Discussion on KE May 11, 2012

PPHL AGM

Reflection

• Purpose of Knowledge Exchange (KE) is to Move Knowledge into Action

• YHS 2009 KE:– Variety of activities (reports, fact sheets, presentations, press release, YHS video, symposiums etc. )

– Variety of audiences (government, schools, school divisions, HTN committees, parents, RHAs, national and international)

KE Impacts

MB Case Study Lessons Learned:

• Face to Face interactions increase understanding and uptake of data.

• Linking with existing infrastructure, systems and partners can extend KE reach

• Youth are important stakeholders but often overlooked

KE Impacts

4. Senior management buy-in is critical to increasing KE capacity

5. Sharing success stories motivate & inspire others to take action

6. Grants tied to data can encourage data use in planning

Next Steps

• Developing YHS 2012 KE strategy & workplan

• Objective: to support partners in building KE capacity

• Need your help and input!

Small Group Work

In groups discuss the following questions:

a) Given your KE experiences with the last YHS what will you:

I. Keep the same?II. Do differently?

b) What do you need to facilitate and increase your organization’s KE capacity (i.e move evidence into action)?

Report Back

• Uses of information from small groups– By organizations –learning from others– By YHS KE – to advise the work plans to

support partners in building KE capacity

Youth Health Survey Working Group

Youth Health Survey Working Group

Task Groups:• YHS Regional Implementation Team• Methods• Administration Survey• Knowledge Exchange

YHS Regional Implementation Team

• Consists of RHA contacts who are responsible for YHS implementation

• Collectively planning/coordinating components of survey, for example:– Survey content– Survey printing– Ethics– Identifiers– Parental notification & consent forms– Report creation & production

Methods

• Consists of broad representation from research, policy and practice

• Based on results of Expert Groups developed & pilot tested the survey tool based

• Methodology decisions – Census of grades 7 to 12 students province-

wide– Possible sub-sample for direct measures

(height, weight, step-count) if funding becomes available

– Inclusion of identifiers is still being researched & tested

Administration Survey

• New component for this cycle• Online survey of school administrators to obtain

school environment data• Data will be used to help identify & analyze

environmental factors that contribute to the health behaviors of Manitoba youth

• Draft developed & will be pilot tested

Knowledge Exchange

• Numerous activities – some examples:– YHS video release

• Stories about how the data from the YHS has made an impact

– Presentations at national conferences about case study findings & lessons learned

– Partnering with Saskatchewan as they develop their YHS system

• Future Plans– Working towards consistent reporting of

the next YHS – Developing the 2012 YHS Report

template with an external writer– Development of KE workplan– Identifying future opportunities

Knowledge Exchange

YHS Working Group

• Oversees overall workplan for 2012 YHS

• Avenue for communications between all Task Groups

• Responsible for evaluation of project

Adult Risk Factor Surveillance Working

Group

ARFS Working Group

• Adult Risk Factor Surveillance Working Group

• Includes 17 members from 15 different PPHL organizations

• 10 RHAs, 2 NGO’s and 2 gov’t organizations are represented

ARFS Pilot Project

• Will involve a sample of self-identified communities across MB

• Includes choosing methodologies, designing tools, data collection, analyzing results and disseminating findings

• Results will inform the development of an ongoing, province-wide system of adult risk factor surveillance & provide stakeholders with local level information

ARFS Pilot Project

Over the past year, ARFS has been:

1. Recruiting pilot communities2. Researching methodologies (PDA’s,

technology)3. Determining potential survey content

areas

WARFS

• In October, ARFS presented a poster at the World Alliance for Risk Factor Surveillance annual conference

• 7 group members were able to attend this international conference, held in Toronto

• Offered a chance to meet international experts in the field of RFS and share our MB experience

Share and Learn

• In December, ARFS was invited to participate in the Healthy Together Now Share and Learn

• Goal was to have participants provide input on info they would like to receive from the upcoming pilot project based on 11 possible content areas

• Themes and feedback will be used to guide the development of the Adult Health Survey (AHS)

Moving Forward with ARFS

Where do we go from here?1. Continue to look for funding and

resources2. Develop Adult Health Survey tool3. Finalize survey methodologies4. Conduct the ARFS pilot
