Settings for Health and Learning Symposium
Hosted by the Hosted by the Health & Learning Knowledge Centre of the Canadian Council on Learning
June 2-4, 2007, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC
A settings-based approach is more than simply delivering interventions to a population that has been gathered together for another purpose such as education or work or recreation. It is not a single intervention or program within a setting. A settings approach is one that seeks to influence the health or educational status or behaviours of individuals by influencing social/economic conditions and/or policies/programs/ practices within the setting through multiple, coordinated interventions.
Objectives of the Symposium:
- To discuss promising and evidence-based practices, policies and programs in several settings, including pre-schools, schools, post-secondary institutions, primary health care, workplaces, prisons, cities, communities and more.
- To present the initial results of web scans and email inquiries for related contacts people and samples of policies, programs and initiatives.
- To provide an opportunity for international networks concerned with various settings to consolidate their development while stimulating further developments on settings in Canada. Further, to enable the IUHPE "joined settings" project to make further progress in sharing knowledge about effective interventions in settings and places.
