To multiple users of Click 4HP, The Heart Health Nova Scotia team is pleased to be part of this communication vehicle and we look forward to the discussion and the networking opportunities the listserv will obviously provide. Now for some background! Heart Health Nova Scotia is part of the Canadian Heart Health Initiative. We have completed our first phase of research - namely the Demonstration Phase- and have recently been funded by NHRDP and Nova Scotia Department of Health to conduct the second phase - focused on dissemination research. Our research interests are in the area of community activation, technical support/ capacity building, organizational change and coalition development - to name a few! Now for my request! Those of you who work with communities will know that it is important to have examples of effective programs and activities at the ready when community members or organizations identify their interest and need to focus on a certain issue. We can predict what some of these requests will be but there will be many areas where a search will have to be initiated to find appropriate materials. Is this listserv an appropriate place to launch a "call for assistance" for resource acquisition? I'd appreciate your thoughts.
