Action Ideas

Academy for Educational Development, Washington, DC
http://www.aed.org/

Agreed to exchange print resources, with their resources being available to Ontario Health Promotion Resource System members.

Benton Foundation, Washington, DC
http://www.benton.org/

The Health Communication Unit, perhaps in partnership with others, might revive the "What Works" series, as nothing is as dramatic as a good success story of community interventions. We may want to invite some US exemplars as well.

Ontario Health Promotion Resource System members might consider if and how we can support projects such as Sound Partners and/or who else might be interested.

Sound Partners seeks to facilitate citizens' involvement in making decisions affecting health care by fostering partnerships between public broadcasters, community organizations and additional media entities.

Berkeley Media Studies Group, Berkeley, California

Seek out conference opportunities that focus on delivering technical assistance.

Innovation Network, Washington, DC

The Health Communication Unit could become a pilot for the Theory of Change online project - how will this happen?

The Health Communication Unit will promote Innonet's tools

Innonet may be interested in writing an article for OHPE, if it meets editorial interests.

Innonet is interested in The Health Communication Unit's health communication campaign tool

Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse and other Ontario Health Promotion Resource System members could use their organization assessment tool and/or promote their other tools.


National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia
http://www.cdc.gov/

Explore ways in which existing popular websites, e.g. television series, can include links to public health websites. (For a US example, see the many research links from "House" to health information sites: http://www.fox.com/house/features/research/

National Youth Anti-Drug Campaign, Washington, DC
http://www.mediacampaign.org

A model for a high profile intervention that through its actions, media attention to it, the technical resources it publishes, and its engagement with many other organizations, builds capacity regarding health communication.


Prevention Institute, Oakland, California

http://www.preventioninstitute.org

Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse website or the OHPE-bulletin post 'best prevention article of the month' with abstract and web-link.

Host a one-time think tank with key government and NGO colleagues to explore what members of the Ontario Health Promotion Resource System can do to support a shift towards prevention within government, drawing on Prevention Institute projects, e.g., Embedding Prevention in State Policy and Practice; Shifting the Focus: An Interdisciplinary Framework for Advancing Violence Prevention

Society for Public Health Education, Washington, DC
http://www.sophe.org

Society for Public Health Education membership is low cost and would benefit Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse/Ontario Health Promotion Resource System - e.g. free access to pertinent journals

Obtain a copy of Tools of the Trade -- capacity building tools (not electronic), and make them available to Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse and Ontario Health Promotion Resource System

Society for Public Health Education has an interesting business model, i.e.. their mix of products, services, and activities, staffing levels, membership organization -- as a health promotion organization with a broad mandate and varied membership.

Society for Public Health Education offered the opportunity to be reviewers for their academic journals.

Society for Public Health Education have numerous partnerships and joint activities, interesting as models for Ontario Health Promotion Resource System, e.g., Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce http://phpartners.org/.

The Advocacy Summit and Health Education Advocate Award fit very well with the "upstream" and "prevention" agenda. There maybe an opportunity here.

 

Health Promotion 2020 is a virtual tour through the dialogue, and a map to take us into the future.
