Hello Sylvia,
I might be able to help you regarding your rather extensive project. Have
you heard about the forum "Preventing Chronic Disease: Working Together in
an Integrated Approach" that took place in Edmonton on March 20th and 21st,
2002? The purpose of the forum was to bring Alberta stakeholders together to
start working together to prevent chronic disease. As you mentioned,
physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco use are modifiable behaviours that
contribute to risk reduction for several chronic diseases. There was an
environmental scan commissioned for this forum. Please contact me directly
to discuss contacts.
Sincerely,
Joanne

Subject: Health Promotion and Prevention of Chronic Disease
Request for assistance. I am a University of Alberta MSc Health Promotion
student doing a practicum placement in David Thompson Health Region in
Alberta. The project focuses on Health Promotion and Prevention of Chronic
Disease. The chronic diseases of interest are heart health , diabetes, and
cancer. The modifiable risk factors of interest are exercise, healthy
nutrition, and tobacco reduction. I have been requested to complete an
environmental scan of population health initiatives specific to the diseases
and modifiable risk factors listed above, on a provincial, national, and
international level. I am having difficulty finding information about
population health initiatives at the provincial, national, and international
level. Is anyone able to provide me with suggestions or assistance?
Thank you.
Sylvia Simmons
