Small Group Discussion on KE

1. Small Group Discussion on KE May 11, 2012 PPHL AGM

2. 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)

3. KE Impacts MB Case Study Lessons Learned: • Face to Face interactionsincrease understanding and uptake of data. • Linking with existing infrastructure, systems and partners can extend KE reach • Youth are important stakeholders but often overlooked

4. KE Impacts • Senior management buy-inis critical to increasing KE capacity • Sharing success stories motivate & inspire others to take action • Grants tied to data can encourage data use in planning

5. Next Steps • Developing YHS 2012 KE strategy & workplan • Objective: to support partners in building KE capacity • Need your help and input!

6. Small Group Work In groups discuss the following questions: • Given your KE experiences with the last YHS what will you: • Keep the same? • Do differently? • What do you need to facilitate and increase your organization’s KE capacity (i.e move evidence into action)?

7. 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

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

14. 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

15. 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

16. Knowledge Exchange • 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

17. YHS Working Group Oversees overall workplan for 2012 YHS Avenue for communications between all Task Groups Responsible for evaluation of project

18. Adult Risk Factor Surveillance Working Group

19. 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

20. 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

21. ARFS Pilot Project Over the past year, ARFS has been: • Recruiting pilot communities • Researching methodologies (PDA’s, technology) • Determining potential survey content areas

22. 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

23. 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)

24. Moving Forward with ARFS Where do we go from here? • Continue to look for funding and resources • Develop Adult Health Survey tool • Finalize survey methodologies • Conduct the ARFS pilot

25. Data Access Review Panel Working Group DARP Members • Heather Sparling, MH, Chair • Catherine Hynes, NOR-MAN RHA • Landis Esposito, WRHA • Bo Kinasevych, Health in Common • Paul Paquin, MB Education • Tannis Erickson, CCMB

26. DARP PURPOSE To act as gatekeepers for access to YHS data: • Review applications for access to YHS data • Review presentations / papers showcasing YHS data, prior to publication • Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) development

27. 2010 DARP REVIEWS

28. 2011-2012 DARP Reviews

29. Moving Forward • Business as usual: • Continue to review applications for access to YHS data • Review publications using YHS data • Support development of Data Sharing Agreements / addendums as applicable for: • new health regions • YHS • AHS

31. Purpose: Establish and advance priorities for a) moving evidence to action, and b) deriving evidence from action. Activities Core Indicator Measures Tobacco- pilot phase Physical Activity- final stages Aim #1

32. Aim #2 Purpose: Accelerate development of knowledge exchange capability by doing and sharing case studies (three case study provinces, PEI, MB, NB) MB Activities • Provincial Case Study completed • Cross- Case Study (MB, NB, PEI) completed • Presented at several conferences • CDPAC, WARFS, CU Expo, Health Innovations, JCSH/CLASP National Youth Health forum, Public Health Ontario

33. Aim #3 Purpose: Strengthen collaborations by creating mechanisms to enable mutual learning and productive knowledge exchange. Activities • CLASP/JCSH National Forum on Youth Health- “Catching the Jelly Fish: Extracting and Applying Lessons to Advance Youth Health” • Saskatchewan Risk Factor Surveillance meeting

34. Moving Forward • YE CLASP ended Mar.31, 2012 • Received small amount of KE Bridge Funding (April-Sept). • YE CLASP Renewal (Sept.2012-Oct.2014) • Build and strengthen existing YE CLASP • Expanded partnerships (PHE Canada, SK, NS) • Exploring new CLASP opportunities (June 2013-2016)

35. Small Group Discussions Discuss the following questions: • Given your knowledge exchange (KE) experiences with the last YHS what will you: • Keep the same? • Do differently? • What do you need to facilitate and increase your organization’s KE capacity (i.e move evidence into action)?
