Webinar hosted by the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health

Mar 14, 01:00pm - 02:30pm EDT

With the increasing focus on health equity and recognition of the importance of structural interventions for addressing the underlying social determinants of health, there have been repeated calls for strong and effective public health leadership.

But what does it take to be a leader for health equity? What factors enable public health leadership? And how are these factors different across Canada? The NCCDH is analyzing evidence and translating knowledge on this topic.

In this webinar, we will review the preliminary findings of: 
•    interviews with key public health leaders using an appreciative inquiry approach
•    a scoping review of the literature

Recent, practice-based examples of public health leadership for health equity will also be profiled.
