[EQ] This is Public Health Toolkit

This is Public Health Toolkit

US Association of Schools of Public Health [ASPH]  - 2008

Toolkit: http://www.thisispublichealth.org/toolkit/

“….Most people don't understand what public health is, much less how it impacts their daily lives. The “This Is Public Health” campaign was designed to let people know that public health affects them on a daily basis and that we are only as healthy as the world we live in.

The campaign utilizes stickers with the slogan “This is Public Health” placed in strategic locations around communities to build awareness of the many ways in which public health impacts our well being. …”

“……As part of the “This is Public Health”campaign, ASPH has developed the This is Public Health toolkit to which will serve as a resource for anyone who is interested in educating others about public health issues or the field of public health. The materials in the toolkit are suggestions or templates, which can either be used as is, or tailored to suit your specific audiences. 

The toolkit also includes links for other sources that can increase knowledge of public health both inside and outside of the classroom. Through the toolkit, we hope to provide a hub containing more information on both the “This is Public Health ” campaign and the field as a whole. Materials will be provided that target a range of individuals, accommodating varying age groups and differing levels of familiarity with the field of public health. …”

[EQ] Conference: New Directions in Welfare

New Directions in Welfare

A conference for economists and policy makers

St Catherine’s College, Oxford University, Oxford UK  - 29th June-1st July 2009

Website: http://www.open.ac.uk/socialsciences/welfareconomicstheory/index.htm

First call for abstracts: 10th September 2008

 “…..Welfare economics and more broadly economists’ contributions to our understanding of human welfare have changed radically over the past decade or more.* Amartya Sen’s capabilities approach has already shaped the evolution of the UN’s Human Development Index and suggests additional theoretical criteria by which economic outcomes might be modelled and judged. On the other hand, empirical analyses of data on human happiness are now widespread and are beginning to provide insights driven by behaviour which often complement the foundational concerns that lie at the heart of welfare economics.

Policy-makers are increasingly exploring the implications of these theories and empirical analyses for the measurement of welfare and progress as well as the design and evaluation of policies in health, development, environment and social policy (broadly defined). In addition there will be a second track of sessions economic theory focusing on new approaches to welfare economics.

The event will bring these areas together, in some cases for the first time to explore the implications both for theory and evidence and for practical use and public understanding of modern economic ideas. We hope this will be a stimulating and friendly event which continues to explore themes discussed at recent events in Harvard and Delhi and that people will join us with a view to carrying the debates forward….”
