hi all,
is there a good example of a recent study of health and illness of a
particular city or region that really stands out in how well it actually
captures the dynamics of the social geography/context of health and
illness? an example of what we should be aspiring to produce in our
own cities and regions??

I think that is a short sighted comment. Public Health provides a variety of
services that work to improve the health of our communities beyond physical
activity, nutrition and smoking.
For instance Public Health is involved in Food Security and Access work,
Violence Prevention, Immunization, Speech and Language Services, CINOT,
(Dental Treatment for Children in Need of Treatment), Sexual Health Clinics,
Car Seat Gift Program (car seats for families that can't afford them) and
the Healthy Babies Healthy Children Program to assist high risk families
access services and navigate through new parenthood. These are just a few
examples. There are many others that take a Social Determinants of Health
approach.
Just think of what we could achieve with more.

These programs are very similar to those through Hamilton's Public Health
department. Healthy Babies Healthy Children is in fact a provincial
initiative that focuses very specifically on child development but does not
seem to have the vision or goal of addressing family income security. This
as we know is the biggest risk factor and the key determinant of healthy
outcomes.
It is also noteworthy that many of Hamilton's municpal programs, including
the Car Seat program are funded through the National Benefit Supplement
Clawback (NCBS) money. This is a federal benefit to address child poverty
that is clawed back from families on OW/ODSP. In a cruel twist, this money
is clawed back ($120 per month minimum for 1 child) from families and then
is redistributed as programs or "gifts". I wonder if this is the practice in
Thunder Bay or in other municipalites.

The claw-back of Child Benefit money is one of the most egregious public
policy moves ever created. Taking money from those who most need it and
using it to provide "programs" for the poor would be laughable if not so
tragic. The Ontario Liberals promised to end this practice. Upon
election, they changed their minds.
See below.

In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]>

Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Here's an example of an attempt at ongoing population health assessment by
a local health dept.
In San Francisco we have been producing an annual overview of health whcih
attempts to review available data on most important health outcomes and
determinant conditions. I produced these reports from 2000 thru 2003. They
can be found under SF Dept. of Public Health website under reports--here's
url for 2002 version (2003 unfortunately was done as part of dept. annual
report, so is included in that as ch 3 & 4 and first part of ch. 2):
http://www.dph.sf.ca.us/Reports/OvrViewHlth/OvrviewHlth02/OvrviewHlth02All.pdf
This repoort has evolved each year. It wasn't done in 2004 due to my
position falling prey to massive budget cuts due to California and S.F.
finances, but I expect a version of it to be restored this year, which
should allow the ongoing development of this report to resume.
Our aim is to provide data for evidence-based public health, including
developing the attribution analysis side so that we can start linking the
levels of social determinants to their effects on the burden of disease.
We want to be able to estimate the effects on population health over time
of changing the distribution of factors like income distribution, social
supports, etc.
I'd be most interested in comments or suggestions. Ultimately we want to
monitor the most important, and modifiable, determinants of the burden of
disease (and disparities) in populations, but we're still trying to figure
out what that means we should include, and how to get (local) data to
assess it.

=93There should be some place where we can all go to get a relatively reliab=
le
and valid assessment of the world that we're living in,=94 says Alex Michalo=
s,
director of the Institute for Social Research and Evaluation at the
University of Northern British Columbia. Michalos is working with a national=
working group of about 20 researchers on the new Canadian Index of Wellbeing=
(CIW).
The group includes representatives from Statistics Canada and Environment
Canada, and researchers from eight universities and six non-government
research organizations across Canada. The work is also part of a broader
international effort to measure the things that count: the CIW researchers
have been working closely with their counterparts in New Zealand, the United=
Kingdom, Germany, the United States and elsewhere.
The CIW won't come up with the answer to everything, but its aim is still
ambitious. And the questions it asks are every bit as important as the
answers it offers. It aims to assess whether Canadians are better off or
worse off than they used to be =97 not just materially or based on how fast
the economy is growing, but in terms of their overall wellbeing. By doing
so, it will become Canada's core, central measure of progress, and it will
relegate the Gross Domestic Product to the function for which it was
originally designed and intended: measuring the overall size of the market
economy.
=93The Canadian Index of Wellbeing is intended to be a measure of the qualit=
y
of life of all Canadians,=94 says Michalos. =93You could think of an Index o=
f
Wellbeing as a kind of index of people's life chances =97 that is the
probabilities of good or bad things happening to them as they go through
their lives.=94
Measuring wellbeing in seven areas
Researchers working on the new Index are looking at seven specific areas or
=93domains=94 that affect the lives of everyone.
* The Living Standards domain, for example, will measure incomes and
jobs; the gap between rich and poor; food and livelihood security; and
affordable housing.
* The Healthy Populations domain will assess the health status and
health outcomes of different groups of Canadians, as well as risk factors
and conditions that affect health and disease.
* The Community Vitality domain will assess social cohesion, personal
security and safety, and people's sense of social and cultural belonging.
Other domains will measure:
* The quality of the environment
* The educational attainment of the population
* The amount of free time that people can devote to social, family and
cultural pursuits and finally,
* The CIW will measure people's civic engagement, and how responsive
governing bodies are to citizens' needs and views.
The CIW will release its first report in the fall, on three core areas of
wellbeing that matter to Canadians: healthy populations, living standards
and time use.

Subject: NYT - Always Low Wages. Always.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
May 13, 2005
Always Low Wages. Always.
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Last week Standard and Poor's, a bond rating agency, downgraded both Ford
and General Motors bonds to junk status. That is, it sees a significant
risk that the companies won't be able to pay their debts.
Don't cry for the bondholders, but do cry for the workers.
Standard and Poor's downgraded GM and Ford sooner rather than later because
it believes that the public is losing interest in S.U.V.'s. But the
companies were vulnerable because they still pay decent wages and offer
good benefits, in an age when taking care of employees has gone out of
style. In particular, they are weighed down by health care costs for
current and retired workers, which run to about $1,500 per vehicle at G.M.
So the downgrade was a reminder of how far we have come from the days when
hard-working Americans could count on a reasonable degree of economic
security.
In 1968, when General Motors was a widely emulated icon of American
business, many of its workers were lifetime employees. On average, they
earned about $29,000 a year in today's dollars, a solidly middle-class
income at the time. They also had generous health and retirement benefits.
Since then, America has grown much richer, but American workers have become
far less secure.
Today, Wal-Mart is America's largest corporation. Like G.M. in its prime,
it has become a widely emulated business icon. But there the resemblance
ends.
The average full-time Wal-Mart employee is paid only about $17,000 a year.
The company's health care plan covers fewer than half of its workers.
True, not everyone is badly paid. In 1968, the head of General Motors
received about $4 million in today's dollars - and that was considered
extravagant. But last year Scott Lee Jr., Wal-Mart's chief executive, was
paid $17.5 million. That is, every two weeks Mr. Lee was paid about as much
as his average employee will earn in a lifetime.
Not that many of them will actually spend a lifetime at Wal-Mart: more than
40 percent of the company's workers leave every year.
I'm not trying either to romanticize the General Motors of yore or to
portray Wal-Mart as the root of all evil. GM was , and Wal-Mart is, a
product of its time. And there's no easy way to reverse the changes.
What should be clear, however, is that the public safety net F.D.R. and
L.B.J. created is more important than ever, now that workers in the world's
richest nation can no longer count on the private sector to provide them
with economic security.
When they reach 65, most Wal-Mart employees will rely heavily on Social
Security - if the privatizers don't kill it. And many Wal-Mart employees
already rely on Medicaid to pay for health care, especially for their
children.
Indeed, a growing number of working Americans have turned to Medicaid. As
the Kaiser Family Foundation points out, that's why children have for the
most part have retained health coverage, despite a sharp decline in
employer-based health insurance since 2000.
Yet our current political leaders are trying to privatize Social Security
and reduce benefits. And they are slashing funds for Medicaid even as they
give big tax cuts to people like Mr. Lee.
The attack on the safety net is motivated by ideology, not popular demand.
The public isn't taken with the vision of an "ownership society"; it seems
to want more, not less, social insurance. According to a poll cited in a
recent Business Week article titled "Safety Net Nation," 67 percent of
Americans think we should guarantee health care to all citizens; just 27
percent disagree.
The question is whether the public's desire for a stronger safety net will
finally be seconded by corporations that haven't yet adopted the Wal-Mart
model of minimal benefits and always low wages.
Last year Richard Wagoner Jr., G.M.'s chief executive, gave a speech about
the costs of America's "Kafkaesque" health care system that sounded a lot
like my recent columns. And his company has made it clear that it likes
Canada's system: in 2002 the president of General Motors of Canada and the
head of the Canadian Auto Workers signed a joint letter declaring that "it
is vitally important that the publicly funded health care system be
preserved and renewed."
But according to The Journal Register News Service, which covered Mr.
Wagoner's speech, he "stressed later to reporters that he was not proposing
a national health care plan." Why not?

Class in America: Shadowy Lines That Still Divide
By JANNY SCOTT and DAVID LEONHARDT
Published: May 15, 2005
There was a time when Americans thought they understood class. The upper
crust vacationed in Europe and worshiped an Episcopal God. The middle class
drove Ford Fairlanes, settled the San Fernando Valley and enlisted as
company men. The working class belonged to the A.F.L.-C.I.O., voted
Democratic and did not take cruises to the Caribbean... SNIP

New Report on Canadain communities
http://www.fcm.ca/qol3/qolfeb.pdf
also: http://www.fcm.ca/qol3/may112005.pdf
SNIP... Using this framework, the Highlights Report found that quality of
life in the 20 communities was at risk and
had deteriorated for a significant number of people between 1991 and 2001.
While general improvements in
rates of post-secondary education, employment growth and home-ownership
suggested a positive picture overall,
these improvements were offset by a growing income gap, changes to social
programs, and increased strain
on the urban environment. The Highlights Report also portrayed a
roller-coaster period of severe economic
decline between 1991 and 1996, followed by a general recovery in levels of
income, falling poverty rates and
reduced housing affordability problems between 1996 and 2001. However, this
recovery was only partial, and
was not shared equally by all households... SNIP

As a first step, ASHEN, previously known as "the SDOH group", organized
a pivotal provincial conference in March 2005. Reality Check 2005:
Inequalities and Health in a Debt Free Alberta was a tremendous success
with close to 200 researchers, practitioners and experienced community
members joining together to discuss issues, action and public policy
concerns. The proceedings will soon be online at the following
location:
http://www.foodsecurityalberta.ca/content.asp?catid=3D34&rootid=3D3
Webstreaming of the day 2 participant video can also be found at this
website. =20
=20
Community members who took part in the conference told us they want to
see something happen after the conference and we are working on it!
Community action and organizing is slow business and takes time to do it
well-so please bear with us. Since Reality Check, we have since formed
a Steering Committee to move the project forward. We are recruiting a
Coordinator to work with network members and the ASHEN steering
committee. We are updating our website and have put the day 2 video on
there for viewing. Lastly, we are planning a series of community
forums to be held in several communities in Fall of 2005/early 2006.
The purpose of these forums will be to discuss conference
proceedings/recommendations, prioritize the top social determinants to
be addressed in Alberta, and develop a draft Alberta Charter on Social
Determinants of Health.

Hi all,
Unite For Sight has many new volunteer opportunities in Africa, Asia,
Latin America, and Eastern Europe for Summer 2005, Fall 2005, and Spring
2006. Opportunities are available in rural villages, urban locations,
and refugee camps (including in the tsunami region).
You can read about all of the opportunities at
http://www.uniteforsight.org/intl_volunteer/
Unite For Sight volunteers implement outreach programs to prescribe
eyeglasses, implement eye health education, and screen for cataracts,
pterygium, and other eye diseases. All patients with eye disease are
referred to the closest quality eye clinic for diagnosis, treatment, and
surgery. This new form of delivery enables sustainable programs while
simultaneously reducing all of the barriers to health care, including
financial, transportation, and education hindrances. Unite For Sight's
model also reduces costs and expands the ability of all people to "Unite
For Sight" and help in the fight against blindness.
The Unite For Sight programs are open to individuals 18 years and older,
and there is no upper age limit. Undergraduate and medical students,
public health professionals, nurses, educators, optometrists, and
ophthalmologists are especially encouraged to apply.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Staple
Founder, President & CEO
Unite For Sight

Conservative Stronach joins Liberals
Last Updated Tue, 17 May 2005 12:02:41 EDT
CBC News
[This means that many of the progressive aspects of the Federal Budget
instigated by New Democratic Leader Jack layton may survive.]
OTTAWA - Belinda Stronach, who ran for the leadership of the Conservati=
ve
party in early 2004, has crossed the floor to the Liberal party and wil=
l
sit in Paul Martin's cabinet.
The millionaire businesswoman becomes minister of human resources and
skills development, the prime minister said Tuesday morning. She and wi=
ll
also help the Liberals implement the recommendations in the Gomery repo=
rt
on the scandal-plagued sponsorship program when it is delivered later t=
his
year.
Stronach's defection could keep Martin's minority government in power a=
s it
faces two key votes on its 2005 budget Thursday.
Paul Martin welcomes Belinda Stronach into the Liberal party.
"After difficult reflection, I reached a conclusion," Stronach told
reporters in Ottawa. "I cannot exaggerate how hard this was for me, but=
the
political crisis affecting Canada is too risky and dangerous for blind
partisanship."
She also said Conservative Leader Stephen Harper is not sensitive to th=
e
needs of all parts of the country, and is jeopardizing national unity b=
y
allying himself to the Bloc Qu=E9b=E9cois.
"The country must come first," she said.
Stronach said that someday, the Conservatives will grow and strengthen =
to
become a worthy challenger to the Liberals. In the meantime, she thinks=
her
place is with a party that is more responsive to the needs of cities, w=
omen
and young people.
She also said she is looking forward to tackling the Gomery recommendat=
ions
when they are presented.
"Only when the people of Canada have renewed confidence and faith in th=
e
systems of government can we return to economic prosperity."
Small-L liberal in Conservative ranks
Stronach is a small-L liberal who has not always been comfortable withi=
n
the Conservative ranks, especially on the issue of same-sex marriage.
Last week, she said it would be unfortunate if the Liberal government f=
ell
before the 2005 budget was passed because it contained measures on
municipal funding that were of great importance to her constituents in =
the
Toronto-area riding of Newmarket-Aurora.
The former president and CEO of auto parts maker Magna International In=
c.
lost the Conservative leadership race to Harper in March 2004.
Stronach's father, Magna founder Frank Stronach, ran unsuccessfully for=
the
federal Liberals in 1988 when John Turner was leader of the party.
Stronach said she broached the matter with former Ontario premier David=
Peterson, who is a family friend, after running into him and his wife a=
t an
event in Toronto last week.
Peterson, a Liberal who led a minority government in Ontario in the 198=
0s
before winning his first majority, spoke to her at some length before
arranging conversations with federal Liberals and eventually the prime
minister.
'I can count,' Martin says of budget vote
The alliance with Stronach could keep Martin's minority government aliv=
e in
two key budget votes expected Thursday.
Her defection from the Conservatives gives the Liberal-NDP coalition on=
the
budget a total of 151 votes, not including Speaker Peter Milliken, a
Liberal MP who votes only in the case of a tie.
The Conservatives and Bloc have a total of 152 votes.
There are three Independent MPs, one of whom, Carolyn Parrish, has said=
she
will vote with the Liberals. The other two, Chuck Cadman and David Kilg=
our,
have not said which way they will vote.
"We still don't know whether the budget will pass or not, [but] I've go=
t to
tell you, I can count," said a visibly pleased Martin, calling Stronach=
a
"gutsy" new part of his team.
In the June 2004 election, Stronach beat Liberal Martha Hall-Findlay in=
her
riding by 689 votes.
Martin said Hall-Findlay, who has already earned the Liberal nomination=
for
Newmarket-Aurora for the next election, has agreed to step aside in fav=
our
of Stronach's candidacy.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Lucienne Robillard had been leading =
the
Department of Human Resources and Skills Development since mid-January,=
when former minister Tony Valeri was shuffled to handle the immigration=
portfolio.
Robillard will now be intergovernmental affairs minister only.
Pressed on how her decision will affect her romantic relationship with
Central Nova MP Peter MacKay, the deputy leader of the Conservatives,
Stronach called that a "personal matter" that she did not intend to com=
ment
upon.
She also said she had the "greatest respect" for MacKay.

unjust" inequalities in health and healthcare provision

Press Release from the Healthcare Commission in England
Best wishes

Healthcare regulator launches new bid to reduce "avoidable and unjust"
inequalities in health and healthcare provision
Healthcare organisations must reduce inequalities in people's health care,
the Healthcare Commission will say today (Monday) as it publishes a
three-year plan to improve health services.
The Commission's strategic plan for 2005-2008 highlights what the regulator
aims to achieve for patients and the public over the coming three years.
It aims to use its new system of assessment to drive improvement across the
NHS and independent healthcare sector, as well as ensuring that regulation
is efficient and well targeted.
A key cornerstone of the plan is ensuring its assessments focus on what is
being done to reduce inequalities in access to health care and in the
health of the population, whether as a result of age, gender, ethnicity,
social class, disability or geographical area.
The Commission pledges to check up on compliance with legislation on
equality and human rights, and include an explicit focus on health
inequalities in all its work streams. It will, for the first time, gather
and publish evidence on the ethnic origin, gender and religion of users of
mental health services.
Anna Walker, the Commission's Chief Executive, said the Commission's new
assessment systems will highlight the importance of reducing health
inequalities and inequalities in access to and provision of healthcare.
She said: "Large inequalities in health persist and in some cases are
widening. We know that the risks of premature death and ill health are
clustered around some geographical areas and identifiable groups.
"For example, rates of dying from coronary heart disease are three times
higher among unskilled manual male workers than among professional men.
Dying within a month of birth among babies of Pakistani-born mothers is
almost double the national average. There are also inequalities in access
to health care. Some inequalities are unavoidable, but many are both
avoidable and unjust.
"In the coming year, healthcare organisations will have to demonstrate to
us that working with others, including local government, they have assessed
the different needs and inequalities within the local population and
explain how services and resources are deployed to address them."
The strategic plan also details a substantial programme of activity
including a new risk-based approach to inspection, which focuses on what
matters most to patients and members of the public.
The programme includes:
* A new system of assessment, providing an assessment of every NHS
organisation in England, will replace the old star ratings system and
provide a richer picture of how each organisation is performing. The new
approach will put the onus on healthcare organisations to make sure they
are meeting standards of performance. The Commission will check up on
self-assessments by analysing information on performance and by talking to
partners and observers.
* National reviews that focus on promoting improvements in services
for specific groups of patients or conditions. For example, a review on
MRSA and infection control in acute trusts will begin this year. Other
reviews will focus on public health, mental health, substance misuse, and
services for children, older people and people with learning disabilities.
* National surveys of staff and patients, both in the NHS and the
independent healthcare sector.
* By 2006/2007, subject to legislation, assessment of both NHS and
independent healthcare according to similar sets of standards.
* Continuing to resolve complaints from patients when local trusts
have not been able to do so and investigate instances of serious failures
in services.
* Making more information available and accessible about what is
going on in healthcare.
Ms Walker said the strategic plan is a result of extensive consultation and
builds on learning from the Commission's first year of existence.
"We are fundamentally reshaping the approach to assessing the performance
of healthcare organisations. Our plans for the next few years should see
better health outcomes and access to services for patients and a
substantial reduction in the cost of inspection and of unnecessary
regulatory burdens on healthcare organisations.
"This is the beginning of an exciting and challenging journey. It will
demand that we work closely with patients, healthcare professions, other
regulatory bodies and the public. We will listen, learn and seek
continuously to improve what we do."

Family income, 2003
For the first time ever, couple families in Oshawa had the highest median
total family income among all census metropolitan areas. The median for
couple families in Oshawa reached $80,300 in 2003, up a slight 0.3% over
2002, after adjusting for inflation. The median is the point where exactly
one half of incomes are higher and one half are lower... SNIP

Healthy, Wealthy, & Fair
Health Care and the Good Society Edited by James A. Morone and Lawrence R.
Jacobs, hardback, 400 pages Mar 2005, $29.95 (01) Shipping Details
Description
"America may be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but its
citizens rank near the bottom in health status. Americans have lower life
expectancy, more infant mortalities and higher adolescent death rates than
most other advanced industrial nations--and even some developing countries.
Though Americans are famous for tolerating great inequality in wealth, the
gross inequities in the health system are less well recognized.. SNIP"
[I am 100 pages into this book and find it such a refreshing change from
the usual US public health books. It takes a strong political economy
perspective and provides insights into the social determinants of health in
the USA, the nature of the health care system, and means of moving forward.
Warning: it is somewhat depressing reading!-dr]

"Fundamental causes" of social inequalities in mortality: a test of the

Abstract
Medicine and epidemiology currently dominate the study of the strong
association between socioeconomic status and mortality. Socioeconomic
status typically is viewed as a causally irrelevant "confounding
variable"
or as a less critical variable marking only the beginning of a causal
chain in which intervening risk factors are given prominence. Yet the
association between socioeconomic status and mortality has persisted
despite radical changes in the diseases and risk factors that are
presumed
to explain it. This suggests that the effect of socioeconomic status on
mortality essentially cannot be understood by reductive explanations
that
focus on current mechanisms. Accordingly, Link and Phelan (1995)
proposed
that socioeconomic status is a "fundamental cause" of mortality
disparities-that socioeconomic disparities endure despite changing
mechanisms because socioeconomic status embodies an array of resources,
such as money, knowledge, prestige, power, and beneficial social
connections, that protect health no matter what mechanisms are relevant
at
any given time. We identified a situation in which resources should be
less helpful in prolonging life, and derived the following prediction
from
the theory: For less preventable causes of death (for which we know
little
about prevention or treatment), socioeconomic status will be less
strongly
associated with mortality than for more preventable causes. We tested
this
hypothesis with the National Longitudinal Mortality Study, which
followed
Current Population Survey respondents (N =3D 370,930) for mortality for
nine
years. Our hypothesis was supported, lending support to the theory of
fundamental causes and more generally to the importance of a
sociological
approach to the study of socioeconomic disparities in mortality.

Social Health and Spiritual Death: Empire, Inequality, and the Costs of War
by Paul Street May 20, 2005
http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=10&ItemID=7902
A shortened version of these comments were delivered to the "Health Not
War Group" at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Nursing on
May 14, 2005
"Thank you for taking time to hear what I have to say about militarism and
its domestic costs. The conflict between military expenditure and social
spending and health in United States (US) history is a richly bipartisan
affair. It became especially prominent during the 1940s, when Democratic
(Roosevelt and Truman) administrations oversaw the rise a "permanent war
economy" and what the Republican President Dwight Eisenhower famously
labeled the "military industrial complex." .. SNIP

Hi
Can I ask for some assistance please?
I was wondering if any Canadians have conducted community consultations? We
are looking for good consultation models to find out what Australian
Families are concerned about?
Regards
Judy Swann

Hi Judy
Our Division, the Saskatchewan Division of the Canadian Cancer Society held
a community consultation we called 'Talking About Cancer' during the summer
& fall 2003 and winter of 2004. The consultations we aimed at ascertaining
the needs of cancer patients and caregivers in the area of information and
support. This process involved, in sequence:
- Focus groups with cancer survivors & caregivers in urban and rural areas.
- Key informant interviews with health professionals
- Community meetings in 21 locations throughout the province, from the very
far north to the more densely populated regions of the south - areas within
and outside
the current reach of the society.
The findings were then reviewed by a gathering of survivors, caregivers,
health professionals, volunteers and staff and prioritized. This
information was then distilled into an action oriented list from which
program delivery options were constructed to meet the identified needs.
There action items were then presented to the volunteer board for review and
approval within budget parameters.
During the current fiscal year, over $500,000 in new initiatives were rolled
out/developed.
Our ultimate goal was to develop support initiatives & cancer information
that met the identified needs of those the organization exists to serve. We
feel we were successful. It is interesting to note that we were as deeply
changed by the process itself as we were by what we heard. By going to
communities where we did not have a presence, listening to people tell us
when we had not been there for them, not becoming defensive and 'excuse
bound', we gained so much. We believe we found a new accountability that we
strive to achieve. For those staff and volunteers directly involved, the
travel to the communities was a life changing experience. Other Divisions
of the CCS have been looking closely at the process and are considering
replicating it.
A copy of the report is available on our website as a PDF. Go to the
Saskatchewan site on cancer.ca and search for 'Talking About Cancer'.
Please feel free to give me a shout if we can be of any help.
Cheers!

Subject: June 1,3 Workshops for Canadian Charitable Agencies - Toronto
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
[This looks especially relevant for agencies wishing to advocate for
health]
Free IMPACS Workshops in Toronto:
A FREE one day workshop for staff and board members of Canadian
charities.
Wednesday, June 1, from 9:00am to 3:30pm
OR
Friday, June 3, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm
The United Way of Greater Toronto
26 Wellington St. East, 11th floor
If your organization has been reluctant to speak to politicians,
write policy papers or get involved in public debates about important
issues for fear of "crossing the line" with the CRA, this workshop is for
you.
We will be in Toronto in early June to offer 2 sessions. We hope you can
join us!
To register for the June 1st session, please visit:
http://www.eplyservices.com/impacs_tor2
To register for the June 3rd session, please visit:
http://www.eplyservices.com/impacs_tor3
This workshop is generously hosted by the United Way of Greater Toronto.
What you will learn:
what your charity can and can't do within the new Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines on "political activities"
how to apply these guidelines to real-life scenarios
how to get (more) involved in shaping the policies that affect
your organization's ability to deliver service and work effectively in your
community
Includes lunch and reference materials.
Facilitator:
Cathy Beaumont, Manager, Charities and Democracy Project

Subject: NYT: School Law Spurs Efforts to End the Minority Gap

Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
By SAM DILLON
Published: May 27, 2005
BOSTON - Spurred by President Bush's No Child Left Behind law, educators
across the nation are putting extraordinary effort into improving the
achievement of minority students, who lag so sharply that by 12th grade,
the average black or Hispanic student can read and do arithmetic only as
well as the average eighth-grade white student... SNIP
... "Social scientists, noting that there is a measurable achievement gap
even as children enter kindergarten, argue that its causes may lie not only
in school policies but in an array of factors that include family income,
parents' educational attainment and health care."... SNIP

Social dynamics of health inequalities: a growth curve analysis of aging
and self assessed health in the British household panel survey 1991-2001
Amanda Sacker, Paul Clarke, Richard D Wiggins, and Mel Bartley
J Epidemiol Community Health 2005;59 495-501
http://jech.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/59/6/495?etoc
Objectives: To study how social inequalities change as people age, this
paper presents a growth curve model of self assessed health, which
accommodates changes in occupational class and individual health with age.
Design: Nationally representative interview based longitudinal survey of
adults in Great Britain.
Setting: Representative members of private households of Great Britain in
1991.
Participants: Survey respondents (n = 6705), aged 21-59 years in 1991 and
followed up annually until 2001.
Main outcome measure: Self assessed health.
Results: On average, self assessed health declines slowly from early
adulthood to retirement age. No significant class differences in health
were observed at age 21. Health inequalities emerged later in life with the
gap between mean levels of self assessed health of those in managerial and
professional occupations and routine occupations widening approaching
retirement. Individual variability in health trajectories increased between
ages 40 and 59 years so that this widening of mean differences between
occupational classes was not significant. When the analysis is confined to
people whose occupational class remained constant over time, a far greater
difference in health trajectories between occupational classes was seen.
Conclusions: The understanding of social inequalities in health at the
population level is enriched by an analysis of individual variation in age
related declines by social position.

The mother of all women's health guides
By KATHLEEN O'GRADY
Saturday, May 28, 2005 Page D11
Our Bodies, Ourselves:
A New Edition for a New Era
Boston Women's Health
Book Collective
Simon & Schuster,
832 pages, $34.50
It has been 35 years since the publication of the first edition of Our
Bodies, Ourselves (OBOS), a comprehensive women's health book that sparked
a movement and changed the way health educators would teach the facts of
life, and more, to new generations of girls and women.
OBOS has since been through numerous revisions and editions, been
translated into 18 languages, including Braille, and sold more than four
million copies worldwide; it has never gone out of print. Adaptations of
OBOS have been launched in such diverse places as Bulgaria, Poland, Serbia,
Senegal, South Korea, Moldova and Latin America (there are no plans for a
Canadian edition).
OBOS could safely, and without exaggeration, be called the Bible of the
women's health movement in North America for many in the 1970s, '80s and
into the '90s, when it finally encountered some competition from other
comprehensive women's health resources that adopted the OBOS model.
I remember well, in my early 20s, borrowing a well-thumbed copy of OBOS
from a friend, who had, in turn, borrowed hers from a friend. I finally
broke down and bought my own copy a few years later, lent it out regularly
for a decade -- and when I was no longer university-poor, bought copies for
each of my sisters, my mother and my closest friends and colleagues for
their birthdays. I wasn't just a fan, I was a convert.
But this is how OBOS got around back then: There were no ads, the
mainstream press largely ignored it, and yet it became a slow, steady
phenomenon and a staple for every woman who wanted to know, with
unapologetic pride and confidence, all there is to know about the workings
of her body.
OBOS began in the 1970s as a collective project by a dozen U.S. feminist
educators who felt that women's health literature needed to be accessible,
balanced and independent, to include the voices and experiences of women,
and to challenge the health disciplines to better serve the needs and
concerns of women. They called themselves the Boston Women's Health Book
Collective.
OBOS was revolutionary then -- and changed the tenor and tone of many
health books to come -- because it dispensed with the weighty technical
jargon and cold diagrams popular with health textbooks and puberty primers
of the time. The "need to know" facts were there, but the voices and
experiences of women were validated in what was at the time a new
pedagogical model of teaching health through personal narratives.
OBOS also highlighted that women's health was more than just boobs and
babies. The collective made sure to include a wide range of women's health
experiences understood in cultural and emotional terms. They also drew on
social determinants of health, such as the ways in which violence, poverty,
gender, ethnicity and other social, occupational and environmental factors
combine to influence health status.
Now, at long last, there is a completely reworked edition for the 21st
century. And just in time, because as important as OBOS was in its
formative decades, it had started to become more than a little out of
fashion for our sex-savvy and cynical postmodern, postfeminist, postpierced
era. The "new age" feminist sentiments and the dusty-looking hippie photos
that permeated the previous editions stale-dated the content for many young
readers, yet the women's health information it contained was as pertinent
as ever.
With this latest edition, the text has been completely overhauled and
updated, many new chapters have been added, and the photos, layout and
design have been redone with a contemporary aesthetic. There is also a
(free) companion website (http://www.ourbodiesourselves.org) to supplement
the more than 800 pages of women's health information in the book.
Health topics include the essentials on body image, violence and abuse,
safe sex, birth control, abortion, childbearing and parenting, among many
other topics, but there is also an added emphasis on new reproductive
technologies, healthy aging, HIV/AIDS, environmental health and sexual
orientation, which marks this edition as timely and current.
The Boston Women's Health Book Collective, with some original members,
continues to oversee the content of OBOS, book and website, with an
editorial team. For this edition they also involved more than 500 advisers,
writers, editors and reviewers from across North America.
You don't often see the "f" word (feminism) in this new volume, though it
still clearly informs the content. Implicit throughout the health
information is a critical assessment of the increasing medicalization of
women's bodies. Some examples: health trends to make menopause a sickness
instead of a natural stage of life; troubling increases in unnecessary
hysterectomy; and concerns about elective C-sections. The editors are
careful to present the debate around these issues with nuance, balance and
lots of evidence.
Gender analyses also help to highlight the inequities in health research
(what and who receives the coveted research dollars; lack of women in
clinical trials), health care (the bulk of paid and unpaid homecare workers
are women) and health policy (few women in the policy and political arena).
Different from previous editions, this new version is much more diverse
with the kinds of women it represents in voice and picture: Different ages
and ethnicities are there, but equally important, different "social types"
are present: punks, dykes, soccer moms, fashionistas, power suits and
jocks. The effect is not one of tokenism, but a representative swath of
women from any city in North America. This, along with the book's new.
slimmer size and design, make it look younger, hipper and more worldly than
its previous incarnations.
Just as it did in 1970, when it first appeared, OBOS has set the gold
standard for women's health information. There is still no other book that
has as much depth, span and insight, in as clear and uninhibited fashion,
and with an independent voice, on women's health issues. OBOS, 35 years on,
has aged beautifully.
Kathleen O'Grady is a research associate at the Simone de Beauvoir
Institute, Concordia University, and the director of communications for the
Canadian Women's Health Network. (She served as a reader for two chapters
in the new OBOS.)

health books to come -- because it dispensed with the weighty technical
jargon and cold diagrams popular with health textbooks and puberty primers
of the time. The "need to know" facts were there, but the voices and
experiences of women were validated in what was at the time a new
pedagogical model of teaching health through personal narratives.
OBOS also highlighted that women's health was more than just boobs and
babies. The collective made sure to include a wide range of women's health
experiences understood in cultural and emotional terms. They also drew on
social determinants of health, such as the ways in which violence, poverty,
gender, ethnicity and other social, occupational and environmental factors
combine to influence health status.
Now, at long last, there is a completely reworked edition for the 21st
century. And just in time, because as important as OBOS was in its
formative decades, it had started to become more than a little out of
fashion for our sex-savvy and cynical postmodern, postfeminist, postpierced
era. The "new age" feminist sentiments and the dusty-looking hippie photos
that permeated the previous editions stale-dated the content for many young
readers, yet the women's health information it contained was as pertinent
as ever.
With this latest edition, the text has been completely overhauled and
updated, many new chapters have been added, and the photos, layout and
design have been redone with a contemporary aesthetic. There is also a
(free) companion website (http://www.ourbodiesourselves.org) to supplement
the more than 800 pages of women's health information in the book.
Health topics include the essentials on body image, violence and abuse,
safe sex, birth control, abortion, childbearing and parenting, among many
other topics, but there is also an added emphasis on new reproductive
technologies, healthy aging, HIV/AIDS, environmental health and sexual
orientation, which marks this edition as timely and current.
The Boston Women's Health Book Collective, with some original members,
continues to oversee the content of OBOS, book and website, with an
editorial team. For this edition they also involved more than 500 advisers,
writers, editors and reviewers from across North America.
You don't often see the "f" word (feminism) in this new volume, though it
still clearly informs the content. Implicit throughout the health
information is a critical assessment of the increasing medicalization of
women's bodies. Some examples: health trends to make menopause a sickness
instead of a natural stage of life; troubling increases in unnecessary
hysterectomy; and concerns about elective C-sections. The editors are
careful to present the debate around these issues with nuance, balance and
lots of evidence.
Gender analyses also help to highlight the inequities in health research
(what and who receives the coveted research dollars; lack of women in
clinical trials), health care (the bulk of paid and unpaid homecare workers
are women) and health policy (few women in the policy and political arena).
Different from previous editions, this new version is much more diverse
with the kinds of women it represents in voice and picture: Different ages
and ethnicities are there, but equally important, different "social types"
are present: punks, dykes, soccer moms, fashionistas, power suits and
jocks. The effect is not one of tokenism, but a representative swath of
women from any city in North America. This, along with the book's new.
slimmer size and design, make it look younger, hipper and more worldly than
its previous incarnations.
Just as it did in 1970, when it first appeared, OBOS has set the gold
standard for women's health information. There is still no other book that
has as much depth, span and insight, in as clear and uninhibited fashion,
and with an independent voice, on women's health issues. OBOS, 35 years on,
has aged beautifully.
Kathleen O'Grady is a research associate at the Simone de Beauvoir
Institute, Concordia University, and the director of communications for the
Canadian Women's Health Network. (She served as a reader for two chapters
in the new OBOS.)

Naming The Problem
By David Miller and Gill Hubbard
www.spinwatch.org
Everyone, even the most die-hard defender of the established order
recognizes that we face serious social and environmental problems. The news
media regularly circulate the latest figures on the latest social problems.
The country with the worst pollution, highest infant mortality, lowest life
expectancy, epidemic rates of drug abuse, poverty, anti-social behaviour.
But the mainstream media, popular debate and elite discussion treat these -
at best- as a procession of seemingly unrelated and inexplicable facts and
events. At worst the tendency is to suggest that whatever the problem -
racism, obesity, unemployment, famine, war - that the people affected are
in some way culpable. If in doubt, blame the victim... SNIP

Subject: Child poverty and changes in child poverty in rich countries
since 1990
Comments: To: [log in to unmask]

Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Child poverty and changes in child poverty in rich countries since 1990
This paper documents levels and changes in child poverty rates in 12 OECD
countries using data from the Luxembourg Income Study project, and focusing
upon an analysis of the reasons for changes over the 1990s. The objective
is to uncover the relative role of income transfers from the state in
determining the magnitude and direction of change in child poverty rates,
holding other demographic and labour market factors constant. As such the
paper offers a cross-country overview of child poverty, changes in child
poverty and the impact of public policy in North America and Europe. The
paper offers a set of country specific results, and also attempts to draw
general lessons
Principles and practicalities in measuring child poverty for the rich
countries
This paper has three objectives. The first is to discuss the major issues
involved in defining and measuring child poverty. I clarify the choices
that must be made, and state a set of six principles to serve as a guide
for public policy. The second objective is to take stock of child poverty
and changes in child poverty in the majority of OECD countries since about
1990 when the Convention on the Rights of the Child came into force.
Finally, the third objective is to formulate a number of suggestions for
the setting of credible targets for the elimination of child poverty in the
rich countries.
The impact of tax and transfer systems on children in the European Union
The objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of fiscal policy on
the economic resources available to children, and on the child poverty
rate. A static microsimulation model specifically designed for the purposes
of comparative fiscal analysis in the European Union, EUROMOD, is used to
study the age incidence of government taxes and transfers in 2001 in 15 EU
countries.
Summary report of the study on the impact of the implementation of the
Convention on the Rights of the Child
The reports of the CRC Implementation Report will further develop a UNICEF
IRC study on the impact of the Convention on the Rights of Child which aims
to promote the universal realization of children's rights by documenting,
analyzing and reflecting on positives experiences with, together with
challenges to the implementation of the CRC. It addresses areas where the
potential of the treaty can be maximized, to advance the cause of
children's rights and support UNICEF agenda, as defined in its Medium Term
Strategic Plan

Subject: Uncovering Sex and Gender Differences in Use Patterns of
Self-Help/Support Groups
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
Self-help/support groups have gained in popularity since the 1970s and are
an important component of the health system linked with health promotion,
social support, and empowerment of participants. Research about sex and
gender differences in the utilization and value of self-help/support groups
is inadequate. The literature is predominantly gender neutral, limiting the
effective uptake of knowledge by practitioners and participants in these
groups.
The broad term "self help/support" group covers different types of groups
including those run without professional assistance, emotional support
groups, self-care interventions, groups facilitated by health professionals,
online groups, empowerment groups, sport/physical activity groups and skills
based groups like community kitchens. Utilization of different types of
groups may be linked to sex and gender differences or preferences.
One component of this project, sponsored by the Prairie Women's Health
Centre of Excellence (PWHCE) and the Canadian Women's Health Network (CWHN)
and funded by the CIHR Gender and Health Institute, is a literature review
using sex and gender differences as a key variable. We are also seeking
stories of what self-help/support groups are currently doing to address sex
and gender differences. Do you know of groups that work differently for
different sexes, or groups that address issues differently for different
genders? Please let us know about your work. Contact Robin Barnett at

We have been selected to present a poster presentation at this conference in
Brisbane. Unfortunately, we have absolutely no funding to get there and are
having to turn down the opportunity. It is a real shame because we
represent a Canadian rural perspective in responding to poverty and
homelessness, 2 of the social determinants of health. If anyone has a
sponsor to get our rep to Australia we would be humbly greatful. Debra
Whitman, Coordinator, Stepping Stones for Success, Homeless Shelter,
Nelson, B.C.

"Minister Bennett and Manitoba Minister of Healthy Living, Theresa Oswa=

are conducting a series of similar

[I would prefer her title be "Manitoba Minister of Healthy Living
Conditions" - dr]
Attention News Editors:
Federal and provincial ministers convene local consultations to examine=
Public Health Goals for Canada
WHITEHORSE, May 30 /CNW Telbec/ - Federal Minister of State (Public=
Health) Carolyn Bennett and Yukon Health and Social Services Minister,
Peter
Jenkins, will hold a public health goals consultation today at the High=
Country Inn in B Room at 4051, 4th Avenue from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The ministers will convene roundtable discussions with local public=
health stakeholders, experts and concerned citizens to examine how publ=
ic
health goals should be established in Canada. Minister Bennett and Mani=
toba
Minister of Healthy Living, Theresa Oswald, are conducting a series of
similar
consultation roundtables across the country in an effort to make Canada=
the
healthiest country in the world.
At the First Ministers' Meeting in September 2004, the prime minist=
er
and
the premiers signed a 10-year action plan to pursue better health care =
for
all
Canadians. Part of this plan included a commitment to establish health
goals
to improve the health of Canadians and reduce the pressure on the healt=
h
care
system.
"Keeping as many Canadians healthy for as long as possible means
looking
beyond health departments to broader determinants of health, such as
poverty,
violence, environment, shelter, education and equity," said Minister
Bennett.
"Involving Canadians in this process will ensure the goals we set will =
be
relevant and responsive to increase our understanding of the complexity=
of
health."
Federal, provincial and territorial governments have agreed to work=
together to improve the health status of Canadians by developing public=
health
goals. The goal-setting exercise will demonstrate work being done by al=
l
jurisdictions and provide a framework to help align efforts. Provincial=
and
territorial health ministers will appoint representatives to a referenc=
e
group
to synthesize the roundtable results.
"The Government of Yukon believes it is important to establish a so=
lid
set of public health goals," said Minister Jenkins. "Yukon has garnered=
a
great reputation for its public health services. We are pleased to host=
this
ground-breaking roundtable discussion in this territory to ask how
Canadians
can pursue healthy practices before they get sick."
Many provincial and territorial governments have identified public
health
goals for their jurisdictions. This process will build on this work and=
utilize the experience and knowledge of other countries that have
established
public health goals elsewhere.
"Only we can decide what the appropriate public health goals are fo=
r
Canadians in the 21st century and the best approaches for arriving at
them,"
said Minister Oswald. "It is clear that whatever goals we finally adopt=
,
all
sectors of society must be intricately involved in the process and thei=
r
adoption for them to be endorsed by Canadians."
The consultations include roundtable meetings in each province and
territory. Ministers Bennett and Oswald will host the roundtables with
25-35
public health stakeholders. Roundtables were held in western Canada thr=
ough
Ontario in early April and they continued in the four Atlantic's Provin=
ces
at
the end of April.
A series of events will also be hosted across the country on specif=
ic
public health themes that relate to the six new National Collaborating
Centres
for Public Health, as well as a possible youth summit.
A summary of this roundtable and others will be posted on the Publi=
c
Health Goals for Canada web site at www.healthycanadians.ca . Additiona=
l
information and an electronic survey on the Canada-wide consultation
process
are available on the web site, giving Canadians the opportunity to beco=
me
directly involved in the process.
Elected officials, community groups and non-governmental organizati=
ons
will also be provided with a public health goals consultation activity
guide
so they can host roundtables within their own communities.

*****************************************
Thirsting for health
ELAINE CAREY
MEDICAL REPORTER
When it comes to nurturing a balanced lifestyle, parts of Toronto are =
growing decidedly arid
The erosion begins when grocery stores move out and the fast food moves =
in, writes Elaine Carey
=09
Queen and Sherbourne is a desolate place.=20
On the northeast corner, a large boarded-up brick building serves as a =
magnet for prostitutes and drug dealers who use the barren sidewalk to =
conduct their business.
The building used to house a Valu-mart, a grocery store operated by =
Loblaws.
Now it's the centre of the worst "food desert" in all of Toronto, says =
Wayne Roberts, project co-ordinator for the Toronto Food Policy Council.
You can go in any direction and "not find a food store anywhere," he =
says, even though the area is largely made up of seniors and low earners =
who don't have a car to drive to one.
Grocery stores draw a range of people to a neighbourhood. Without them, =
Roberts says, they deteriorate.=20
When the Valu-mart was there, "a mom and her young kid might be walking =
up the street and as a consequence, there was a certain civility to how =
the street functioned," he explains.
"Now it's just a hooker street and a drug street and you can largely =
lay the total degeneration of that street on the absence of a food =
store." As well, the lack of a good local grocery is an underlying cause =
of a host of health problems, experts say.
Last week, a group of non-profit organizations, including Toronto =
Public Health and St. Michael's Hospital, launched a new website =
offering health information for 140 neighbourhoods on a range of topics, =
including the walking and transit distance to grocery stores, as well as =
convenience stores and fast food outlets.
It shows food deserts have developed in the north-central part of =
Toronto as well as in the northeast and northwest areas of the city.
Big grocers say the data is based on 2001 figures and that more stores =
have been opened since then. But food and lifestyle analysts say little =
has changed regarding access to healthy eating across the city.=20
"With obesity the new tobacco - our latest major health risk - it's =
important if as a society we're going to take it seriously to look at a =
neighbourhood's access to healthy food," says Dr. Rick Glazier of the =
Centre for Research on Inner City Health at St. Michael's.=20
"If you don't have any place in your neighbourhood that you can get =
fresh fruit and vegetables - and our maps show there are many places in =
the city it takes more than 30 minutes each way to get to a grocery =
store - that means your access to healthy foods is actually quite =
limited if you don't have a car," he says.
"If low-income people and seniors can't walk to get the healthy, =
nutritious food they need, they're vulnerable to obesity, diabetes and a =
range of other health problems."
Food stores are one aspect of a healthy neighbourhood, sitting =
somewhere between population characteristics like socio-economic status =
and immigration and health outcomes like low birth weight and teen =
births, he says.
A map of grocery stores doesn't completely match the map of =
socio-economic status but a lot of low-income areas don't have them.
"It doesn't exactly follow poverty but there's still a worry about =
that," Glazier says. "If you're opening bigger and bigger stores, there =
are fewer of them and they tend to be further away from where people =
live."
When people can't get to a grocery store, they turn to convenience =
stores, forcing them to eat more packaged and processed foods, fewer =
fruits and vegetables and pay more for it, he says.=20
And fast food restaurants quickly become the cheap, quick alternative. =
The maps show they are within a short walking distance of almost every =
area of the city.=20
A study this month from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences =
found that neighbourhoods across Ontario with the highest number of fast =
food outlets also had higher death and heart attack rates. The study =
matched postal codes with the number of fast food outlets but didn't =
pinpoint where the neighbourhoods were located.=20
John Anderson, research director of the Canadian Council on Social =
Development, says Toronto has developed into a two-tier system - those =
who can afford a car and those who can't.=20
Many of the new poverty areas are in sections of Scarborough and North =
York that were designed for middle-class residents with cars, not for =
poorer people who have to walk and rely on public transit, he says.=20
The growing gentrification of parts of downtown Toronto, turning old =
rooming houses into single-family homes, has pushed the poor into the =
inner suburbs of Scarborough and Etobicoke, which never did have =
neighbourhood grocery stores.=20
Don Mills Rd. and Eglinton Ave. - one of the city's poorest =
neighbourhoods - has "all kinds of plazas but people don't have cars to =
get to them," Anderson says.=20
The old city of Scarborough has endured an astounding 136.6 per cent =
increase in the number of poor families in the past two decades, =
according to a United Way report last year.=20
But once a neighbourhood is established, no one is responsible for =
ensuring that it has the services it needs, Anderson says, even though =
"things like grocery stores and banks may be as important as schools and =
government services."
Roberts is the only staff member on the 14-year-old food policy =
council, a committee of the board of health. Made up of private =
citizens, the council supports community groups and social agencies that =
work to ensure food security for all Torontonians.
In 2001 it got Toronto politicians to pass a Food Charter, which states =
that council will "champion the right of all residents to adequate =
amounts of safe, nutritious, culturally acceptable food" without the =
need to go to food banks.
The following year, a Pedestrian Charter was unveiled. Among its =
provisions is the principle that "walking is a free and direct means of =
assessing local services," including food.

Toronto is very good at policy, says Roberts, but it doesn't seem to =
translate it into action.
"This city has done more for food than any city in North America and =
it's doing next to nothing," he says.
The problem isn't an easy one. Grocery chains, for economic reasons, =
may close smaller, neighbourhood stores and build superstores much =
further away.=20
Nobody can force them to keep a store open - or to move a store into a =
neighbourhood that needs one.
Janice Etter, chair of the food council, used to be able to walk to her =
local grocery store in Etobicoke in the Berry Rd. Plaza in three =
minutes. But the strip mall was torn down and replaced by townhouses.
Now, she says, it's easier for her to take public transit downtown to =
Spadina Ave. and Bloor St. to buy food than it is to go anywhere in her =
neighbourhood where there's a grocery store. Or else take her car.=20
"I would have to take a bus and a subway and a bus, and it would take =
at least an hour," she says. "I think that's shocking."
Planners have to ensure there is water, shelter and sewage when they =
build a new subdivision, she says, "but nowhere does anyone say we =
really have a legal responsibility to make sure people have access to =
food. The dilemma is the city can't tell stores where to go. You can't =
say, `There has to be a food store here because this is an area that =
doesn't have one. Put in your bids.' It doesn't work that way."
While there have been attempts to talk to the food chains about moving =
back into an area, "they say they weren't making enough money out of =
that location," she says. "The bottom line is, food is a commodity but =
it's part of the marketplace and the market dictates where food stores =
locate. If they can build a big box outlet to keep the price down, =
that's what they do."
Kim McKinnon, vice-president of communications for the Canadian Council =
of Grocery Distributors, which represents Loblaws, Dominion, Sobey's and =
other chains, denies there is any move to close smaller stores.
"We are present in every community in the city," she says. "I haven't =
seen anywhere where there hasn't been growth since 2001 (when the data =
was collected)."
The size of the store depends on the neighbourhood, she says.=20
"We want to be able to reach as many people as possible. There's not a =
trend at all to opening bigger stores. Each store is tailored to the =
neighbourhood. You may have smaller stores in the downtown area and =
bigger stores in the suburbs."
If residents have trouble getting groceries without a car, they should =
talk to the store manager, she says, because some stores will arrange to =
have them delivered.
Councillor Shelley Carroll has watched five food stores close down in =
her ward at Don Mills Rd. and Sheppard Ave., the area she grew up in and =
now represents. There are none left in an area with a high percentage of =
seniors and low-income people.
"I have kids in my ward in public housing who have Pringles and milk =
for breakfast," she says. "They go to Shoppers Drug Mart and that's what =
they can get."=20
She tried to have a bylaw passed forcing builders to ensure there is a =
food store in any new housing development but it was turned back. Now =
she is working on a proposal to ask the province to include food stores =
as infrastructure, making it a requirement in all new developments.
"It's that kind of really thoughtful planning that makes sense," she =
says.=20
The city did include a provision in the new official plan for food =
stores in neighbourhoods, provided they are on arterial streets, and =
grandfathers existing ones on smaller streets, said city planner Paul =
Bain. It was "very explicitly" included so that people wouldn't have to =
take their cars to buy groceries.
"The opportunity is presented in the official plan but nobody can force =
somebody to open a supermarket," he says.=20
"You can do everything to encourage them. I've tried to show them there =
is a market here and I have in my life made the trek out to Etobicoke to =
Dominion and IGA headquarters. And I can confirm they will do in the end =
what's in their best interest."
But Roberts says planners "don't understand food, they don't know =
anything about food. They will say, `You can't have a neighbourhood =
without sidewalks, you can't have a neighbourhood without community =
centres but you can have a neighbourhood without a grocery store because =
that's the private sector.'
"But the city has lots of ways to get things done - that's why it's so =
frustrating."=20
Under the Planning Act, the city can tell a developer that a certain =
amount of space has to be reserved for child care or make them donate =
money for swings in the local park, he says.=20
"It gives them that ability to negotiate, so why not say to them, `How =
about providing a tuck shop with fresh fruits and vegetables?' That's =
one avenue. You don't have to change the whole bloody world."
But the issue is not even on the city agenda, he says.
"It's so obviously a case of preventive medicine, if having good =
quality grocery stores with fresh fruits and vegetables that are =
reasonably priced, where there are lots of seniors prevents one person =
from getting diabetes."
And there are the urban implications.
"It's just so ABC that a food store is essential to a mixed =
neighbourhood because it brings a wide mix of people," Roberts says. =
"Everyone knows when you have an at-risk neighbourhood where there's =
shootings and violence, it's because it's not mixed. So why wouldn't we =
do something about the core institution of a mixed neighbourhood, which =
is a food store?
"The consequences of not doing these humdrum things is that it erupts =
later in a shooting and then they respond to the shooting, not the basic =
problem," Roberts says.
"I want someone to say this is a big issue. I want someone to resolve =
it because it's costing a lot of money not to resolve it."

Thirsting for health
ELAINE CAREY
MEDICAL REPORTER
When it comes to nurturing a balanced lifestyle, parts of Toronto are =
growing decidedly arid
The erosion begins when grocery stores move out and the fast food =
moves in, writes Elaine Carey
=09
Queen and Sherbourne is a desolate place.=20
=09
On the northeast corner, a large boarded-up brick building serves as a =
magnet for prostitutes and drug dealers who use the barren sidewalk to =
conduct their business.
The building used to house a Valu-mart, a grocery store operated by =
Loblaws.
Now it's the centre of the worst "food desert" in all of Toronto, says =
Wayne Roberts, project co-ordinator for the Toronto Food Policy Council.
You can go in any direction and "not find a food store anywhere," he =
says, even though the area is largely made up of seniors and low earners =
who don't have a car to drive to one.
Grocery stores draw a range of people to a neighbourhood. Without =

Obesity: An Overblown Epidemic?
A growing number of dissenting researchers accuse government and medical=20
authorities--as well as the media--of misleading the public about the=20
health consequences of rising body weights
By W. Wayt Gibbs
Could it be that excess fat is not, by itself, a serious health risk for=20
the vast majority of people who are overweight or obese--categories that in=
=20
the U.S. include about six of every 10 adults? Is it possible that urging=20
the overweight or mildly obese to cut calories and lose weight may actually=
=20
do more harm than good?
Such notions defy conventional wisdom that excess adiposity kills more than=
=20
300,000 Americans a year and that the gradual fattening of nations since=20
the 1980s presages coming epidemics of diabetes, cardiovascular disease,=20
cancer and a host of other medical consequences. Indeed, just this past=20
March the New England Journal of Medicine presented a "Special Report," by=
=20
S. Jay Olshansky, David B. Allison and others that seemed to confirm such=20
fears. The authors asserted that because of the obesity epidemic, "the=20
steady rise in life expectancy during the past two centuries may soon come=
=20
to an end." Articles about the special report by the New York Times, the=20
Washington Post and many other news outlets emphasized its forecast that=20
obesity may shave up to five years off average life spans in coming decades.
And yet an increasing number of scholars have begun accusing obesity=20
experts, public health officials and the media of exaggerating the health=20
effects of the epidemic of overweight and obesity. The charges appear in a=
=20
recent flurry of scholarly books, including The Obesity Myth, by Paul F.=20
Campos (Gotham Books, 2004); The Obesity Epidemic: Science, Morality and=20
Ideology, by Michael Gard and Jan Wright (Routledge, 2005); Obesity: The=20
Making of an American Epidemic, by J. Eric Oliver (Oxford University Press,=
=20
August 2005); and a book on popular misconceptions about diet and weight=20
gain by Barry Glassner (to be published in 2006 by HarperCollins).
These critics, all academic researchers outside the medical community, do=20
not dispute surveys that find the obese fraction of the population to have=
=20
roughly doubled in the U.S. and many parts of Europe since 1980. And they=20
acknowledge that obesity, especially in its extreme forms, does seem to be=
=20
a factor in some illnesses and premature deaths.
They allege, however, that experts are blowing hot air when they warn that=
=20
overweight and obesity are causing a massive, and worsening, health crisis.=
=20
They scoff, for example, at the 2003 assertion by Julie L. Gerberding,=20
director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that "if you=20
looked at any epidemic--whether it's influenza or plague from the Middle=20
Ages--they are not as serious as the epidemic of obesity in terms of the=20
health impact on our country and our society." (An epidemic of influenza=20
killed 40 million people worldwide between 1918 and 1919, including 675,000=
=20
in the U.S.)
What is really going on, asserts Oliver, a political scientist at the=20
University of Chicago, is that "a relatively small group of scientists and=
=20
doctors, many directly funded by the weight-loss industry, have created an=
=20
arbitrary and unscientific definition of overweight and obesity. They have=
=20
inflated claims and distorted statistics on the consequences of our growing=
=20
weights, and they have largely ignored the complicated health realities=20
associated with being fat."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
The overweight segment of the "epidemic of overweight and obesity" is more=
=20
likely reducing death rates than boosting them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
One of those complicated realities, concurs Campos, a professor of law at=20
the University of Colorado at Boulder, is the widely accepted evidence that=
=20
genetic differences account for 50 to 80 percent of the variation in=20
fatness within a population. Because no safe and widely practical methods=20
have been shown to induce long-term loss of more than about 5 percent of=20
body weight, Campos says, "health authorities are giving people=20
advice--maintain a body mass index in the 'healthy weight' range--that is=20
literally impossible for many of them to follow." Body mass index, or BMI,=
=20
is a weight-to-height ratio.
By exaggerating the risks of fat and the feasibility of weight loss, Campos=
=20
and Oliver claim, the CDC, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services=
=20
and the World Health Organization inadvertently perpetuate stigma,=20
encourage unbalanced diets and, perhaps, even exacerbate weight gain. "The=
=20
most perverse irony is that we may be creating a disease simply by labeling=
=20
it as such," Campos states.

Campos: A weighty matter
Latest study merely confirms fat haters' arguments flabby
May 14, 2005
The claim that "overweight" and "obesity," so-called, represent a public
health crisis has always been a pseudo-scientific house of cards, waiting
to be knocked down by the lightest touch. Now that this house is
collapsing, we're being treated to the amusing spectacle of diet doctors
and their journalistic hangers-on frantically distorting the evidence that
demolishes this claim, in a desperate attempt to retain some sort of
scientific credibility for their extremely profitable enterprise... SNIP
