Last week's feature article was by my colleague Subha Sankaran (Health Nexus) describing the updated Primer to Action: Social Determinants of Health, an electronic resource that helps us understand how the social determinants of health affect chronic disease, and what we can do about it. http://www.healthnexus.ca/projects/PrimertoAction_May30.pdf Set in an electronic, easy-to-read format, with hundreds of links and resources, it is a practical resource for busy health and community workers and activists. Primer to Action helps us move toward upstream actions to impact health. Primer to Action provides a point of entry to understand and take action on six health determinants: Income, Employment, Housing, Food Security, Education and Inclusion. It offers concrete suggestions for change in the community, the workplace and the broader society. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *~ OHPE Bulletin 570.0 June 13, 2008 Shifting the Dialogue on Chronic Disease Contents I Introduction II Moving from Knowledge to Action III Multi-stage Participatory Process IV Revised Primer to Action Features Over 400 Links V Workshops Help Inform the Revised Primer VI How to use the Primer to Action VII Shifting the Dialogue at the Global Level VIII Feedback Read more at: http://www.ohpe.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9704&Itemid=78 As the URL is long, it may break partway through in your email reader.
