Let’s start a conversation about health… and not talk about health care at all
Cette ressource est également disponible en français.
“Let's Start a Conversation About Health … and Not Talk About Health Care at All” are social media videos that describe how social and economic conditions influence health. The video was first developed by Sudbury & District Health Unit (SDHU) and has been adapted by other regions (including Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit, Niagara Region Public Health Unit and Peterborough County-City Health Unit). SDHU created a user guide (2011) to support and engage individuals and organization as they start their own conversations about health. These videos illustrate how public health organizations are engaging with community members, talking about the social determinants of health, and sharing innovative practices.
In 2011-12, the Health Equity Office of the SDHU carried out a process evaluation of the Let’s Start a Conversation resources. The evaluation findings were intended to guide SDHU’s future use of these resources as well as shape other ongoing efforts aimed at building understanding and action around the social determinants of health.
