This document summarizes a meeting to develop cross-sectoral local data collaboration to support Ireland's Healthy Ireland initiative. The goals of Healthy Ireland are outlined, including increasing healthy lives and reducing health inequalities. The Department of Health and Institute of Public Health currently produce some county-level data. The meeting aims to explore how organizations can collectively address local data challenges, build on existing work, and strengthen available community profiles. Attendees are asked to advise on developing a collaboration network and commit to involvement in its development and work program.
This document summarizes discussions from the 6th Conference on HIV prevention, treatment, and policy recommendations. It covers three tracks: 1) progress and challenges in HIV prevention, treatment, and support, 2) evidence-informed behavioral interventions, and 3) social determinants, capacity building, partnerships, and advocacy. Key accomplishments include expanded access to antiretroviral treatment, decreased treatment costs, and increased male involvement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission. However, reduced funding for prevention, high stigma, and non-communicable diseases competing for resources pose challenges. Recommendations include increasing prevention budgets, strengthening health services for all populations, and enhancing community involvement in health planning.
Electronic health (e-health) is an emerging research field that focuses on healthcare based in emerging information and communication technologies. Researchers on e-health have been working on database management systems to store and retrieve electronically the health records, conducting e-referral of the patients, e-transferring of the patient information and helping several other sectors of a hospital management system (e.g. finance, pharmacy, etc.). The presentation will overview the problem of e-Health strategies, emphasizing key principles that decision - makers should follow, so that the selection of activities, technologies and applications for e-health respond to national and international health priorities in the most efficient manner. Evidence – based suicidal scenarios are analyzed using statistical modeling to mine knowledge. Finally the performance of the DSS will be test on some test data.
This document summarizes the results of a scoping survey of organizations that produce local health data profiles and reports in Ireland. It found that while there is some collaboration, most profiles rely on a single organization's own datasets and there is significant variation in formats, targets audiences, and challenges. Common challenges included maintaining and updating data, costs, and differences in geographical boundaries. The survey identified over 60 unique datasets and opportunities for increased collaboration to strengthen health information functions.
The document summarizes Ireland's Healthy Ireland framework, which aims to improve health and wellbeing in Ireland from 2013 to 2025. It finds that while Irish people are living longer, many suffer from preventable chronic diseases due to issues like poor diet, smoking, alcohol misuse and inactivity. If trends continue, the costs will be unsustainable. The framework takes a whole-of-government approach to address social determinants of health outside the health sector. It establishes structures for cross-sectoral collaboration and empowering communities to improve health at all stages of life and reduce inequalities.

Engaging people living with hiv in citizen monitoring in maliDr Lendy Spires
This document summarizes a pilot project in Mali that engaged people living with HIV in monitoring the quality of HIV services. The project aimed to strengthen Mali's national network of people living with HIV (RMAP+) and increase understanding of health services from their perspective. RMAP+ representatives designed and led data collection using a questionnaire to survey members. The results were analyzed and used by RMAP+ to develop advocacy and action plans. Key lessons included that a participatory, PLHIV-led process can produce high-quality results for advocacy and that further support is needed to take the pilot to a national scale.

Weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality and morbidity...Health Evidence™
Health Evidence™ hosted a 60 minute webinar examining the effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Follow this link to access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/olF1bvaofXE
Dr. Alison Avenell, Clinical Chair in Health Services Research, and Sam (Chenhan) Ma, from the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen presented an overview of findings from their latest systematic review and meta-analysis:
Ma C, Avenell A, Bolland M, Hudson J, Stewart F, Robertson C, et al. (2017). Effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: Systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ, 359, j4849.
Adults with obesity have an increased risk of premature mortality, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and many other diseases. This review assesses whether weight loss intervention for adults with obesity affect all cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and body weight. Fifty-four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 30,206 participants were identified in the review. High quality evidence showed that weight loss interventions decrease all cause mortality, with six fewer deaths per 1000 participants. Moderate quality evidence showed an effect on cardiovascular mortality, and very low quality evidence showed an effect on cancer mortality. Weight reducing diets, usually low in fat and saturated fat, with or without exercise advice or programmes, may reduce premature all cause mortality in adults with obesity.
The Women's Justice and Empowerment Initiative (WJEI) was a 3-year program from 2008-2011 that aimed to bolster women's justice and empowerment in 4 countries: Benin, Kenya, South Africa, and Zambia. The initiative had 3 components: raising GBV awareness, providing legal system support, and care/support for survivors. Evaluations found country-specific strengths like strengthened legal frameworks and improved services, but also challenges around sustainability, coordination, and meeting all survivor needs. Key recommendations included better coordination across donor sectors, integrated survivor services, sharing experiences across countries, and improved M&E.

Une grande incertitude découle de l’apparition de nouvelles maladies infectieuses comme la COVID-19, ce qui pose des défis uniques en matière de communication, différents d’autres initiatives de communication en santé. Une communication de crise efficace est essentielle à la promotion des comportements de prévention recommandés (comme la distanciation physique, l’hygiène des mains, le port du masque et la vaccination) et au maintien de la confiance durant la crise. Cette séance présentera un survol des meilleures pratiques en matière de communication de crise en santé publique dans les médias sociaux et abordera leur application concrète durant la COVID-19. D’abord, les meilleures pratiques en ce qui a trait à une communication de crise efficace pour démontrer que l’on est digne de confiance seront présentées. Le guide de communication de crise dans les médias sociaux, largement diffusé et téléchargé, offre des conseils pratiques en matière de santé publique. Par la suite, la communication de crise de Santé publique Ottawa dans les médias sociaux durant la COVID-19 sera examinée pour mettre en évidence les leçons tirées et les principales stratégies utilisées par l’équipe. Le compte Twitter de Santé publique Ottawa est le compte d’une autorité locale de santé publique le plus suivi en Amérique du Nord, et l’excellence de son travail dans les médias sociaux tout au long de la pandémie de COVID-19 a été soulignée par des organisations comme l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada, l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé, la Fondation Rockefeller et plusieurs autres.
High levels of uncertainty result from emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, creating unique communication challenges that are different from other health communication initiatives. Effective crisis communication is essential to promote the recommended prevention behaviors (e.g., physical distancing, hand hygiene, mask-wearing, and vaccination) and to maintain trust during the crisis. The Guidebook for Social Media Crisis Communication has been widely shared and downloaded, providing practical advice for public health. This session will provide an overview of best practices for social media crisis communication for public health and its practical application during COVID-19. First, the best practices for effective crisis communication to demonstrate trustworthiness will be presented. Next, Ottawa Public Health’s social media crisis communication during COVID-19 will be explored to highlight the lessons learned and key strategies the team employs. Ottawa Public Health’s Twitter account is the most-followed local public health account in North America, and their social media work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been lauded for its excellence by organizations like the Public Health Agency of Canada, the World Health Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation and many others.
Presenters:
Dr. Melissa MacKay, University of Guelph - Dr. Melissa MacKay is a postdoctoral scholar and Sessional Instructor for the Master of Public Health program at the University of Guelph. Her research focuses on effective health and crisis communication, with a specific focus on social media.
Kevin Parent, Ottawa Public Health - Kevin Parent has been the social media lead for Ottawa Public Health since 2018. He graduated from Carleton University with a major in Communications and a minor in Sociology. Kevin is perpetually tired due to having 3 young children, and he loves coffee for the same reason.
Cette séance présentera un survol d’une revue exploratoire rapide, réalisée en 2022 par le Centre de collaboration nationale des méthodes et outils (CCNMO) en collaboration avec le Centre de collaboration nationale des maladies infectieuses (CCNMI), sur le rôle de la santé publique en partenariat avec des refuges offrant des services aux personnes en situation d’itinérance. La revue fait état d’exemples de collaborations entre la santé publique et des refuges pour offrir des programmes et des services de santé publique, ou pour soutenir le personnel des refuges relativement à des sujets de santé publique. Le CCNMI a utilisé cette revue dans le cadre d’un Institut explorant les possibilités d’améliorer les communications et les programmes afin qu’ils soient utiles aux clients et au personnel des refuges. Joignez-vous à nous pour en apprendre davantage sur les résultats de cette revue exploratoire rapide et pour discuter des moyens d’accroître la collaboration entre la santé publique et les refuges.

• Identify target populations to
address inequities
Make decision:
• Identify priorities
• Develop policies and programs
• Mobilize all resources available
Involve local people:
• Engage in planning
• Engage in community action
• Engage in evaluation
• Community profile data is
vital in population health
planning, providing evidence
for making decisions that
lead to community action.
• Driven by the local needs.

37. Evaluation: Community Health Data Tools
37
What We
Learned
“The findings from the evaluation indicated that the
tools and resources provide valuable data and
information for local communities, staff training and
the general public.”
• There is opportunity to further improve the tools in
terms of contents and granularity.
• This type of evaluation assessed tangible
outcomes, which is not as challenging as evaluating
complex and ever-changing processes.
39. • We focused on supporting evidence-based decision making in community
health planning that is driven by the needs of local communities across
BC.
• We improved the availability of increasingly detailed local data since
2012.
• We successfully engaged with stakeholders to determine data needs.
• We realize the challenge of disseminating large amounts of data to make
them user-friendly and useful for local needs.
Conclusions
39
40. • The online tool provided insight into how data resources intersect,
supplement and complement other community-specific profiles developed
by Statistics Canada, the MoH and regional health authorities.
• Stakeholders continue to want more detailed local data. The new
Community Health Service Area (CHSA) boundaries will provide more
granular representations of communities for local governments and
primary care networks.
