Database of Knowledge Translation Information Resources

This online database is full of knowledge translation resources that have been selected based on their relevance to research in environmental and occupational health and health policy. The articles and other resources will be helpful for researchers writing grant proposals, designing field work strategies, and developing effective communication strategies to share their findings with a diverse range of stakeholders. This database will help researchers to develop knowledge translation and communications plans targeted at the audience(s) most in need of their research findings.

UBC’s Department of Statistics, Statistical Consulting and Research Laboratory (SCARL), has available f ee-for-service statistical consulting: Short Term Consulting Service (STCS). This is intended for projects of 15 hours or less. The service costs $40/hour and uses our graduate students under the supervision of the SCARL permanent staff and faculty supervisor for consulting. Another option is intended for large projects and uses the regular SCARL staff. Involvement can range from medium projects paid by the hour, to very large projects where a staff member is hired for an extended period of time.

Social Equity

  • Institution: Canadian Network on Environment, Health, and Social Equity (CNEHSE)
  • Resource Category: Websites of Interest
  • Resource Location: Canada

The Canadian Network on Environment, Health, and Social Equity (CNEHSE), is a grassroots initiative of over 70 (and growing) representatives from community, government, and academic sectors. Our purpose is simple, but ambitious: we are committed to work together to place environmental inequity front and centre on Canadian environment and health research and policy agendas. Despite increasing national attention to the threat of environmental risks and hazards on human health, there remains little public knowledge of or policy focus on their disproportionate impacts on socially disadvantaged groups. As a consequence of discrimination based on aboriginal status, poverty, gender, and age, vulnerable Canadians bear the greatest burden of environmental harm and yet are often left at the margins of health, social, and economic policies toward the environment. This imbalance points to the notion of injustice and undermines Canadian values of human dignity and social equity. Strategies to address environmental inequities are just now coming to the forefront of research, policy development, and community and global action agendas. It is time for Canada to take lead role. The Canadian Network on Environment, Health and Social Equity aims to take this lead role in promoting healthy environments for all through collaborative research, policy and action.

Using Census Data for Health Research

The UBC Centre for Health Services and Policy Research is pleased to announce the launch of Using Census Data for Health Research—a gateway and FAQ for health researchers, university students, health authority staff, and others. This online resource looks at sources of Canadian census data, how health system and census geographies compare, linking and combining data, and points to resources and examples of research using census data. We hope it serves as a useful introduction and valuable ongoing reference for health researchers interested in tapping the potential of census data.
