Grand Rounds: Promoting a healthy start: Developing population-level databases for provincial early childhood screening programs
October 12, 2012 9:00 AM
|
|
Abstract: Experiences and exposures in early childhood have been found to have life-long impacts on children’s subsequent health and development. The provincial government has invested in population and public health programs tailored for children under six years old, with the overall objective to promote healthy development. This talk will feature three distinct yet intersecting universal programs for supporting early vision, dental, and hearing problem detection for BC’s children, with particular focus on population-level database development initiatives that aim to optimize capture of child health information for surveillance and outcome monitoring purposes.
Speaker: Brenda Poon is an Assistant Professor with the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) in the School of Population and Public Health at UBC. She leads HELP’s Early Childhood Screening Research Unit. Brenda completed her doctoral studies in Special Education at UBC and postdoctoral fellowship with HELP through CADRE (Capacity for Applied and Developmental Research and Evaluation in Health Services and Nursing), a joint program of the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
