Item Final technical report : a Canadian community of practice in ecosystem approaches to health with a training and awards program for ecohealth research in international and development settings, January 2008 – June 2012(CoPEH-Canada, 2012-09) Webb, Jena; Saint‐Charles, Johanne; Parkes, Margot; Morrison, Karen; Lemire, Melanie; Woollard, RobertResearchers and institutions across Canada have identified a need for consolidation and commitment to ensure long‐term development and capacity in the field of Ecohealth. As such, a main activity of the Community of Practice in Ecosystem Approaches to Health (CoPEH‐Can) is to collectively design and deliver a short-course that will promote and support research, education, policy and practice in Ecosystem Approaches to Human Health to provide training to qualified graduate awardees under the proposed Canadian Ecohealth Graduate Training Awards Program. Consortium partners aim to establish this short‐course as an accredited graduate course, potentially complemented by a distance‐learning component.Item Final technical report for “Ecohealth Toolkit - Pilot for Teaching Manual”, August 2010 – April 2012(Department of Population Medicine, University of Guelph, 2012-04) McCullagh, Suzanne; Morrison, KarenThe Canadian Community of Practice in Ecosystem Approaches to Health (CoPEH-Canada) team has experience teaching Ecohealth which they drew from and developed in the design of the Ecohealth Short Course (2008 – 2011). The teaching manual captures some of the key elements of those courses in a series of modules to assist Ecohealth educators in the delivery of Ecohealth courses, workshops, or seminars. They are easily modifiable and adaptable to different contexts as they are designed in a scalable, modular structure (Appendix 5). This report includes activities and methodology in developing the Ecohealth courses. Information is in English, French and Spanish.Item Integrating Health, Sustainability and Ecosystems in the Post-2015 Development Agenda(2012) Horwitz, Pierre; Morrison, Karen; Parkes, Margot; Patz, Jonathan; Zinsstag, JakobThe International Association for Ecology and Health (IAEH) appreciates the invitation for interested individuals and groups to submit think pieces on the positioning and role of health in the post-2015 agenda, with a challenge facing the health community: to agree on very few goals, feasible targets and measurable indicators that put health at the heart of people’s understanding of the purpose of development. Representing Ecohealth researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, the Association promotes sustainable health and well-being by pursuing “transdisciplinary” approaches across sectors to address interdependent causal factors of health and well-being. The post-2015 development agenda must have sustainable health in mind; that is, health for today without compromising the natural, social and cultural capital required for the health of future generations.Item Agriculture-associated diseases : adapting; agriculture to improve human health(2011) McDermott, John; Grace, DeliaThis brief examines the range of agriculture-associated diseases to discover commonalities that can be leveraged to achieve better health outcomes. A typology of four categories frames the discussion, ranking them by overall impact on human health as measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs): Zoonoses and emerging infectious disease; Food-associated disease; Water-associated disease; and Occupational disease and drug resistance. Integrated approaches offer a broad framework for addressing complex disease. Bringing together key elements of human, animal, and ecosystem health, they address the social, economic, and political determinants of health. New approaches require new ways of working and institutional arrangements.Item EcoHealth : a primer(Veterinarians without Borders/ Vétérinaires sans Frontières, CA, 2011) Waltner-Toews, DavidThe primer is an introduction to key ideas and practices in an “ecosystem approach to health” or ecohealth. The major tools for doing ecohealth are questions rather than techniques per se (see chapter 5). The techniques for how those questions are asked will vary from situation to situation, from geospatial mapping to interviews, from workshops to mathematical modeling. The combination of stakeholder participation – which necessarily leads to multiple perspectives on reality, and systems thinking – which necessarily leads to questions of relationships, boundaries and responsibilities, takes us to the core of the ecohealth approach, which is complexity.Item Ecological economics and ecohealth : why not do more together?; IDRC Workshop, Delhi 19-12-06(UQAM, Montreal, QC, CA, 2006) Revéret, Jean-PierreItem Enfoques ecosistémicos para la salud humana : II Taller Internacional de Salud Ambiental en America Latina; Integrando una Perspectiva de Genero, Chihuahua, 2-3 out, 2006(IDRC, 2006) Bazzani, Roberto; Boischio, Ana; Charron, Dominique; De Plaen, Renaud; El Fattal, Lamia; Fajber, Liz; Gasengayire, François; Labatut, Jean-Michel; Maller, Hein; Orosz, Sophie; Sánchez, AndrésItem Exposición a plaguicidas y salud de niños en comunidades cercanas a plantaciones bananeras y de plátanos : un enfoque ecosistémico(IRET, Universidad Nacional, Heredia, CR, 2006) Wendel de Joode, Berna van; Barraza, Douglas; de la Cruz, Elba; Kromhout, Hans; Jansen, Kees; Wesseling, Catharina; Mergler, DonnaItem Enfoque ecosistémico en salud ambiental y perspectiva de genero(CINBIOSE, Universidad de Quebec en Montreal, Montreal, QC, CA, 2006) Mergler, DonnaItem Public health in the face of global ecological and climate change(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Newcastle upon Tyne, GB, 2010) Soskolne, Colin L.; Westra, LauraResearch undertaken by members of the International Association of Ecology and Health (IAEH) makes critical linkages between population health and the dynamics of ecosystem damage and climate change. The preservation of human health is indissolubly linked to the health of the environment. The International Ecohealth Forum (2008) helped position the field of ecohealth as a key international advocate for this idea. This book chapter is a call for action from the Forum’s deliberations, advocating global adoption of the ecohealth movement.Item Santé - environnement : des liens mondiaux, juin 2008(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2008) CRDI; Orosz, Zsófia; Sánchez, AndrésItem Santé - environnement : des liens mondiaux, août 2007(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) CRDI; De Plaen, Renaud; Orosz, ZsofiaItem Santé - environnement : des liens mondiaux, janvier 2007(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) CRDI; De Plaen, Renaud; Orosz, ZsofiaItem Santé - environnement : des liens mondiaux, été 2006(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2006) CRDI; De Plaen, Renaud; Sánchez, AndrésItem Santé - environnement : des liens mondiaux, été 2005(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2005) CRDI; De Plaen, Renaud; Sánchez, AndrésItem Health - environment : global links, June 2008(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2008) IDRC; Orosz, Zsófia; Sánchez, AndrésItem Health - environment : global links, August 2007(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) IDRC; De Plaen, Renaud; Orosz, ZsofiaItem Health - environment : global links, January 2007(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) IDRC; De Plaen, Renaud; Orosz, ZsofiaItem Health - environment : global links, summer 2006(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2006) IDRC; De Plaen, Renaud; Sánchez, AndrésItem Health - environment : global links, summer 2005(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2005) IDRC; De Plaen, Renaud; Sánchez, Andrés
