Health 3.0 Leadership Conference: RENEWing School Meals with Ariana Oliva
Health 3.0 Leadership Conference: RENEWing School Meals with Ariana OlivaCenter for Public Health Practice & Leadership at UC Berkeley
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.
Enjoy this Bright Spot presentation from Florence Simpson, Food Service Manager, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Ariana Oliva of the California Food Policy Advocates, which was presented at the 2013 Annual Leadership Conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership (CHL) and the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.

2015 Case Competition on Cargill Hosted By Bain&Company
This presentation is a two-week project by our team of five in an effort to address the problem our client Cargill is facing in the year 2015. In particular, Cargill and its business partners are facing declining revenues due to the miscommunication about food products from conflicting sources such as social media. The question is how to eliminate such miscommunication and increase transparency for Cargill itself. Our team did a field survey at Whole Foods Market in downtown Chicago to pinpoint the most influential source on consumer behavior. As a solution, our team made two recommendations. First, educate doctors and NGOs on the quality of our product and food health in general through multiple channels. Second, partner up with an influential third party and create a seal with new, comprehensive standard to address the safety concerns from the consumer. In the end, we discussed some potential obstacles we will be facing during implementation.
Note: all information from this powerpoint is collected from the public domain. The analysis and recommendation made in the Powerpoint in no way represent Cargill or Bain's view on the matter.

This document discusses the importance of engaging families, beyond just mothers, in social and behavior change interventions for maternal and child health and nutrition. It provides evidence that gender inequality is a key determinant of child undernutrition outcomes. Programs that engage fathers, grandmothers, and couples can positively impact behaviors and norms. The document describes several examples of projects in Bangladesh, India, Malawi that formed mother, father, and grandmother groups or engaged couples. These projects led to reductions in stunting, increases in recommended practices like early breastfeeding, and improvements in water access, interpersonal relationships, and joint decision-making. Essential components of social and behavior change include addressing influencers at multiple levels, using gender transformative approaches, and
Radikale: Fresno State
The document outlines a marketing plan to develop and sell packaged blends of kale, apples, and carrots. It notes the recent boom in kale production and consumption as well as the popularity of juicing and blending kale. The business proposition involves nutritious 3-pack blends that provide accurate nutrition facts in a convenient, versatile, and natural format. The goals are to achieve $16 million in sales in year 1 by entering 500 California stores and expanding to 750 stores in the PNW by year 2 with a 50% increase in sales revenue. Tactics include education, sampling, trade shows, blogs, and social media campaigns. Progress will be monitored through sales data and social media analytics.
Chancha bsn
This document discusses why many obese people in the US experience hunger. It suggests that high fructose corn syrup added to many processed foods, coupled with government subsidies that encourage fat and sugar production over nutritious foods, contribute to the problem. With poverty levels rising and access to affordable healthy options limited, many can only afford high calorie junk foods. As a result, health problems are increasing while healthcare costs rise, straining the US economy. Solutions proposed include regulations on school/grocery store foods, taxes on unhealthy items, and limiting food stamps to nutritious purchases to improve diets and productivity.
CommunityViewsSurveyOct-Dec2015
The survey of 300 community members found that 82.5% were concerned or very concerned about underage drinking. A higher percentage - 88.5% - were concerned or very concerned about marijuana use among youth. An even higher percentage - 89% - were concerned or very concerned about prescription drug misuse among youth. Some comments from the survey called for more education and resources for parents, treating substance use as a health issue rather than a crime, and promoting positive social activities for youth.

Fair Trade USA's New Impact Measurement and Management Framework
This session introduces Fair Trade USA's new Impact Measurement and Management Framework, which has been developed to define, measure and communicate – in a systematic and unified way – the impacts Fair Trade enables for farmers, workers, businesses and consumers. The Framework generates new insight into the complex relationships between value creation (risk management, reliable production, profitable growth), sustainable livelihoods (human well-being, income empowerment, environment sustainability) and consumer activation (product choice, preference for Fair Trade). It is built on a holistic theory of change and relies heavily on analyzing multiple streams of data from the field, as well as academic research and a storytelling component.
Faith in Prevention Poster
This document outlines a program funded by the Faith Health Services (FHS) to provide $900,000 to regional health collaborators to educate faith-based organizations on obesity prevention. The goals are to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and reduce obesity rates in New Jersey through faith communities. Collaborators will be monitored and must submit reports on their progress. If deemed successful by the CDC, additional funding may be provided to expand the program to more faith-based organizations.
Alan CCDA Presentation
This document summarizes the Baltimarket Urban Food Access Strategy program led by Alan Mclain of the Baltimore City Health Department. The program aims to address food deserts in Baltimore City by increasing access to healthy foods. It provides incentives to corner stores to stock more healthy options and conducts a youth leadership program. An initial evaluation after six months found increased stocking of healthy foods in participating stores but a decline in produce sales, likely due to civil unrest. The youth participants reported increased self-efficacy and engagement, though leadership scores decreased possibly due to recognizing the magnitude of the issues. The program aims to continue improving healthy food access and the youth leadership component.
SFSP Marketing Outreach for DACS Meeting
The document outlines Florida's 2011 summer food marketing and outreach strategic plan to address childhood hunger. It details initial efforts in 8 pilot counties using partnerships, branding, multi-lingual outreach materials, and websites. Early results showed an 11,000 child increase in average daily attendance, up 15%. The plan was expanding statewide with additional partnerships and marketing components like PSAs to promote the program and attract more children.
Michelle Obama’s Lets Move Project
The First Lady initiated the "Let's Move" program in 2010 to combat childhood obesity. The program has four pillars: making healthier school foods, increasing access to healthy options, providing nutrition education for parents, and promoting physical activity. It has led to improvements like healthier school menus, cooking lessons for children, more informed parents, and greater availability of nutritious foods.
Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth - Heidi Hertz
The document discusses strategies to address childhood obesity following CDC guidelines, including increasing access to healthy foods like fruits and vegetables while reducing sugary drinks and portion sizes. It also promotes active environments through physical activity and reducing screen time. The VFHY program has funded 59 Healthy Youth Community Action Teams across the state working with over 295 partners to support policy changes improving nutrition and physical activity in local communities.
Whole Grains: Policy and Economics
This document summarizes research on increasing whole grain consumption in the United States. It finds that while whole grain purchases and intake have increased due to policies like the 2005 Dietary Guidelines, Americans are still far from meeting whole grain recommendations. Whole grain products make up only 12-16% of total grain intake on average. The document also examines demographic differences in whole grain consumption and issues around whole grain labeling and affordability. It concludes that clear progress has been made but that challenges around cost, negative attention, and lack of whole grains in restaurants and schools must still be addressed to achieve long-term progress.
Equity & Nutrition Through Agriculture_Lewis_5.10.11
The GINA program aims to improve nutritional outcomes for children under 5 through integrated agriculture and health interventions in Mozambique, Uganda and Nigeria. It seeks to introduce nutritious crops and animal foods, provide technical support to farmers, and conduct nutrition education campaigns. The goals are to empower women, promote nutrition in national policies, and reduce childhood undernutrition. Evaluation found the program improved nutritional status, increased knowledge, and empowered women and men through skills and decision making. Best practices included linking policies to actions, capacity building, and community-based activities using integrated approaches. The NCRSP supports research to determine effective agriculture-nutrition strategies and policies to achieve large-scale improvements in nutrition.

The document summarizes key findings from a study that evaluated participants' perceptions of an integrated agriculture and nutrition program in Malawi called the Feed the Future Integrating Nutrition in Value Chains Program. Through collecting Most Significant Change stories from participants, the study found that the program benefited participants by improving household health, nutrition knowledge, and farming practices. However, participants reported gaps in the availability of inputs like seeds and loans as well as insufficient monitoring and outreach. The study concluded that linking agriculture and nutrition activities can improve nutrition outcomes, but the program's implementation could have been strengthened by more regular supervision and addressing issues with input distribution.

Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.
The Farm To School Agenda
The document discusses key priorities and activities for the Child Nutrition Reauthorization process in 2009, as advocated by the School Nutrition Association (SNA). The SNA represents over 55,000 members involved in school nutrition programs. Some of the main priorities pushed by the SNA included establishing consistent national nutrition standards, providing adequate funding for child nutrition programs, eliminating reduced price fees, and improving access to school breakfast programs. The SNA engaged in advocacy efforts with Congress and USDA, and outreach to members and stakeholders to promote these priorities during the reauthorization.

The campaign targets multiple audiences and carefully aligns tactics to objectives to effectively educate students, parents, and health experts on sugar's impacts.
Anthony Eleftherion_First Focus Writing Sample
The document discusses efforts to combat hunger and obesity among low-income families through SNAP pilot programs. It outlines five current pilot programs in New York, Oregon, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan that provide matching funds for SNAP recipients to purchase fresh foods at farmers markets. The pilots have increased healthy food access and SNAP spending at farmers markets, but combining them with nutrition education could more effectively address the problems. Policymakers should support expanding similar pilots nationally along with other SNAP initiatives.

FFN_Double Up_Report_Hunger_digital
Fair Food Network runs the Double Up Food Bucks program, which provides matching funds for SNAP beneficiaries to buy more produce at farmers markets and grocery stores. The program began at 5 farmers markets in 2009 and has since expanded to over 150 sites in Michigan. A study of Double Up participants in Detroit found that the program reached very low-income SNAP shoppers. Fair Food Network received a USDA grant to expand Double Up in Michigan using lessons from participant surveys and focus groups. The expansion will make it easier for SNAP beneficiaries to access and use incentives to purchase more locally grown produce.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.
