I'm on a fact finding mission and this request is addressed to others working in Chronic Disease Prevention (specifically at public health departments/units). The Province of Ontario Mandatory Health Programs and Services Guidelines - December 1997 - Chronic Disease Prevention Requirements and Standards #3 talks about providing education for staff in social service and seniors' agencies, rec departments and child care facilities with relationship to chronic disease prevention. As a minimum there are a couple of points to consider with the second point (b) requiring that every 3 months a newsletter or the Internet is used to provide information on chronic disease prevention topics. I would like to know how others meet this requirement. We currently have a newsletter going out but our sense is that it most often ends up going directly to the client and not the staff. It would be helpful to learn about other approaches/formats. Please let me know how you've handled this requirement keeping in mind what didn't work is good to know too!
