PopHealth Notes
is a series of publications put out by the Quebec
Population Health Research Network on the theme of
population health.
Published periodically, the PopHealth Notes present the
most cutting-edge research and scientific events in the
population health field. Each issue explores a different
theme related to the social inequalities of health,
world health, first-line care, knowledge sharing, etc.,
and combines research results with comments by relevant
players. Some issues feature colloquia reports and
provide a privileged forum for decision-makers and
stakeholders. As an ongoing part of QPHRN’s activities,
the PopHealth Notes promote existing knowledge and open
the door to new perspectives for consolidating
population health research.

Le DVD
sur les inégalités sociales de santé (ISS) fait partie des retombées
ultimes de la Rencontre francophone internationale sur les
inégalités sociales de santé (RFIISS). Ce DVD comprend quelques
documents dont un outil d’animation pédagogique sous forme d’un
diaporama. Il veut répondre à la volonté collective de produire
plusieurs matériaux qui permettraient de pérenniser l’intérêt pour
les ISS et soutenir les efforts de sensibilisation ainsi que les
apprentissages réalisés.
Le DVD contient aussi la vidéo qui a été projetée à l’ouverture de
la RFIISS ainsi que trois textes de références, à savoir Combler
le fossé en une génération – Résumé analytique de la Commission
des déterminants sociaux de l’OMS (2008), Le résumé d’action
du Consortium européen Déterminé (2008), le numéro thématique sur
les ISS de la revue Éducation santé (mai 2009). S’ajoute à
cela une bibliographie commentée.
Le Réseau francophone international pour la promotion de la santé (Réfips)
est en charge de la promotion et de la diffusion du DVD sur les ISS.
Hosted by the Canadian Rural Health Research Society & the
Government of New Brunswick, this conference will provide
opportunities for researchers, decision makers, practitioners,
policy makers, graduate students, community members and other
stakeholders interested in the health and well being of rural and
Northern residents and communities. This conference will discuss
current findings on rural and Northern health issues and explore
means for enhancing communication between researchers and policy
makers.
