a master’s degree in community health sciences at the University of Calgary. San is an adjunct professor in sociology at Mount Allison University\, teaches at the University of Alberta (School of Public Health) and is a co-investigator of the Centre for HIV Prevention Social Research based at the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:REGISTER NOW - NORTHERN BC CITIZEN SERIES WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Nothing About Us Without Us: Practices and Tools to Build Community Engagement and Participation \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nEngaging community members in the planning and development of healthier communities can be at once the most difficult and most rewarding thing to accomplish. Join us for this session on the promises and perils of community engagement\, practical tools\, approaches and real-life examples from northern communities. \nThe Tale of Three Communities: \nIt wasn’t the best of times but it wasn’t the worst of times either. Three small but fictional communities in Northern BC hosted community engagement events in the fall of 2015. In the first community\, hardly anyone came out and the organizers were frustrated and discourage.In the second community\, many people showed up but they were in a bad mood and used the event to attack the organizers who were surprised and unprepared. In the third community\, the public participation event drew a large and lively crowd\, in spite of a huge snow storm the day before. The event was full of laughter and the ideas and commitments were free-flowing. The organizers were encouraged and further work together was proposed.  What accounts for such dramatic differences in the hosting of a community engagement or public participation activities? \nREAD MORE of the webinar thinkpiece….
