CPHA’s Normalizing Conversations project launched a survey in 2021 to learn how Canadian public health, public safety, and health and social service professionals define and implement a public health approach to substance use. The survey findings provide an understanding of key stakeholder beliefs, attitudes, knowledge levels, and access to information about substance use.
To support the implementation of a public health approach, CPHA partnered with the Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health (CEWH) to create and publish the Public Health Approach to Substance Use Handbook. This resource describes and illustrates the key principles of this approach, with relevant tools for future work.
Join CPHA, Dr. Tara Marie Watson, Dr. Nancy Poole, and Dr. Lorraine Greaves as we explore perspectives on a public health approach to substance use followed by a discussion with some of the project’s Expert Reference Group on this approach and its challenges and opportunities for implementation. This webinar is designed for public health, public safety, health and social service professionals, people who use drugs, researchers and policy makers.
