Looking at how health research impacts health programming and policy-making in international development, the African Medical and Research Foundation hosted a discussion highlighting some of the themes laid out in this slideshow.
This document discusses knowledge translation (KT), which is defined as a dynamic process of synthesizing, disseminating, exchanging, and applying research knowledge to improve health, health services, and health systems. KT involves interactions between researchers and knowledge users and can vary in complexity. There are two main types of KT: end of grant KT, where researchers disseminate findings to knowledge users; and integrated KT (iKT), where knowledge users and researchers collaborate throughout the entire research process to ensure findings can be applied. The key aspects of iKT are that it is collaborative, participatory, action-oriented, and focuses on solving knowledge users' problems.

The document discusses quality of care in healthcare systems. It finds that patients in the United States and United Kingdom receive only about half of recommended care according to clinical guidelines. Spending more money does not necessarily improve quality of care or outcomes. Healthcare systems must focus on delivering value, defined as quality of care over cost. This requires transforming systems to reliably provide effective, evidence-based, patient-centered care through improved organization and application of knowledge to both individual patients and populations.
Mark Walport (Govt Office for Science) - Innovation, managing risk not avoidi...NHShcs
This document discusses managing risk from innovation rather than avoiding it. It argues that innovation has led to many benefits but also risks that must be addressed. Risk is a societal issue that requires open discussion of how benefits and risks are distributed. Specific innovations need to be discussed rather than general technologies. Science can help by providing evidence but many issues involve both science and human values. Effective management of risk from innovation requires addressing these complex issues.

The department is working to create a scalable and replicable diabetes-focused Learning Health System within the University of Michigan Health System through engaging stakeholders across the university and convening symposia. The goal is to establish learning cycles and a supporting platform that enables efficient continuous learning and improvement.
Knowledge mobilization (KMb) is the process of sharing research findings with potential users, including policymakers and practitioners, to enhance social innovation. KMb allows researchers to collaborate with partners outside of academia to apply findings from university research. York University's KMb unit supports over 150 KMb projects through services like knowledge brokers and clear language research summaries. These projects help translate findings into programs and policies to address issues like climate change, youth homelessness, and economic development. Training opportunities exist to help researchers effectively engage non-academic audiences and integrate knowledge mobilization throughout the research process.
The document outlines plans to develop an EU-wide database on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) to facilitate multi-site clinical research and standardized data collection. The database would allow researchers to combine data between groups and countries over time to study PWS across the lifespan, test hypotheses, and conduct longitudinal and cross-cultural studies. Key considerations include the database structure, management, rules for use, long-term support, and potential collaborative studies using existing data.

Using Case-based Methods for Evaluating Complexity in the Health SectorJSI
Anne LaFond presented as part of a panel at the 2015 Evaluation Conference on using case-based methods for evaluating complexity in the health sector, sharing insights from various JSI case studies.
Healthcare in the United States has become very fragmented, expensive and disjointed. Over the course of a hospitalization, a patient may be transferred from one unit to another, sometimes spending as much as 5 different units in a 3 day stay. This has led to many hand-off reports, and increased the potential for mistakes, improper communication, and patient deaths.
Partnership in this context is defined as a relationship between individuals or groups that is characterized by mutual cooperation and responsibility, as for the achievement of a specified goal (The American Heritage Dictionary, 2006). Partnership ensures that each member is equal and brings something important to the table. The Partnership Care Delivery Model (PCDM) ensures that the patient is an integral part of the healthcare team, and their experiences, contributions, advice, and influence is needed and valued.

This document discusses the state of mental healthcare in Africa through quotations and statistics. It notes that about 30% of the burden of noncommunicable diseases is due to mental disorders. However, 75-85% of people with severe mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries like Africa receive no treatment, compared to 35-50% in high-income countries. There is a lack of psychiatrists, with an average of only 0.05 per 100,000 people in Africa compared to 9 per 100,000 in Europe. Stigma around mental illness also limits access to care and education. Experts call for more funding and awareness of mental health as an "unfunded priority" that impacts other health programs.

This document discusses complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It defines CAM as healing practices other than those of conventional Western medicine. The document outlines common CAM practices like acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy and dietary supplements. It notes that 20% of Canadians visit CAM practitioners and over 70% use natural health products. Regulation of CAM practitioners and products varies between provinces and between practices. The document advises that Echinacea, ginseng, vitamin C and zinc may help treat or prevent colds, but that oil of oregano is not supported by research for cold treatment.
Beyond Western Medicine: Traditional and Alternative Care in Africa and Canada.
AMREF works with traditional healers in South Africa to improve health, with a focus on HIV/AIDS and TB.
The document discusses several low-cost nutritional, infectious disease, and health interventions that have proven effective in developing countries, such as iron supplements, deworming treatments, bed nets, and vaccinations. However, uptake of these interventions remains low due to issues like low quality of public services, lack of information and trust, and household decision-making dynamics. The document argues that more "nudges" like subsidies, convenience measures, and incentives could help increase uptake, as people in all societies respond to some degree of paternalistic guidance around public health issues.
Exploring if and how economic growth that’s happening in some African countries affects people’s health and well-being. Is there a direct benefit? Or, is the relationship a little more complicated?
The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF), based in Kenya, is using eLearning to upgrade the skills of thousands of nurses, providing better health care in Africa.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

“…knowledge translation is defined by the Canadian Institutes
of Health Research as a dynamic and iterative process that
includes the synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically
sound application of knowledge to improve health, provide
more effective health services and products, and strengthen
the health care system…(it is) a move beyond the simple
dissemination of knowledge into actual use of knowledge.”
-Sharon E. Straus, Jacqueline Tetroe, and Ian Graham,
in “Defining knowledge translation”

“We understand “global health research” to mean the
production, synthesis and use of knowledge that
prioritizes equity and improved well-being for all people
worldwide. This includes trans-national health issues and
multi-disciplinary collaboration. Global health research
informs policy at the local, national and global levels to
improve programs, practices and health behaviour”

In December 2010, McMaster University’s “McMaster Health Forum”
was designated as the World Health Organization’s Collaborating
Centre for Evidence-Informed Policy. The McMaster Health Forum
takes research evidence and identifies the relevant stakeholders who
can use this evidence to inform change. One of many such
knowledge translation hubs in Canada, “The Forum acts as an agent
of change by empowering stakeholders to set agendas, take well-
considered actions and communicate the rationale for actions
effectively.”

9. Have you heard of
the ‘Know - Do’ Gap?
Much knowledge about what could make a
difference in health outcomes is available, but
individuals and institutions in developing countries
often do not have access to this information, or
lack the capacity to apply this knowledge.
10. Using knowledge for change can be a struggle, as there are
often Limited Linkages between Researchers and
Policymakers. There are few incentives for individual
researchers to connect their knowledge with larger
processes. Researchers often believe that their work is
finished when it is published. Similarly, policymakers (and
NGOs) often do not seek out existing knowledge that may be
of critical value to their policies.
