The School of Public Health at the University of Alberta is pleased to
announce a new issue of Healthe-news.

  

In this issue: 

 

Evidence-informed decisions - A win-win - Public health researchers
generate evidence but sometimes struggle with getting it into the hands
of decision makers. Decision makers see themselves as using evidence to
make good decisions. But, what is "evidence" and is it really being used
for better decision making? 

 

Shaking the salt (and sodium) habit - Do you often enjoy popcorn at the
movie theatre? Do you have a habit of pulling out the salt shaker at the
dinner table? If so, you're not alone. So why should you be concerned
with the amount of sodium in your diet?

 

Environmental health alum - collaborating for improved health - Safe
food, air, water, and physical environments. These are things that
Canadians have come to expect. In fact, Health Goals for Canada requires
that our basic needs are fulfilled within the physical environments in
which we work and play.
