Chronic disease prevention evaluation in Ontario’s public health system: A qualitative needs assessment
Financial Impact of Incentive Spirometry
Despite largely unproven clinical effectiveness, incentive spirometry (IS) is widely used in an effort to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. The objective of the study is to evaluate the financial impact of implementing IS. The amount of time nurses and RTs spend each day doing IS-related activities was assessed utilizing an online survey distributed to the relevant national nursing and respiratory therapists (RT) societies along with …
A mixed methods evaluation of capturing and sharing practitioner experience for improving local tobacco control strategies
DoP reports are useful to public health practitioners working in tobacco control within Ontario; refinements to development and dissemination processes will enhance use. Future studies and adaptations of DoP reports could help improve use of practitioner experience as one source of evidence informing public health practice
Understanding and improving multi-sectoral partnerships for chronic disease prevention: Blending conceptual and practical insights
Inter-organisational partnerships are widely used approaches in public health and chronic disease prevention (CDP), and may include organisations from different sectors, such as research-policypractice sectors, inter-governmental sectors, or public and private sectors. While multiple conceptual frameworks related to multi-sectoral partnerships exist, they do not reflect the interactions among key factors that influence the performance of partners…
Guidance for organisational strategy on knowledge to action from conceptual frameworks and practice
This paper aims to provide public health organisations involved in chronic disease prevention with conceptual and practical guidance for developing contextually sensitive knowledge-to-action (KTA) strategies. Methods involve an analysis of 13 relevant conceptual KTA frameworks, and a review of three case examples of organisations with active KTA agendas. From this analysis, this paper identifies and discusses four key principles for enhancing org…
Systems thinking for transformational change in health
Incremental approaches to introducing change in Canada’s health systems have not sufficiently improved the quality of services and outcomes. Further progress requires ‘large system transformation’, considered to be the systematic effort to generate coordinated change across organisations sharing a common vision and goal. This essay draws on ongoing dialogue relating to transformation, and examines transformative efforts in the Saskatchewan health…
Networks to Strengthen Health Systems for Chronic Disease Prevention
Interorganizational networks that harness the priorities, capacities, and skills of various agencies and individuals have emerged as useful approaches for strengthening preventive services in public health systems. We use examples from the Canadian Heart Health Initiative and Alberta’s Primary Care Networks to illustrate characteristics of networks, describe the limitations of existing frameworks for assessing the performance of prevention-orient…
The Magic Is in the Mix”: Lessons From Research Capacity Building in the Canadian Tobacco Control Community, 2000–2010
Knowledge integration in public health: A rapid review using systems thinking
There are tradeoffs in knowledge synthesis – for example, between comprehensiveness and timeliness, between generalisability and policy relevance. The tradeoffs are particularly challenging for public health. A growing international community is grappling with building more relevant and useful knowledge bases, to facilitate use of this knowledge in policy and practice. These questions guided a knowledge synthesis using a novel ‘rapid review’ meth…
Maximising the use of evidence: Exploring the intersection between population health intervention research and knowledge translation from a Canadian perspective
Population and public health research has been shifting from describing factors that shape health to an interrogation of the processes and outcomes underpinning policy and programme interventions. This shift has given rise to acknowledging population health intervention research (PHIR) as a distinct field of study in Canada. Given that PHIR aims to maximise the use of evidence to inform interventions, a discussion paper was written and a workshop…

Common Measures to Advance the Science and Practice of Population Intervention for Chronic Disease Prevention: The Promise and Two Early Experiences in Tobacco Control
Pertinent evidence to inform population interventions for chronic disease prevention is sparse. The use of common measures across multiple jurisdictions is a promising approach to study “natural experiments” that can dually advance research/knowledge development and evaluation/practice improvement for population intervention. Early experiences with provincial tobacco control strategies and North American quitlines reveal the importance of (a) sus…
Can the Canadian Heart Health Initiative Inform the Population Health Intervention Research Initiative for Canada
The Imperative of Strategic Alignment Across Organizations: The Experience of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Centre for Behavioural Research and Program Evaluation
People and money matter: Investment lessons from the Ontario heart health program, Canada
Resource allocation is a critical issue for public health decision-makers. Yet little is known about the level and type of resources needed to build capacity to plan and implement comprehensive programs. This paper examines the relationships between investments and changes in organizational capacity and program implementation in the first phase (1998-2003) of the Ontario Heart Health Program (OHHP)--a province-wide, comprehensive public health pr…
