Citizen Engagement in Evidence-informed Policy-making - Launch of the WHO Overview Document and Mini-Publics Guide

This webinar is presented by the World Health Organization.

How to make evidence-informed policies more responsive to citizens’ needs and values?

Citizens have a vital role to play in shaping health policies that affect their lives. By engaging them in evidence-informed deliberation, policy-makers can gain insights into their perspectives, preferences, and experiences. This can lead to more effective, equitable, and acceptable health policies, especially in times of crisis.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently published two new resources to support citizen engagement in evidence-informed decision-making in the health field. The first one is an overview document that introduces the concept and principles of citizen engagement and its benefits and challenges. The second one is a guide on how to organize mini-publics, a specific form of citizen engagement that involves a representative sample of citizens in structured and facilitated discussions on a policy issue.

Mini-publics are forums that include a cross-section of the population selected through civic lottery to participate in evidence-informed deliberation in order to inform policy and action. They can be organized for a range of purposes and at different stages of the policy process, such as generating policy ideas, assessing options, designing interventions, or evaluating policy action. They can also address dilemmas, uncertainties, and trade-offs that arise in complex and contested policy issues.

In this webinar, you will learn more about these two innovative resources and how they can help you design and implement mini-publics in your context. You will also have the opportunity to interact with the authors and the external editorial board of the documents, as well as hear about their experiences and lessons learned from applying mini-publics in different settings and stages of the policy process.

Hypertension: A New Quality Standard for High-Quality Care in Ontario

This webinar is presented by Ontario Health.

Ontario Health released an updated Hypertension quality standard in February 2024. This webinar will introduce the new standard and highlight important opportunities to improve care for people with hypertension in Ontario. Hypertension is the most common modifiable risk factor for death or disability, and two-thirds of people in Ontario aged 65 years and older had a diagnosis of hypertension in 2021. Ontario data show that to improve patient outcomes, better care is needed for people with hypertension. The quality standard describes seven key opportunities to improve care.

This one-credit-per-hour Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to six Mainpro+® credits.

For questions, please contact: qualitystandards@ontariohealth.ca

#Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Better understand what Ontario Health Quality Standards are, how and why they are developed, and where to access them.
  2. Recognize the seven key areas for improvement for hypertension care in Ontario.
  3. Access essential tools and resources to empower clinicians, patients and care partners to better manage hypertension.
  4. Identify opportunities to implement the Hypertension quality standard to improve care for people with a hypertension diagnosis or at risk of developing hypertension.

Mois de l’histoire des Noirs 2024 : Apprentissage, écoute et action pour la santé et le bien-être des Noirs

Date: 
le Vendredi 16 Février 2024

Chaque février, alors que nous faisons une pause pour laisser place à la réflexion, à la commémoration et à l’écoute pendant le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs, nous sommes invités dans un espace pour reconnaître le passé et en tenir compte. Nous en profitons pour faire un bilan du présent, et rêver à un avenir équitable et juste pour les personnes et les communautés noires au Canada, le planifier et nous engager à ce qu’il devienne une réalité.

L’écoute et la création d’espaces pour faire part de récits de lutte, de résilience et de triomphes, qu’ils soient personnels, familiaux ou communautaires, contribuent à mieux comprendre les enjeux. Le racisme envers les Noirs est toujours présent dans les systèmes et chez les personnes de notre société et dans nos structures. La vie et la santé des personnes noires sont aujourd’hui plus à risque en raison du racisme, de la discrimination, de l’ignorance et de l’apathie, y compris le racisme intégré et caché dans les systèmes de santé, d’éducation, de justice et de police de l’Ontario et d’ailleurs au Canada.

Au cours des derniers mois, l’Alliance a visité l’Ontario Black History Society et fait une tournée. On a appris davantage au sujet des origines du racisme envers les Noirs dans le logement et le zonage de la province, et sur le legs de plaidoyer et d’activisme créé par les personnes noires en Ontario, notamment pour le mouvement ouvrier, les arts, le gouvernement et l’enseignement supérieur.

Nous sommes également reconnaissants d’avoir passé du temps au début du Mois de l’histoire des Noirs avec Elise Harding-Davis, membre du conseil d’administration de l’Alliance, auteure, historienne, consultante en patrimoine africain canadien et lauréate de l’Ordre de l’Ontario. Son histoire personnelle et familiale de Canadienne de septième génération d’origine africaine donne vie à la libération des Noirs et à leur contribution à l’histoire canadienne.

Harding-Davis est également présidente de l’équipe de santé familiale du Centre de santé de Harrow. Elle nous a plongé dans le monde de l’histoire des Noirs et dans une vie dévouée à l’éducation et à la rectification de l’effacement et du blanchiment de l’histoire et des vies noires par le Canada colonial. Elle a également souligné le lien entre la santé et le bien-être des personnes noires, et le leadership et le courage nécessaires pour lutter contre des siècles de racisme, changer les systèmes et rétablir l’histoire des Noirs comme faisant partie intégrante de l’histoire du Canada; quels que soient les obstacles et la fragilité blanche rencontrés en cours de route. Ses efforts de plaidoyer se poursuivent, comme le relate cet article récent de Radio-Canada, réclamant des excuses officielles du gouvernement du Canada pour l’esclavage dans ce pays.

Dans cet esprit, pendant ce Mois de l’histoire des Noirs, nous continuons à écouter les récits et à nous y intéresser, pour apprendre des expériences, et pour suivre et souligner les progrès réalisés en matière de santé des Noirs.

L’Ontario dispose désormais d’un Plan sur la santé des personnes noires. C’est le fruit d’un effort conjoint de nombreux responsables de la santé des personnes noires, dont des membres de l’Alliance qui collaborent avec Santé Ontario et le ministère de la Santé pour que la province soutienne les efforts nécessaires visant à réduire les disparités en matière de santé auxquelles font face les personnes et les communautés noires, et à s’attaquer aux obstacles systémiques qui perpétuent le racisme envers les Noirs. Le travail du Comité de la santé des Noirs et de sa Stratégie pour la santé des Noirs sera un complément à ces efforts. Nous savons qu’il est impossible de changer le passé, mais si nous voulons un nouveau présent, nous devons regarder vers l’avenir. Il est donc encourageant de voir le gouvernement de l’Ontario exiger l’apprentissage de l’histoire des Noirs dans les écoles publiques.

En mars, le mois commencera par la Semaine de la santé mentale des Noirs (du 4 au 10 mars), et du 20 au 22 mars, le Centre de santé communautaire TAIBU organisera la Conférence nationale annuelle 2024 « Agir maintenant! » sur la santé mentale et le bien-être des Noirs. Cette conférence fait partie du programme Amandla Olwazi « Le pouvoir de la connaissance » de TAIBU. S’appuyant sur les recherches existantes sur le racisme envers les Noirs et son impact au Canada, le projet sensibilise à l’impact du racisme sur la santé mentale et le bien-être des communautés noires.

Le travail se poursuit à l’Alliance pour favoriser la santé mentale des Noirs par le projet de prescription sociale à leur intention. Quatre CSC élaborent un modèle de prescription sociale reposant sur les valeurs et les principes noirs et afrocentriques, en mettant l’accent sur le soutien aux familles et aux enfants. Ces efforts visent à garantir que la prescription sociale tienne compte des valeurs culturelles et à décoloniser certains aspects du système de soins de santé pour améliorer les résultats de santé de cette population en Ontario.

Ce travail nécessite l’utilisation des valeurs de Kwanza pour son orientation, pour un travail collectif et pour une réflexion sérieuse relativement aux aiguillages pour s’assurer qu’ils sont affirmatifs sur le plan culturel. Une évaluation par recherche participative est réalisée en partenariat avec Logical Outcomes et Transform Practice, deux entreprises d’évaluation dirigées par des Noirs.

Alors que la Décennie internationale des personnes d’ascendance africaine tire à sa fin en 2024, de nouveaux outils, comme le Cadre en matière d’équité, d’inclusion, de diversité et d’anti-racisme de Santé Ontario, sont mis en ligne et leur mise en application est de plus en plus répandue dans nos systèmes de santé et systèmes sociaux. Les membres de l’Alliance ont depuis longtemps compris l’importance de recueillir des données sociodémographiques et fondées sur la race, et nos partenaires du système de santé le reconnaissent aussi de plus en plus. Nous attendons maintenant avec impatience un avenir où, plutôt que d’exposer les inégalités, les données de santé fondées sur la race montreront qu’elles sont prises en compte et que les résultats en matière de santé des personnes noires s’améliorent et qu’il y a une progression vers l’équité quant à la santé et au bien-être de tous en Ontario.

Que vous recherchiez une activité du Mois de l’histoire des Noirs qui se déroule bientôt, que vous vouliez en savoir plus sur la démographie des personnes noires au Canada ou sur le problème social du racisme envers les Noirs et ses impacts, ou que vous souhaitiez vous plonger dans certaines histoires des Noirs de l’Ontario, nous vous invitons à vous joindre à nous et à d’autres pour poursuivre ce parcours. L’histoire des Noirs nous incite tous à entreprendre vers la vérité, la compréhension et un avenir plus équitable pour la santé de toutes les personnes et communautés noires de l’Ontario et d’ailleurs au Canada.

Black History Month 2024: Learning, listening and taking action on Black health and wellbeing

Date: 
le Vendredi 16 Février 2024

Each February, as we pause to reflect, celebrate and to listen during Black History Month, we’re invited into a space to recognize and reckon with the past, to take accounting of the present, and to dream, plan for and commit to equitable and just futures for Black people and communities in Canada.

Listening to and creating spaces for sharing histories of struggle, resilience and triumphs, some personal, many familial, others community-based, helps to deepen understanding of what is at stake. Anti-Black racism persists in systems and at individual levels in our society and structures today. Black people’s lives and health are at higher risk today because of racism, discrimination, ignorance and apathy, including racism embedded and hidden within Canada and Ontario’s systems of health, education, justice and policing.

At the Alliance in recent months, we’ve toured with and at the Ontario Black History Society, to learn more about the roots of anti-Black racism in housing, zoning in the province, and also about the legacy of advocacy and activism that Black people in Ontario created for the labour movement, the arts, government, higher education and more.

We are also grateful that, at the outset of Black History Month, we were able to spend time with and listen to Alliance Board member Elise Harding-Davis, an author, historian, an African Canadian Heritage Consultant and Order of Ontario recipient, whose own personal and family history as a seventh generation African Canadian, brings to life Black liberation and contribution to Canadian history.  

Harding-Davis, who also serves as Chair of Harrow Health Centre Family Health Team, took us deep into the world of Black history and a life dedicated to education and correcting the erasure and white-washing of Black histories and lives by colonial Canada. Harding-Davis also made explicit the connection between the health and wellbeing of Black people, and the leadership and courage needed to combat centuries of racism, to change systems, and to re-establish Black history as core and integral to Canada’s history, no matter the obstacles and white fragility encountered along the way. Her advocacy continues, as related in this recent CBC article, for an official apology from the Government of Canada for slavery in this country.

In that spirit, this Black History Month, we continue to listen and engage with histories, to learn from experiences, to trace and celebrate the progress being made in Black health.

Ontario now has a Black Health Plan, a joint effort across many Black health leaders, including Alliance members, working with Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health and ensure the province is supporting the work needed to close health disparities faced by Black people and communities, and to address system barriers that perpetuate anti-Black racism. The work of the Black Health Committee and their Black Health Strategy will compliment this work. We know changing the past is impossible, but if we want a new present, we need to look to the future, so it’s encouraging to see the Ontario government mandate Black History learning in public schools.

In March, the month will kick off with Black Mental Health Week (March 4-10), and later on, TAIBU Community Health Centre will host “ACT Now! Black Mental Health and Wellness 2nd Annual National Conference 2024” from March 20 to 22. This conference is part of TAIBU’s Amandla Olwazi-The Power of Knowledge. Building on existing research around anti-Black racism and its impact in Canada, the project raises awareness of the impact of anti-Black racism on the mental health and wellness of Black communities.

At the Alliance, work continues to support Black mental health through the Black-focused Social Prescribing project. Four CHCs are developing a social prescribing model that is grounded in Black and Afro-centric values and principles, with a focus on supporting family and children. The work is focused on ensuring Social Prescribing is culturally safe and decolonizing aspects of the health care system to improve health outcomes for Black people in Ontario.

This involves using the values of Kwanza to guide the work, to work collectively and thinking deeply about the referrals provided to ensure they are culturally affirming. Referrals might include AfriCan Food basket, African dance classes, hair drop ins and collective meals. This project is being evaluated in partnership with two Black-led evaluation firms: Logical Outcomes and Transform Practice, who is completing a Participatory Action Research evaluation.

As the International Decade for People of African Descent draws to a conclusion in 2024, new tools, such as Ontario Health’s Equity, Inclusion, Diversity and Anti-Racism Framework are coming online and gaining wider application across our health and social systems. Alliance members have long understood the importance of collecting race-based and sociodemographic data, and our health system partners are increasingly recognizing it as well. We are now looking forward to a future where instead of exposing inequities, race-based health data will show that they are being addressed, and that Black health outcomes are improving towards more equitable health and wellbeing for everyone in Ontario.

So whether you’re searching for a Black History Month celebration that’s happening soon, want to learn more about Black demographics in Canada, or the social problem of anti-Black racism and its impacts, or you want to go deeper into some of the Black histories of Ontario, we’re inviting you to join us and others to continue a journey that Black history invites us all to take, towards truth, understanding and more equitable future for the health of all Black people and communities in Ontario and across Canada.
