*** BRAVO ! A major accomplishment !

>Congratulations and happy birthday to all of us - this health promotion
>listserv is officially ten years old today!
>
>In April 1996 Liz Rykert, Alison Stirling & Sam Lanfranco invited people
>around the world to join in the new listserv on 'health promotion on the
>Internet'.
>
>If you go back to the CLICK4HP listserv archives at http://www.click4hp.ca
>and down near the bottom of the page, check April 1996 you would find
>Liz Rykert's welcome message to the 'early birds':
>
>  "We would like to extend a warm welcome to this new list for discussing
>the use of computer mediated communication (CMC) and Health Promotion.
>Discussion will officially begin on May 1, 1996 when the list-serv is
>activated. The listserv was conceived as a lead in to a workshop to be
>held at the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) Conference in
>Vancouver, BC on July 3, 1996. However, as there seems to be considerable
>interest in this area; we anticipate the use of the list-serv for
>discussion beyond what could possiblly be accomplished in a session at a
>conference. As we all venture out to explore our capacity to work
>together, without the barriers of time and place, we will need to rely on
>each other for the implications this new venue holds both in the literal
>and virtual realms."
>
>By May 1 1996, we had 225 subscribers to CLICK4HP, with a flurry of
>introductions and questions, ideas and resources exchanged within the very
>first week. We have continued to grow and change with the years, reaching
>a sustained subscriber base of more than 1000 people in late 2002.
>Some other statistics of interest:
>Subscribers May 1, 2006  1153
>Total number of postings over 10 years – 10,163
>Average #postings/month  85	(smallest # 5 or 31, largest 202).
>
>On a regular basis we've had discussions about the meaning of health
>promotion, of the determinants of health, of population health and issues
>of  behavioural change orientation or socio-environmental approaches to
>health. Some of these early discussions were compiled, edited for
>formatting and put on a separate web page. For those interested in
>historical debates on health promotion, you might want to see:
>September 1996 "What is Real Health Promotion?"  discussion about the
>nature and definition of HP http://www.web.net/~stirling/c4hpreal.htm
>Feb-Mar 1997 "Using the Online Environment for Health Promotion"
>discussion about technology's impact on the way we work, the structure of
>our work and the communities we work with
>http://www.web.net/~stirling/hponline.htm
>
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
>Our first discussion on the uses of computers (and the Internet) for
>health promotion was led off by list facilitator [extraordinaire!] Liz
>Rykert, and it still holds true today - here it is, slightly adapted for
>2006, with hopes that you will join in a renewed discussion of the same
>issues:
>
>"What are your lessons learned to date with respect to incorporating the
>Internet in your work?
>
>You may want to take one aspect - training, facilitating, on-line
>mediation, creating on-line culture/atmosphere, mentoring, connectivity
>planning and design in health promotion, etc., - and roll out your
>observations in small bites."
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
>Today, on May 1, 2006, what are YOUR comments and reflections on using the
>Internet to do health promotion work, and participating in the CLICK4HP
>health promotion listserv.
>
>
>Cheers to all!
