SUMMARY:Research on Adolescents and Adults: If Not Now\, When?
DESCRIPTION:The 7th National Biennial Conference on Adolescents and Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)\n\nThe 7th National Biennial Conference on Adolescents and Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) \nThe Hyatt Regency\, Vancouver\, BC\, Canada \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. \nThis interactive 2016 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. \nContribute your knowledge and research! The Call for Abstracts is open until September 11\, 2015. More details here:http://interprofessional.ubc.ca/AdultsWithFASD2016/abstract.asp. \nFor more information\, please visit the website at http://interprofessional.ubc.ca/AdultsWithFASD2016. \nEmail marketing.ipce@ubc.ca to get on an enquiry list for updates.

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

DESCRIPTION:The 4th annual weight stigma conference is happening! \nDespite the growth of weight stigma scholarship\, weight-based oppression continues to be dominant within society\, where thinness is privileged and fatness is oppressed. Given the harmful psychological and physiological consequences of weight stigma\, exploring ways to change cultural attitudes and beliefs about body size is\, therefore\, evermore important. This year’s theme focuses on efforts\, opportunities\, and ideas for addressing weight stigma through activism\, education\, and policy. \nThe program is now available and registration is open.
