What
I Have Lived For – With Thanks to Sir Bertrand Russell.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have
governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and
unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds,
have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of
anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -
ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a
few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves
loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks
over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have
sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic
miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have
imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human
life, this is what--at last--I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have
wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars
shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number
holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led
upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of
cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by
oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of
loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I
long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my
life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the
chance were offered me.

Evergreen Boyz
Research Project: Improving Young Men's Health Access
Special
congratulations to Gen Creighton and Jenny Matthews who worked with our
community partners at VCH to create the Evergreen
Boys Research Project, and received the top score in the VCHRI competition.
This is an intervention study that will examine strategies for increasing
utilization and accessibility of Evergreen Youth Clinic (EYC) services among
young men, 14-24 years. Currently, young men constitute only 6% of EYC
clientele which reflects a larger theme of critically low health service usage
by men in BC and nationwide. A number of factors contribute to this
underutilization including ‘feminization’ of health services, societal
pressures related to masculinity, and differing health seeking behaviours
between men and women. Interventions will include: a Boyz Night series at EYC
with male physician and male nurse, EYC staff training for work with young men,
a promotional campaign and testing procedures, young men’s advisory meetings
and research capacity building for EYC staff. Principal Investigator: Derek Roelofsen, Evergreen Community Health

Home Cost
Crunch: UBC's Role? - UBC: Fueling, or solving, the problem? As real estate
inflation tears Vancouver's social fabric, what's a university to do?
By
Jim Frankish, Published: April 22, 2008 in theTyee.ca
http://thetyee.ca/Views/2008/04/22/HomeCostCrunch/
This
is a plea for all Canadians to stop and think about how we define
"progress" in our cities and towns.
We
are bombarded daily by the message that social well-being is best measured by
economic growth and indicators such as housing starts. It is as if our only
gauge of progress is more -- more housing at higher prices.
And
yet, we continue to create housing that fewer people can afford. The trend
should be alarming for all Canadians.
As
a professor engaged in research and teaching on health inequities, I believe
the University of British Columbia and its community provides a compelling case
to study. The UBC Mission & Vision states that we will "promote the
values of a civil and sustainable society", and acknowledge our
obligations as citizens to "secure a sustainable and equitable future for
all." The current situation in Vancouver suggests that the UBC community
should greatly strengthen these commitments, particularly when it comes to
engaging the poorest and most vulnerable.
Unreal estate
Canada
Mortgage & Housing Corporation places the average resale price in 2007 for
a Vancouver home at $464,500, after 10 straight years of price escalation.
Around
UBC, a million dollars has become a low price for a home. The RealtyLink
website on January 25th, 2008 in the UBC area showed 4 houses for sale at
minimum cost of $929,000 and a maximum of $7.68 million. For 13 available
townhouses, the minimum was $458,000 and the maximum was $2.38 million. The 57
listed apartments had a minimum price of $348,000 and a maximum of $1.87
million. For a typical mortgage (7 per cent interest, 5 per cent down, 5 year
term, 25 year amortization), the minimum household income to purchase the
average house ($3.9 million) was $1.1 million with monthly payments of $27,000.
For the least expensive apartment, the minimum household income was just under
$100,000, with monthly payments of $2,700. This is in a neighborhood where much
of the land is leased, not owned.
In
2007, public data showed that UBC had roughly 11,748 employees. There were 12
employee groups, including union members, faculty and administrators, and some
43,000 students.
At
the above prices (with two incomes per household), none of the almost 12,000
employees had a sufficient household income to purchase the average listed
house ($3.9 million).
Only
two per cent could qualify to buy the average townhouse ($1.2 million). Sadly,
only 11 per cent could buy the average apartment ($724,000).
Finally,
UBC had just over 5,000 people in six unionized groups. None of them could
afford to buy any of the 74 properties above.
Slamming the
gates
In
sum, only 3.5 per cent of the almost 12,000 employees in Canada's third-largest
university could afford to purchase property in the "neighborhood."
Appropriate/affordable housing is even more problematic for the 43,000 UBC
students who are generally younger and less affluent.
Magnify
this problem across Canada where full-time post-secondary enrolment is expected
to grow to 1.3 million in 2013.
Like
many other universities, UBC can be very proud of several recent initiatives
such as Community Service-Learning and the Community Health Initiative by
University Students. To its credit, UBC has also built small amounts of
non-market and rental housing. But as some of the foremost communities in
Canadian society, our universities should be champions for change. They should
be leading the charge for affordable housing for their staff and students, and
for our most vulnerable citizens.
Given
the obvious need and UBC's apparent resources, where is the housing for single
parents, immigrants/refugees, the working poor, the homeless and low-income
students in the new UBC community now taking form on and around campus?
Big long term
costs
Our
recent work (led by colleagues from SFU) shows that the cost of providing
adequate housing and support to the absolute homeless in B.C. is $179 million.
Provisions for adequate housing in the new UBC community (and elsewhere) would
reduce costs for health care, corrections, and emergency shelters. There would
be a net cost avoidance of $33 million per year to the province of B.C.
We
in the richest neighborhoods across Canada should be doing the most, not the
least in addressing inequities and improving the 'health' of our region. Why
are our poorest citizens and increasing numbers of the middle class being
priced out of home ownership in our towns and cities? Housing (like health
services) is a "social" good that is too important to leave to the
free market in Canada or elsewhere. Human well-being is not a commodity.
Canadians must move toward a more sustainable model that adopts a
"triple-bottom-line" mentality by giving equitable weight to our
economic well-being, environmental preservation, and the promotion of social
justice.
As
a starting point, an immediate, cooperative and substantive investment in
affordable and non-market housing for staff and students would go a long way
toward meeting the vision statements of universities such as UBC. Second, we
must lead and foster a comprehensive public conversation with all Canadians
about the true determinants of health -- not just health care but housing,
education, income, early child development, and social relations. At present,
Canadian media give inordinate coverage to health care issues and largely
ignore the 'non-medical' determinants of health. This coverage is at odds with
our research which shows that Canadians see homelessness as an urgent social
and health issue. They are eager and impatient to have their political,
academic and community leaders address the health, social, legal and economic
challenges associated with poverty in Canadian cities.
Walk the talk
Over
the long term, universities across Canada could readily assume a place of
greater regional and national leadership in "promoting the values of a
civil and sustainable society." In part, this can be done by educating the
next generation of decision leaders on the evidence regarding the real
determinants of the health of this and future generations. Otherwise, we are
all at risk of losing key opportunities and failing in our stated obligation to
"secure a sustainable and equitable future for all."
The
world is coming to Vancouver, and Canada, in 2010 and beyond. If we fail to
change, the world will find communities that are increasingly unaffordable,
inaccessible, and unfriendly.
If
so, they surely won't see any real sign of "progress."

Project
We are working to create a Population Health Implementation Centre in our Downtown Eastside. It will be home to social-enterprise activities, employment training of at-risk & street persons, community-service learning projects, mental health, addiction, legal & housing outreach services, food security/nutrition initiatives, literacy and health work, arts activities (e.g., community theatre), research, training and capacity-building around determinants of health, the conduct and evaluation of demonstration projects, and the creation and sharing of related resources that can be shared/adapted across Canada (and beyond). Notions of population health and determinants of health have gained prominence in federal, provincial & local health policy/practice. CIHR and other funders have identified population health interventions as a priority. There is a huge, obvious need to address determinants of health and related inequities in one of Canada’s poorest neighbourhoods – the Downtown Eastside. Sadly, these inequities regularly manifest in the form of mental illness and addictions. Auspicious circumstances exist in support of the creation of the above Centre. The WHO Commission provides a challenge to Canada to take strong action on determinants of health. (This would include the types of demonstration projects and ‘action’ envisaged by your Commission). In the 2010 Olympics, the world will see our health inequities in Vancouver. In a Mayor’s poll, Vancouverites rated "addressing homelessness" as the #1 expected legacy of 2010. Our Province is eager to address these concerns in lasting and innovative ways. To date, we have found a possible site for the Centre, done a building inspection, and had very positive conversations with the Sacred Heart parish about a low-cost, long-term lease of a vacant school property which they hold. The school site has additional vacant space that could be developed. We have also had positive conversations with provincial ministers regarding creation of a ‘Healthy Cities Investment’ that will provide an endowment to UBC from the $1B in annual property-transfer taxes. We have suggested 1% ($10M) per year for three years around the 2010 Games. We have strong indications of support from Stephen Owen and others at UBC, and will arrange with students from our Sauder Business School to create a full business plan for the Centre. Our collegial and collaborative relations with SFU mean that the Centre can easily involve faculty and students across universities. Our respective units and others, e.g. UBC’s Learning Exchange already have established footprints in the community. For example, we have street youth and UBC students (from 10 disciplines) teaching health literacy to other street-youth. We have applied to renew our successful, research-training program, "Partners in Community Health Research" (PCHR: pchr.net). We are applying for a Community-University Research Alliance (CURA) grant from SSHRC. Finally, we have developed connections with the Downtown Eastside Revitalization Taskforce of the Vancouver Board of Trade. These business connections will be a key to our development of social-enterprise activities, employment training of at-risk and street persons. Through VanCity and other business entities, social-enterprise activities are growing in Vancouver. The business community is also eager to support innovative 2010 legacy projects. In sum, the proposed Centre will impact health and quality-of-life in BC’s poorest community. Our work will improve the literacy, health literacy, and employability of persons in the DTES. Over times the Centre and its work will help to train the next generation of (mental) health and social science professionals. The Healthy-Cities Investment from the Province would represent a lasting legacy of that is consistent with the Vision for the 2010 Games. Most important, it will improve the living conditions, (mental) health and quality-of-life of our most needy citizens. The envisioned Centre could readily provide a long-term home for community development, demonstration projects and community-service learning and research.

Recent Courses
Issues in Creating & Conducting Community Based Research (CBR) In Population Health, Public Health & Health Promotion Initiatives: CBR holds particular philosophical, ethical, practical, design and measurement issues that relate to the planning, design, implementation, evaluation and the dissemination of community based, health research. We will expose students to these issues as they relate to population health, public health, health promotion and health education initiatives. Many health professionals/researchers are increasingly engaged in research (and training) activities with diverse community partners. This work presents fundamental challenges regarding the creation and conduct of CBR. CBR often present unique and interesting philosophical, ethical, practical, design and measurement issues. These issues are further complicated in work with vulnerable or multicultural communities. Students, practitioners, policy makers and community representatives will have an organized opportunity to share experiences, lessons and perspectives on relevant issues. Emphasis will be placed on practical planning, design and measurement issues. This course has four core learning objectives: to expose students to classic/contemporary evidence and thought regarding issues in CBR; to engage students, faculty, practitioners, policy makers, service providers and the community in a fruitful exchange of ideas; to build academic and community capacity for the ethical, efficient, and effective conduct of CBR; and to contribute to development of a cadre of competent researchers.

environments are at greater risk for unintentional injuries. However, little is
known about the safety practices of mothers living in low-income situations.
METHOD: This ethnographic study explored the child safeguarding experiences of
low-income mothers using in-home interviews and observations. RESULTS: Mothers'
safeguarding efforts included cognitive and emotional work, child directed
work, and work directed at the physical and social environments. Factors that
influenced the women's safeguarding included the quality of the indoor space,
availability of safe play space, traffic hazards, sibling interactions, child
care supports, relationships with neighbors, and trust in community services.
DISCUSSION: These findings have implications for the conceptualization of
safeguarding practices and provide insight about the experiences of mothers
living on low-incomes. IMPACT ON INDUSTRY: When developing safety interventions,
program planners should consider the views and practices of mothers as well as
contextual factors in the physical and social environments.

inadequate to address this issue, and therefore more and better public dialogue
is required. Drawing on deliberative democratic theory and practice, three
public organizing considerations are offered: organizing within the state
sphere, organizing within the public sphere, and using cross strategies. It is
recommended that public resources be provided to involve the public in
deliberations about population health promotion issues related to the wicked
problem of health inequities.

Community-academic
partnership research is a fairly new genre of community-based participatory
research. It has arisen in part, from recognition of the potential role of
alliances in the development and translation of applied knowledge and the
elimination of health disparities. This paper reports on the learning process
of academic and community members who worked together in developing a logic
model for a research program focusing on partnerships with vulnerable
populations. The Partners in Community Health Research is a 6-year training
program that seeks to combine research, training, and practice through the work
of its "learning clusters". As these types of partnerships
proliferate, the articulation and exploration of clear models will assist in
their implementation. The authors, coming from both academia and community
agencies, present a logic model meant to facilitate program management. Key
considerations in the model's development are discussed in the context of an
ongoing research partnership; namely, the complexity of the research
partnership, power and accountability, alignment with health promotion policy
and the iterative nature of program design. Recommendations challenge
academics, policy-makers, service providers, and community members to reflect
on the elements needed to support and manage research partnerships and the
tools necessary to ensure continued collaboration. logicmodelsandpartners.pdf

18(8):1050-3, 2006 Nov. Children with perinatally-acquired HIV are
living into adolescence and adulthood. As this is a relatively new phenomenon,
there is a paucity of research highlighting the complex issues that arise for
these children. This qualitative case-study examines the needs of a select
group of older children (9-16 years old) with perinatally-acquired HIV in the
province of British Columbia, Canada through focus groups and interviews
conducted with ten HIV-infected children, 11 family members and 11 service
providers. The needs of this population are diverse, reflecting its
heterogeneity. However, participants consistently highlighted issues of stigma,
sexual health and mental health as major areas of current and future concern.
Continued support, education and future planning in these areas are necessary for
older HIV-infected children as they transition out of childhood. growingupAIDS.pdf

The Canadian health system is undergoing reform. Over the past decade, a
prominent trend has been creation of health regions. This structural shift is
concurrent with a greater emphasis on population health and the broad
determinants of health. In parallel, there is a movement toward more
intersectoral collaboration (i.e., collaboration between diverse segments of
the health system, and between the health system and other sectors of society).

Emergency Aid Society, Providence Healthcare & St. Paul’s Hospital, the
Salvation Army - Vancouver, the Triage Emergency Services & Care Society
Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver Coastal Health and the Centre for
Population Health Promotion Research at UBC. Our specific objectives are to
address these research and clinical gaps by doing the following: 1) gathering
new knowledge regarding the history and experiences of contact (emergency,
hospital admissions, discharge) with St. Paul’s Hospital and Vancouver General
Hospital in homeless shelter users and other street-involved persons; 2)
gathering new knowledge regarding shelter and service providers’ experience(s)
of sending clients to either hospital and receiving patients back from either
hospital; 3) gathering new knowledge regarding health professionals’
experiences of receiving and discharging patients who are homeless or
marginally housed persons; and 4) comparing patients (emergency, medical,
psychiatric, surgical) of no fixed address with shelter users via medical chart
reviews.
Public
Outreach Grant - Media as an Ally in Addressing Homelessness
A 2007 Mayor’s poll ranked the City’s top priority as homelessness (25%). The most expected legacy of the 2010 Olympics was reduced homelessness Our project will to reach out to the community (providers, NGOs, media) and build their capacity to directly engage Canadians in a public conversation regarding potential policy and program solutions that will erase homelessness and improve the quality of life, social functioning and health of persons who are marginalized. Our objectives are to conduct a participatory, community-outreach project that: a) gathers information on service providers’ experiences and capacity regarding use of media and media advocacy (MA), b) conducts a needs assessment regarding providers’ use(s) of media, c) to co-host a community forum, student seminar, pre-conference, MA training workshop, and a conference session on homelessness, and d) tracks the impact(s) of the workshop on participants and their resulting MA activities. Our work has 4 Components that will occur before, during and after the International Conference on Urban Health (Vancouver, 10/08). Component I will occur prior to the Conference and will involve interviews of providers, NGOs and media representatives. The interviews will a) explore participants’ experiences in dealing with media around homelessness and b) serve as a pre-Media Advocacy Workshop (MAW) ‘needs assessment’ that will help us to focus the MAW, and maximize the payoff of the project. Component II will comprise the actual MAW that will occur immediately before the above Conference. It will also include a parallel student seminar and community forum. In Component III, a subset of project participants will take part in one-half day panel and small group presentations as part of the actual international Conference. Finally, Component IV will occur in the 6-8 months following the MAW and will entail working with the participants to track their work with local media and its impacts.

been engaged with the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) for the 2010
Olympics. They played a key role in the Bid in that secured the inclusion of
concrete ‘bid guarantees’ and the creation of an Inner-City Inclusivity
Statement (ICIS). VANOC and IOCC are now faced with the operationalization
of this policy document. Our work will be a health-policy analysis of
decisions and actions of key policy actors as they relate to implementation of
the ICIS. We will examine individual, interpersonal, organizational and
structural factors that influence these decisions and nature /degree of
implementation and impact(s) of the ICIS. We will draw on "theories of change",
diffusion of innovations theory, and Sabatier & Jenkins-Smith's Advocacy
Coalitions Framework. The work builds on our study on measurement of
healthy communities. We have a chance to get in on the ground-floor of a unique
(mega-event), health-related policy intervention to examine the role(s) and
capacities of key actors to implement the already articulated ICIS in a
meaningful way, i.e., one that will maximize the health and quality-of-life of
the community.
Collaborative Grant: Our colleagues at Dalhousie University (Lois Jackson,
Jean Hughes, Lynne Langille, Renee Lyons) have received a CIHR grant. We will
work with them on a research synthesis titled, “A scoping review and
research synthesis of community-level interventions that modify social
environments and influence health”.

Recent Previous Courses
Inter-Professional Health & Human Services 200
(IHHS 200): IHHS is an
interdisciplinary course on the meaning, measurement and determinants of
health. IHHS 200 is open to every student at UBC (with permission). The class
regularly has students from several faculties and across years 1 to 5. Students
can do Community Service Learning as part of IHHS 200.
Issues in Creation
& Conduct of Community‑Based Research (HCEP 581)
This course
will expose students to philosophical, ethical, practical, design and
measurement issues as they relate to community‑based, health research
(CBR). It will run Mondays 4 pm - 7 pm, September 12 2005 to December 8, 2005.
The first hours of 4-6 of the 13 sessions will be a joint class-public seminar.
Topics will include history and background,
models, frameworks and perspectives on CBR, ethical issues, participatory and
action research, research design, planning, implementation and evaluation
issues, CBR with special populations and communicating the results of
community-based research.
Upcoming Grant Proposals
A Systematic Validation of a Health Literacy Measure in High School, At-Risk & Street-Involved Youth: Many Canadians are more illiterate than most of us realize. General Literacy (GL) is “a person’s ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate & use printed/written materials in varying contexts. 48% of adult Canadians have low or very low GL. For adults, literacy predicts health status better than age, income, employment, education, and racial or ethnic group. Poor literacy has been linked to poorer physical/mental health in youth. Youth with poor literacy are at increased risk of delinquency, homeless, depression, low self esteem, substance use/abuse, and suicide. Literacy issues that occur in childhood & adolescence may last a lifetime. Researchers from U of Victoria, and the UBC Centre for Population Health Research (CPHPR) received funds to develop of a valid measure of HL in high-school students. Several districts have helped us to create our measure called the BC-HL Tool. We wish to build on this investment by refining and validating our BC-HL Tool by extending its testing and application within & between regular, at-risk & street-engaged youth. We will get data from Grade 10 students in regular or alternative classes, and from street youth. At-risk youth (aboriginal and ESL youth, and youth in foster care) will be of high interest. We will gain new knowledge related to youth HL, GL, self-reported health and health behaviors. Over time, we plan to use our Tool to target at-risk (low HL) youth, and then to connect it to behaviors that can be changed through health education. Our eventual long-term goal is to improve health status and quality-of life for mainstream or marginalized youth by targeting and improving HL levels in Canadian youth.

Michael Smith
Foundation for Health Research - Senior Scholar Award: This five-year award provides
support for Dr. Frankish’s overall program of research. The program of research
is intended to make a contribution on conceptual, methodological and applied
levels. On a conceptual/theoretical level, the research creates new knowledge
on key issues including health promotion in primary care, the involvement of
marginalized populations in the health decisions, and the role of health
regions (and their community partners) in addressing the non-medical
determinants of health. On a methodologic level, the research will yield
concrete guidelines, and sets of indicators/measures for appraising key
phenomena of interest (i.e., community health). The conduct of the research
will offer important experience in the validation and refinement of broad
measures of health, and related direct experience in working with policy
makers, practitioners and community groups. Finally, the program of research
has the potential to influence policy makers, researchers and key stakeholder
groups across
Training-Related Research & Activities
Research
Training Program in Community Partnership Research: Our six-year, CIHR/MSFHR-funded, training
program is designed to attract mentors and learners with an interest in
community-partnership research. Drs. Best and Frankish are the program’s
co-directors. The four target learner groups are graduate students from
multiple disciplines and programs, transdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows,
community program managers, learners, and policy makers. The program has four
objectives: - to provide research training in an integrated, transdisciplinary
community-partnership approach that links research to policy and practice; to
develop capacity of community-based practitioners and university researchers to
engage in community partnership research that contributes to sustained
partnerships; to educate researchers, policy makers, community members to
create evidence for best practices; and to develop and disseminate curriculum
materials. The program has 3 clusters: community health services, workplace
health promotion, and vulnerable populations. The current team includes

"Health
101":
We continue to work to
create ‘Health 101’ as a unique community-based course. It is being
created in partnership with
Note: We presently teach
IHHS 200 a course on the meaning, measurement and determinants of health. We
also teach two graduate courses on issues in community-partnership research,
and models of health promotion (and behaviour change).
Homelessness &
Poverty-Related Research
We are
engaged in research related to the eradication of homelessness and improving
health /quality-of-life of the homeless and those at-risk. BC Homelessness
& Health Research Network Project: CIHR and HRSDC fund this work. The focus
is development of a research agenda for homelessness in
Synthesis
Paper on Supportive Housing for Persons with Serious Mental Illness (BC-MoH): This work involves the creation of a major
synthesis paper for the BC Ministry of Health. The focus is an analysis of the
relative benefits of supportive housing for persons with serious mental
illness.
Understanding Societal Attitudes Toward Homelessness (HRSDC): The eradication of homelessness will depend on political will backed up by strong societal support. This public will can only derive the public better understanding homelessness and homeless persons. In parallel, policy makers, service providers and health professionals need to understand and appreciate the level, nature and patterns of homelessness in their jurisdictions. Several jurisdictions have conducted homelessness counts. In parallel, many people are interested in measuring other aspects of homelessness and related health, social and economic issues. The proposed project will build on our analyses of media coverage and the media's portrayal of the causes and solutions to homelessness. The project will entail a systematic review of the published and grey literature on societal attitudes and beliefs toward, and knowledge of the homeless and homelessness.
Navigating Health & Social Services - The Experiences & Needs of Persons At-Risk for Homelessness (HRSDC): Recent studies suggest that a growing number of Canadians may be at-risk for homelessness. The evidence reveals that groups such as immigrants and refugees, and street youth may be particularly vulnerable. The proposed project will involve a partnership between MOSAIC, the GVRD and the IHPR at UBC. The project will examine a) the experiences and felt needs of immigrants/refugees (drawn from MOSAIC) and street youth (drawn from GVRD and UBC) as they relate to housing (and related issues). This will be done through focus groups. Second, we will explore the views of MOSAIC staff and GVRD-based outreach workers (through interviews) as they relate to their perceptions of the experiences and needs of the above clients.
Service
Access & Utilization for Homeless Persons with Mental Illness (HRSDC): This is a partnership between IHPR,
Lookout Emergency Society, Nanaimo Affordable Housing Society, CoolAid
Victoria, Surrey Family & Community Social Services, Triage Emergency
Services, Covenant House, Shelter Net BC and CMHA. Phase I is an environmental
scan of supportive housing and shelters. Phase II, is a needs assessment with
residents and staff, and service providers. Finally, we use the BC Linked
Health Database to describe the use of health services by persons with mental
illness who use the relevant facilities.
Social
Construction of Homelessness-Whose Fault? What Solutions? (SSHRC): We need to understand knowledge, attitudes and
values of individuals engaged with homelessness. We will gather data on 'public
perceptions' of homelessness. We will share these perspectives with
stakeholders. We will use 4 questions: 1) what people believe to be causes of
homelessness, 2) who is 'responsible' for homelessness, 3) who is 'responsible'
for fixing homelessness, 4) what 'solutions' are seen as appropriate, and how
does exposure to homelessness shift perspectives of stakeholders and public.
Methods include a literature review, document analysis and review of news
media. We will interview providers, professionals, decision makers, and
homeless persons (and those at‑risk). Interviews will be taped and
willing homeless will be photographed. Tapes/photos will be shown to health
students. Photos/life stories will be shown in a community forum and photo
exhibit. Photos will be sold with 50% of the profits going to homeless and 50%
to Lookout Shelter.
Evaluation of
the "Cooking Fun for Families" Program (SSHRC): The Cooking Fun for Families program, an
active-learning-oriented, school-based nutrition education and health promotion
program, was developed with inner-city parents, children, teachers, school
administration and community centre staff as a program to help meet the
families multifaceted needs in relation to food, nutrition and well-being. The
purpose of our research is to conduct both a systematic process and impact
evaluation of the program in ten inner-city schools in the
Educating Health Professionals
for Social Responsibility (UBC-TLEF): Our
team will survey students' attitudes/behaviours regarding social
responsibility. This is key to shifting societal attitudes and actions toward
the homeless.
Inner-City Inclusivity, Olympics
& Health (CIHI-CPHI): Our grant to the
Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI) Population Health Program has been
approved. IHPR has worked with the Impact on Communities Coalition. IOCC has
been engaged with the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) for the 2010
Olympics. They played a key role in the Bid in that secured the inclusion of
concrete 'bid guarantees' and the creation of an Inner-City Inclusivity
Statement (ICIS). VANOC and IOCC are now faced with the operationalization of
this policy document. Our work will be a health-policy analysis of decisions
and actions of key policy actors as they relate to implementation of the ICIS.
We will examine individual, interpersonal, organizational and structural
factors that influence these decisions and nature/degree of implementation and
impact(s) of the ICIS. We will draw on "theories of change",
diffusion of innovations theory, and Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith's Advocacy
Coalitions Framework. The work builds on our study on measurement of healthy
communities. We have a chance to get in on the ground-floor of a unique
(mega-event), health-related policy intervention to examine the role(s) and
capacities of key actors to implement the already articulated ICIS in a
meaningful way, i.e., one that will maximize health and quality-of-life of the
community.
Health Literacy, & Literacy & Health
Research
We are
involved in research/training activities related to health literacy – a
person’s ability to access, understand, appraise and communicate information to
improve their health and quality of life. We are examining relations between
other forms of literacy and health. We are exploring activities such as a
Canadian survey of health literacy. We are working with the Canadian Council on
Learning to create a Health & Learning node in BC.
Measurement
of Health Literacy (CIHR): We have a
grant to develop a measure of health literacy in health promotion. We have
measured health literacy in seniors and have submitted a proposal to do similar
research with seniors for diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds.
Literacy
& Health (SSHRC): We are
involved in a grant from to develop a national program of research on literacy
and health. Irving Rootman is the Principal Investigator. The research involves
development of a conceptual framework, a literature review and environmental
scan, interviews of key informants and the hosting of planning workshops. It is
related to our work on health literacy.

Regions & Non-Medical Determinants of Health (CIHR): This project involves a descriptive
study whose purpose is to generate a national picture of actions taken to date
by health regions on nonmedical determinants of health (NMDH) and to focus
specifically on those actions involving intersectoral collaboration. The
project will develop (and validate) a brief screening survey instrument that
will focus on indications of action and influencing factors related to health
region actions on NMDH. Second, we will use the above survey to stratify
regions according to their self-reported action on specific NMDH. Third, we
will then conduct interviews of regional representatives and analyze specific
health region documents. Through this process, we will identify and analyze
self-identified exemplar initiatives associated with regional actions on NMDH.
Finally, we will interview collaborators (i.e., NGOs, private sector,
non-health ministries) working with health regions on exemplar initiatives.
Data collected from each method will be triangulated and synthesized for use in
a conceptual framework that will emerge from our work.
Children
Living with HIV/Aids (CIHR): This work
is the PhD of Ms. S. Fielden. The work will create and test a new psychosocial
intervention to aid the children in coping with chronic illness. The
co-investigators are Drs. Bob Hogg and Evan Wood. The community partner is Aids
Vancouver. The aim of the project is to conduct a rigorous theoretical and
empirical review that will form the foundation for an eventual intervention.
The project will engage children and youth, and community partners in the
development and pilot testing of the potential intervention for the children,
youth and their families.
Prevention
of Hepatitis C: In the past three years, we have
been involved in a number of projects related to the prevention of Hepatitis C.
First, we wrote a report on Hepatitis C programs in
Adolescents’ Concepts
of Depression & Related Help-Seeking: An operating grant from the Lions-Gate Healthcare Foundation funds this
project. The co-investigators are Drs. Jane Garland and Kim Schonert-Reichl.
The project director is Czesia Fuks Geddes. The community partners are several
local school districts. The project has collected information on boys and girls
from Grades 8 and 10. It will provide important new knowledge regarding
youth-related concepts of mental illness (i.e., depression) and their related
perceptions of how they might seek help for related concerns.
Mid-Life
Health Interventions for Healthy Aging (SSHRC): This project is funded by a Community Alliance
for Health Research grant (CIHR). Dr. Allan Best leads it. The project is
designed to develop and test systems of evidence-based decision-making for
regional health services. Three BC regional health districts, and three
universities are partners in creating common information systems and mutual
learning opportunities within and across communities. The focus is on midlife:
how do lifestyles, patterns of care (self, informal, formal), quality of life
(including physical, mental, and social health, and functional capacity), and
health status change over time with aging, and what are the implications for integrated
health promotion, self-help, care and cost-containment?
Federal
Capacity for Population Health (Health Canada): This project examined perspectives of key informants on the role of the
federal health sector in addressing determinants of health. It also looked at
informants' views of how intersectoral collaboration is occurring between the
health sector and other sectors of government and society. More specifically,
respondents were asked about key aspects of a potential 'national strategy and
the related roles/responsibilities of Health Canada and other key stakeholders.
Perceived barriers or opportunities were identified and information on relevant
international models is included. The objective was to provide an initial
analysis of expert opinion about the roles of the health sector and federal
health department in addressing the determinants of health.
Research Related to Measuring the Health of
Communities
Development
of a Report Card on Impacts of the 2010 Games on Our Health & Quality of
Life (VANOC): All
of Vancouver wants the best Olympics. The Impacts of the Olympics on Community
Coalition (IOCC) is working with IHPR and the community to create a 'Report
Card' for tracking and evaluating the impacts of the Games on determinants of
health and quality of life. The Card will examine the physical environment,
jobs and the economy, accountability and transparency and people including
issues such as housing, transportation, safety and civil rights. It will draw
on close partnerships and support from government and the Olympic community.
Our hope is to provide important information to the public, community leaders,
media and government on the positive and negative impacts of the Games on our
health and quality of life. Our aim is to move beyond simply reducing the potential
harm(s) of the Games to maximizing their potential for creating a healthier
community for us all. Dr. VanWynsberghe is the PI.
Measuring
Community Capacity (Health
Measures
of Community Health (CIHI-CPHI): We wrote a report that led to inclusion of measures of community health
in the national, Canadian Community Health Survey. In turn, this led our grant
from the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Our work examined use of
indicators of the health of communities across

Teaching
Activities
Undergraduates: I have taught Psychology as a
sessional instructor. These courses typically involve large (> 100) or
medium-sized classes (20-40) students. I have taught abnormal (300) and health
psychology (314). I consistently received above-average evaluations.
Graduate-Level
Teaching: Second, I
have taught a doctoral-level course (HCEP 545) in the Faculty of Medicine for
several years. This course examines the role of sociobehavioural theories and
models in health promotion. He has also taught other graduate courses in Health
Care and Epidemiology. In the context of the Partners in Community Health
Research Training Program, he has taught courses on transdisciplinary research
and ethical issues in community research. A new course will focus on overall
issues in the planning, implementation and evaluation of community research.
Interdisciplinary
Teaching: In 2000,
we conceived and designed a unique, undergraduate course on the meaning,
measurement and determinants of health. This course (IHHS 200) is co-taught
with Dr. Aleck Ostry and is open to every student at UBC. He is writing an
undergraduate text on the meaning, measurement and determinants of health.
Next, he is designing a Health 101 course that will complement UBC's Downtown
Presence Initiative and build on the highly successful Humanities 101 presently
offered to community participants from
Tutoring,
Directed Studies & Episodic Teaching & Mentoring: Dr. Frankish is involved in three other forms
of teaching. He has tutored medical and dental students through the Doctor,
Patient and Society program. He has also contributed to a health promotion
module in close consultation with colleagues in Health Care & Epidemiology
(HCEP). Second, he has taught several graduate students from Nursing, HCEP and
Community Medicine through directed studies and clerkship-related courses. For
example he has given lectures on population health to community medicine residents.
Finally, he has helped to design and run workshops on topics such as
participatory research and program evaluation, and weeklong Summer Institutes
on health promotion planning and evaluation that have drawn local, national and
international participants.
Supervising
& Advising Students: At IHPR, I have been directly involved in the supervision of many
doctoral and masters students (20 interdisciplinary 49 departmental students).
He has served on the committees of graduate students from Audiology, Adult
Education, Commerce, Counselling Psychology, Health Care and Epidemiology,
Human Kinetics, Nutrition, Pharmacy, Resource Management, Regional Planning and
the Individual Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies Program. He has also
supervised students from
Ad-Hoc
Mentoring & Advising: The above activities do not include regular mentoring and advising of
current and potential graduate students. Dr. Frankish sees 8-10 students per
month, who are interested in health promotion or a related discipline. IHPR is
a major home to interdisciplinary and departmental graduate students. To date,
more than 50 students have undertaken thesis-related work in association with
IHPR.

NOTE: In addition to formal graduate students, I also directly or
indirectly supervised the following 51 'learners' in our CIHR-MSFHR-funded,
research-training program (PCHR). We created the concept of 'community learner'
i.e., a mid-career person, who takes part in our training program. We thereby
aim to build the 'receptor capacity' of our government and community partners
to receive and use research skills and findings in their work.
