Hi,
There is a critical article on the American Public Health Association's web
site, Social Issues in Public Health: Promise and Peril, that presents what
the authors term the "cross-roads" of public health that seems relevant to
the present discussion.

Hi Dennis,

I think people need to look at real anti-poverty work that supports groups
of poor people in taking on the issue of economic injustice themselves.
Below is a link to a campaign that some Ottawa poor people are undertaking
around a motion to direct City staff to go to the Ontario Pre-budget
hearings and ask for an increase in the shelter allowance portion of the
welfare cheques.

The motion and the poster (only in PDF) can be found at:

http://welfarewatch.toronto.on.ca/motion.htm

I would be happy to chat more with you off-line about ideas.

I am speaking to the 36 medical officers of health of Ontario on Friday.
Any
suggestions?

  I am interested in knowing what it is that you believe public health
should be
doing to address this rather than focusing on "lifestyle" modification.  We
have been raising determinants of health issues at the political level for
years to no avail.

Your ideas for translating this research into action would be appreciated.
