Webinar: Communicating data for health equity action
This webinar took place in English.
A Public Health and Preventive Medicine (PHPM) webinar hosted by the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health
Population health status or community assessment reports represent data that has been collected, analyzed and presented to describe the health of a group, community or geographical area. Population health status reports (PHSR) can inform what practitioners and decision-makers need to know to allocate resources as well as plan programs and services.
Because of this purpose, communication is a critical component of how knowledge mobilization happens in equity-integrated population health status reporting. Communicating PHSR data effectively means making sure that audiences — including decision- and policy-makers — have current information presented in a way that makes it useable to influence programs and priorities. Data can be produced and communicated in ways that appeal to different audiences and bring attention to the underlying reasons that contribute to health inequities across the population.
Communicating health equity data
This English-language webinar focused on communicating health equity data to public health decision-makers who address population health inequities. Strategies for framing health equity data to highlight the root causes of inequities were presented, as well as approaches to knowledge translation and mobilization in the health status reporting of data relating to the social determinants of health.
Listeners will learn about
- health equity indicators and how to integrate into health status reporting
- practices for knowledge mobilization and communication of health equity data; and
- ways to frame data to highlight the root causes of health inequities.
This webinar can support the fulfillment of Medical Officer of Health competencies, especially “monitoring and assessing the health of the public” and “communication, collaboration, and advocacy for the public’s health.”
