Aboriginal Women in Canada: Gender, socio-economic determinants of health, and initiatives to close the wellness gap
This paper explores the historical and socio-economic context of Aboriginal women's lives that have so profoundly impacted their health and wellbeing. It provides an overview of some health disparities between First Nations, Inuit, and Métis women compared with non-Aboriginal women today, and of the barriers that must be overcome to address these disparities. Promising examples of legal, policy, and program initiatives are highlighted.

NCC Collaborative Work
Influenza-like illness (ILI) is probably the acute respiratory infectious illness most associated with morbidity and mortality, absenteeism from work and school, and utilization of acute primary care services. Influenza and other ILI has been selected as an area of inter-NCC collaborative work. NCCID will lead this particular NCCPH project.

Online Learning
NCCMT has developed a number of online learning opportunities to augment our publications and workshops. We recently evaluated three of our online learning modules: Introduction to Evidence-Informed Decision Making (EIDM), Critical Appraisal of Intervention Studies (CAIS), and Quantitative Research Designs 101 (QRD). Users' self-efficacy scores increased following completion of both the EIDM and CAIS modules. In addition, users' responses to 15 multiple choice questions on both the pre- and post-test for the QRD module demonstrated a statistically significant increase in knowledge of module content.
In light of these positive results, NCCMT continues to develop online learning opportunities as part of our comprehensive strategy to build capacity for evidence-informed public health in Canada. |
For details on these findings or a list of modules in development, please contact NCCMT.
