Monday, November 9, 2009: 8:30 AM
Oral
A systems thinking educational curriculum can provide lawmakers with valuable tools to examine policy issues. Research linking urban neighborhood conditions to health is particularly appropriate for translating into policy intervention,since many health-related characteristics of neighborhoods result from policies that are amenable to intervention.Reaching beyond traditional health boundaries to take a more inclusive slant by framing the nation's health initiatives using the determinants of health is not only necessary, but inherently critical.
Session Objectives: 1.List six questions that policymakers can use to assess policy issues from a systems perspective 2.List steps taken by the Healthy Environments Partnership to translate research findings into policy recommendations aimed at improving health. 3.Explain how the determinants of health impacts the development, adoption and implementation processes of Healthy People 2020
