How Do We Make Health Promotion Good for Women?

Posted on: Mon, 03/29/2010 - 00:01

The British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women's Health would like to invite you to this CIHR Café Scientifique on:

Thursday, April 8, 2010
7:00 to 9:00pm
Juliet's Café
1905 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver

Health promotion activities have traditionally focussed on individual lifestyle choices. However, this approach often fails to take into account the social conditions within which women live their day to day lives and that affect their ability to participate in health promoting activities. Join us to discuss how addressing social determinants like gender, poverty, and housing can improve women's opportunities for healthy living.

Panel:
Mary Collins, Director, BC Healthy Living Alliance Secretariat
Ann Pederson, Director, BC Centre of Excellence for Women's Health
Pam Ponic, Community-based Researcher, BC Centre of Excellence for Women's Health
Nancy Poole, Director, BC Centre of Excellence for Women's Health

Moderator:
Irving Rootman, Adjunct Professor, Human and Social Development, University of Victoria
