“…Over the last decade, paediatric injuries in icehockey have become research and prevention priorities across Canada (e.g., Emery et al, 2010;McKay et al, 2014), partly in relation to CHIRPP data (Macpherson et al, 2006), and to an extent that paediatric dog-related injuries have not. Whereas dog-bites rank within the top-10 causes of injury in children and youth (PHAC, 2005), a 2010 Delphi study on priorities to prevent injuries in Canadian children did not even mention dogs (Pike et al, 2010).…”

Dog-bites and rabies are neglected problems worldwide, notwithstanding recent efforts to raise awareness and to consolidate preventive action. As problems, dog-bites and rabies are entangled with one another, and both align with the concept of One Health. This concept emphasizes interdependence between humans and non-human species in complex socio-ecological systems. Despite intuitive appeal, One Health applications and critiques remain under-developed with respect to social science and social justice. In this article, we report on an ethnographic case-study of policies on dog bites and rabies, with a focus on Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which is widely recognized as a leader in animal-control policies. The fieldwork took place between 2013 and 2016. Our analysis suggests that current policies on rabies prevention may come at the expense of a 'bigger picture' for One Health. In that 'bigger picture,' support is needed to enhance coordination between animal-control and public-health policies. Such coordination has direct relevance for the well-being of children, not least Indigenous children.

“…This section of the Atlas is content-based, and includes information about the indicators developed for the dashboard and i DOT tools by the CIHR Team in Child and Youth Injury Prevention [ 11 , 12 , 13 ], as well as application to real world scenarios and current research highlights. Each indicator is defined, along with key terms relating to the indicator, and the real-world importance of the indicator is illustrated in a lay language summary.…”

“…Directly addressing a recommendation that Canada should choose a set of indicators comparable across institutions and organizations to monitor injury [ 3 ], the CIHR Team in Child and Youth Injury Prevention (the Team) defined and specified 34 injury indicators for Canadian children and youth, as well as a set of 27 indicators specific to First Nations and Inuit children and youth through a modified-Delphi process [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. A meeting of national level data organizations (e.g., Stats Can, CIHI, etc.)…”

Child and youth injury prevention research in Canada has lagged behind other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development nations, despite existing surveillance systems and longitudinal data. A critical need to improve access to the available data, as well as need to tailor its display and interpretation, was identified by injury prevention stakeholders involved in research, policy, and practice. The Canadian Atlas of Child and Youth Injury Prevention (“the Atlas”) was developed to address this need. Following a series of iterative consultation meetings and a pilot testing session, the Atlas was scaled up with national data. Two testing sessions were held to evaluate the tools. The Atlas is comprised of three main components: data, indicators, and visualizations. The accessibility of the dashboard is enhanced by customization of data visualizations and data outputs to suit the user’s needs. Overall feedback indicated that the tools were easy to use, and that the interface was intuitive and visually appealing. The Canadian Atlas of Child and Youth Injury Prevention provides readily accessible information to injury prevention practitioners, policy makers and researchers, helping to chart pathways to success in improving the child and youth injury prevention system in Canada.

“…We selected the Teleform Fax Tool 42 since it is compliant with Manitoba's personal health information legislation and can be used without internet access. Fax technology is also routinely used to collect health information in jurisdictions across Canada, [43][44][45][46] and as such, is an accepted tool for collecting survey data.…”

Protocol for establishing an infant feeding database linkable with population-based administrative data: a prospective cohort study in Manitoba, Canada

et al. 2017

IntroductionBreast feeding is associated with many health benefits for mothers and infants. But despite extensive public health efforts to promote breast feeding, many mothers do not achieve their own breastfeeding goals; and, inequities in breastfeeding rates persist between high and low-income mother–infant dyads. Developing targeted programme to support breastfeeding dyads and reduce inequities between mothers of different socioeconomic status are a priority for public health practitioners and health policy decision-makers; however, many jurisdictions lack the timely and comprehensive population-level data on infant-feeding practices required to monitor trends in breastfeeding initiation and duration. This protocol describes the establishment of a population-based infant-feeding database in the Canadian province of Manitoba, providing opportunities to develop and evaluate breastfeeding support programme.Methods and analysisRoutinely collected administrative health data on mothers’ infant-feeding practices will be captured during regular vaccination visits using the Teleform fax tool, which converts handwritten information to an electronic format. The infant-feeding data will be linked to the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository, a comprehensive collection of population-based information spanning health, education and social services domains. The linkage will allow us to answer research questions about infant-feeding practices and to evaluate how effective current initiatives promoting breast feeding are.Ethics and disseminationApprovals have been granted by the Health Research Ethics Board at the University of Manitoba. Our integrative knowledge translation approach will involve disseminating findings through government and community briefings, presenting at academic conferences and publishing in scientific journals.

Developing injury indicators for Canadian children and youth: a modified-Delphi approach

Abstract: Results suggest that a broad-based modified-Delphi process is an important first step in developing useful and relevant indicators for injury prevention activity focused on Canadian children and youth.
