Évaluation des impacts de santé (ÉIS) de projets miniers
|
|
Le but de ce cours est de se familiariser avec le processus de production et le contenu attendu d’une évaluation des impacts sur l’environnement (ÉIE) et plus spécifiquement du volet santé, appelé l’évaluation des incidences sur la santé (ÉIS) d’un projet. Il peut aussi servir de base pour l’évaluation d’un programme ou d’une politique, bien que les outils d’analyse soient alors différents. Le cours permettra à l’étudiant de collaborer efficacement à un processus d’évaluation des impacts environnementaux et spécifiquement de santé de projets miniers, notamment de produire une directive détaillant la sélection des impacts à évaluer et la portée de l’étude, de valider et critiquer chaque étape du processus et de commenter tous les aspects d’une étude ou d’un rapport d’ÉIS.

Health impact assessment (HIA) of mining projects
|
|
The purpose of this course is to become familiar with the expected content of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and very specifically the health component (HIA) of a development project. It can also serve as a basis in evaluating a program or a policy, although the analytical tools would be different. The course will enable the student to collaborate effectively in an environmental impact assessment process, and specifically the health impacts of mining projects, mainly to produce a framework or provide guidance detailing the selection of impacts for evaluation and the scope of the study, to validate and critically analyze each step in the process, and to comment on all the aspects of an HIA study or report.

Comment la santé publique peut-elle profiter de la perspective de « Une santé »?
|
|
Au cours de la dernière décennie, le terme « Une santé » a gagné en importance dans le monde entier, principalement en ce qui concerne l’émergence des infections d’origine zoonotique. En cette ère où les programmes de santé publique sont principalement axés sur les maladies chroniques et les déterminants sociaux de la santé, quelle est la pertinence d’une démarche axée sur la prévention des zoonoses émergentes ou la lutte contre celles-ci, étant donné qu’elles représentent un fardeau faible sur le plan de la morbidité et de la mortalité chez les humains? Au cours de la présentations nous examinerons comment une perspective qui lie le bien-être des humains à la santé dans le monde qui nous entoure peut nous apprendre à gérer des problèmes de santé complexes. Nous nous pencherons également sur des travaux récents qui montrent comment le fait de porter attention au monde qui nous entoure peut nous aider à détecter et à classer les dangers environnementaux, à favoriser des milieux capables d’adaptation offrant d’importants services de santé environnementale et à créer une capacité qui nous permettra d’atteindre l’idéal qu’est la santé pour tous. Ce webinaire debut à 13:30 (HAE).

What could the One Health perspective bring to public health?
|
|
The phrase ‘One Health” has gained international prominence in the past decade, mostly on the heels of emerging zoonotic infections. In an era where chronic disease and the social determinants of health predominate much of the public health agenda, what is the relevance of an approach founded on the prevention or response to emerging zoonotic diseases, most of which create low burdens of human morbidity and mortality? This Fireside chat will explore: how a perspective that links human well-being to the health of the world around us can provide insights into how to deal with complex health issues; and current research that demonstrates how paying attention to the world around us may help in detection and triage of environmental hazards; foster more resilient landscapes which provide important environmental health services and create capacity that will allow us to realize the Health for All ideal. This webinar starts at 1:30 p.m. (EDT).

Spotlight on knowledge translation methods and tools #3
|
|
Not all published literature is scientifically sound. Only some is valid, sound and useful. The correlate of this is that some research is unreliable and untrustworthy. Do you know how to tell the difference? How can you decide if the evidence you find is good enough and what the results actually mean? The answer is: by critically appraising the research evidence. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme’s (CASP) developed tools with checklists specifically designed to appraise: systematic reviews; randomized controlled trials (RCTs); qualitative research; economic evaluation studies; cohort studies; case control studies; and diagnostic test studies. The webinar starts at 11:30 a.m. (EDT).
