NEWS
FROM CES4HEALTH
Three New Products of
Community-Engaged Scholarship have been peer-reviewed and
published through CES4Health in the past month!
Peer-Leader Training to Improve the Health of Veterans: The
POWER Curriculum is a comprehensive curriculum for health-focused, small-group
peer leaders that contains three main categories of materials: 1) An initial
8-hour training session for peer leaders to acquire a foundation of information
and resources to plan and conduct health-focused activities 2) Mini-training
sessions that cover 12 health topics and provide peer leaders with supportive
resources and information and 3) Monitoring and evaluation tools and reports
for on-going evaluation of the processes and products of peer leader training.
Find more information here: http://bit.ly/MU0Esm.The Battered Immigrant Women Project Community Toolkit is designed to guide communities in a step-by-step process to: 1) Help familiarize community agencies with immigrant protections 2) Identify key sectors of the community, including but not limited to victim services, legal services, law enforcement, justice system, social services, faith-based organizations, and immigration law enforcement entities 3) Detail the roles and responsibilities of individual agencies in facilitating identification and referral of services to immigrant victims of domestic violence and 4) Provide training and resources to support the coordinated community response. More information is available here: http://bit.ly/LOMk1F.
Qanuqtuurniq Finding the Balance TV Series: "How are we as men?" is the first of a 3-part public TV series on Inuit health and wellness. Inuit men have experienced many changes to their way of life in just two generations. This has sometimes left Inuit men feeling lost and unsure of their place in the family and community. Their level of distress can be seen in the low school completion rates and high levels of incarceration and suicide. Programs and services for men – many created and led by men – are giving them an opportunity to seek help, better understand their needs and strengths, and revive their traditions and culture. Viewers will see live discussions, information from the International Polar Year's Inuit Health Survey, and stories of community programs that are helping Inuit men to improve their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Further information available here: http://bit.ly/NU11nV.
Why Publish in
CES4Health? Here’s what CES4Health author, associate editor and University
of Alberta faculty member Fay Fletcher has to say!
“As
a community-engaged researcher, what excites me about CES4Health is its
potential to widely disseminate high quality products that can improve the
health of communities and "count" in the faculty promotion
and tenure process. Every product submitted is peer reviewed by community
and academic experts. If it's published, the Editor sends an email about
the publication and the rigorous peer review process to people that authors
identify, such as deans, department chairs and supervisors. CES4Health
also tracks how many times a product is downloaded and can follow-up with users
to find out how it was used - important data that can be included in promotion
and tenure dossiers and grant proposals. CES4Health does not retain
copyright for any of the products it publishes.”
