Applying the Public Health Approach to Recreational Boating Injury Prevention: An Overview of the Public Health Approach & Injury Prevention

Overview

This is Webinar #1 in a four-part series entitled “Applying the Public Health Approach to Recreational Boating Injury Prevention.” This webinar sets the stage for this series, providing an overview of the Public Health Approach, Injury, and Core Competencies.

This series explores the topic of the Public Health Approach and how it can be applied to Recreational Boating Injury Prevention. Data shows that in 2017, the Coast Guard counted 4,291 accidents that involved 658 deaths, 2,629 injuries and approximately $46 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents. State recreational boating safety programs are responsible for the annual implementation of more than 95% of all boating safety expenditures nationwide – including boating law enforcement, boating safety education, public access, aids to navigation and a range of other boating safety services.

The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) is committed to cultivating a boating public that is better prepared to engage in safer boating behavior, in part by assisting state boating safety agencies to become fluent in the public health approach to injury prevention. Nationally, NASBLA brings together state recreational boating safety agencies for standardization and reciprocity in public policy development, communicating strategies, coordination, information sharing, education, and training.

NASBLA partnered with the Safe States Alliance to present the four-part webinar series on the Public Health Approach to Injury Prevention, with a focus on recreational boating injuries. The series is organized by each of the key four steps in the Public Health Approach, with relevant Core Competencies for Injury and Violence Prevention mapped to each of these four steps. These Core Competencies can provide a road map for gaining or strengthening the essential knowledge, skills and behaviors needed to grow professionally, and strengthen the field and practice of injury and violence prevention, including recreational boating injury prevention.

Learning Objectives

As a result of participating in this self-study training, participants will:

Learn about the Public Health Approach and how it can be applied to Recreational Boating Injury Prevention.

Comprehensive Suicide Prevention – It’s More than a Mental Health Concern

Overview

In 2016, nearly 45,000 lives were lost to suicide. A recent report from CDC tells us that suicide rates have increased by more than 30% in half of US states between 1999 and 2016. The report also tells us that according to data from 27 states participating in the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS, 2015), more than half of people who died by suicide were not known to have a mental health condition; but commonly reported relationship, substance misuse, physical health, job, money, legal or housing stress among other circumstances. To stem the tide of this growing public health problem, a national goal was set to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by 2025. Meeting this goal will require implementation of comprehensive suicide prevention strategies which relies on a public health approach that goes beyond a focus on mental health conditions alone. Suicide prevention includes everyone in communities across the public and private sectors, from government agencies, to people with lived experience, to employers, to healthcare systems and beyond.

Learning Objectives

As a result of participating in this self-study training, participants will:

Learn the latest findings on suicide from CDC scientists, State Health Department leaders in suicide prevention, and experts on suicide among U.S. Veterans.
Have a better understanding of how suicide is more than just a concern in mental health and that it spans across public health, substance abuse, and injury prevention fields as well.

Cure Violence & the Movement to Treat Violence as a Health Problem

This webinar is based on the highly-rated closing general session presented during the 2016 Safe States Alliance Annual Meeting in April in Albuquerque, NM.

Despite the enormous toll of violence in the United States as measured in injury, suffering, and death, violence is not generally seen as a health issue. The movement to treat violence as a health problem is fundamentally changing the way violence is viewed and resourced. This movement, which includes the Cure Violence program, advocates for (1) enacting social and behavioral campaigns to reduce violence; (2) using the comprehensive healthcare system as a point of intervention to interrupt the spread of violence; and (3) developing public health and epidemiology tools for community-based violence prevention programs.

This webinar will address why violence is a health problem, how health leaders play an integral role in solving all forms of violence, and we can work across sectors to address violence.

Presenter:
Shannon Cosgrove, MHA, Director of Health Policy, Cure Violence

Learning objectives of webinar:

– Understand why violence is a health problem – a contagious epidemic that is transmitted across syndromes.

– Learn how violence, like other contagions, can be interrupted through programs such as Cure Violence and through a health systems approach.

– Learn about a framework for violence prevention action, including how to activate leaders locally to transform the perceptions and response to violence.

– Learn about new areas of program innovation for Cure Violence.

Using Logic Models in Planning & Evaluation

Thoroughly understanding one’s program is central to program planning and evaluation. Logic models can and should be a helpful tool, but too often, dogmatic or overly complicated approaches to developing logic models undermine their utility. This webinar presents a straightforward approach to creating logic models, recapturing their added value as a tool. Course content defines the basic components of logic models, provides some insights on when to include or exclude these terms from models, and applies teaching points to some simple cases. It also demonstrate how a decent, yet simple logic model helps guide key questions in planning and evaluation.

Integrating Injury & Violence Prevention with Maternal & Child Health Programs

The theme for three 2009 ASTHO, NACCHO, and Safe States Alliance webcasts is “Integrating Injury & Violence Prevention“. The three webinars are Webinar 1: Integrating Injury & Violence Prevention with Maternal and Child Health Programs: Strategies, Resources, & Opportunities; Webinar 2: Integrating Injury & Violence Prevention with Healthy Aging Initiatives: Experiences & Opportunities; Webinar 3: Integrating Injury & Chronic Disease Prevention: Successes, Challenges, & Lessons Learned.

Webinar 1 describes a variety of programs that exemplify injury/violence prevention (IVP) and maternal and child health (MCH) program integration efforts being implemented at national, state, and local levels. Speakers describe their experiences with cross-program integration, provide strategies on how to successfully integrate programs, and highlight opportunities to initiate integration efforts that meet the program goals of IVP and MCH professionals alike.

Policies to Prevent Bullying in School

The theme for the 2010 ASTHO, NACCHO, & Safe States Alliance webcast series is “Policy Approaches to Injury & Violence Prevention.” The four webinars in this series are Webinar 1: Policies to Prevent Bullying in Schools; Webinar 2: Policies to Promote Injury-Free, Livable Communities; Webinar 3: State & National Policies to Promote Motor Vehicle Safety; Webinar 4: Policy Approaches to Injury Prevention: Successes, Strategies, & the ASTHO Presidential Challenge.

Webinar 1 focuses on bullying. Bullying has long been a serious and complex public health problem. Given the recent increase in media attention to bullying incidents and tragedies nationwide, the need for policies that appropriately and effectively address bullying in schools has become increasingly apparent. This webcast features presentations by professionals and advocates who are actively involved in shaping anti-bullying policies. During this webcast, speakers discuss their experiences with anti-bullying legislation (including legislation related to cyberbullying), describe the process needed to get such policies enacted, and provide insights on how state and local public health professionals can get more involved in the development and implementation of these policies.

Exploring the Intersection: Enhancing Active Living through Violence Prevention

The theme for the 2011 ASTHO, NACCHO, & Safe States Alliance webcast series is “Special Topics in Violence Prevention.”

Violence and the fear of violence can have far-reaching negative consequences and undermine efforts to improve the health and safety of communities. Perceptions of areas as being violent or unsafe may often prevent adults and children from engaging in a host of healthy activities — ranging from walking to schools and workplaces to utilizing parks and recreational areas. As a result, this lack of physical activity can be a substantial factor in the onset of chronic disease. Research has linked several chronic health conditions to a lack of physical activity, including asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Violence only serves to exacerbate these conditions as it is a significant barrier that keeps individuals from leading healthy, active lives. Preventing violence is an imperative step in promoting safe and healthy communities and in minimizing the burden of disease. Both violence and chronic disease can be prevented by using a collaborative public health approach.

This webcast will feature presentations that will discuss the unique intersection between chronic disease and violence and provide examples of efforts that successfully address both issues. By utilizing innovative approaches and strategies, public health practitioners and other stakeholders at local, state, and national levels can help communities across the country benefit from integrated efforts to prevent violence and increase active living.

The three webinars in this series are: Webinar 1: Using Policy to Prevent Teen Dating Violence; Webinar 2: Exploring the Intersection: Enhancing Active Living through Violence Prevention; Webinar 3: Programs and Partnerships to Prevent Gang-Related Youth Violence

Programs and Partnerships to Prevent Gang-Related Youth Violence

The theme for the 2011 ASTHO, NACCHO, & Safe States Alliance webcast series is “Special Topics in Violence Prevention.”

Gang-related youth violence is a complex public health problem that can be addressed by using innovative, prevention-focused strategies and strong, collaborative partnerships. Acknowledging the impact of firearms on the lethality of gang-related violence, it is critical to explore the public health role in supporting primary and secondary prevention efforts to minimize violence-related firearm deaths and injuries that continue to disproportionately affect youth. This webcast features presentations by professionals and experts that are actively implementing programs in their states and communities to prevent gang-related violence. During this webcast, speakers address the national burden of firearm-related injuries among youth, describe programs currently being implemented to prevent gang-related violence and enhance youth empowerment, and provide insights on how to address the challenges of delivering effective violence prevention programs that utilize a public health approach.

Preventing Youth Sports Concussions: An Overview of Programs, Policy, & Resources

During this webinar, Safe States Alliance, CDC, and the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) provide updates and presentations on programs and policies in Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington that have been developed and implemented to prevent concussions in youth sports.

Evaluating Web-Based Public Health and Public Awareness Campaigns

The theme for the 2012 ASTHO, NACCHO, & Safe States Alliance webcast series is “Using Communication and Media to Prevent Injuries & Violence.”

This is the third webinar in the three-part series. Evaluating public health interventions is a necessary step in determining health improvement. Results from robust evaluations assist public health professionals in identifying the links between program inputs, activities, and outcomes to guide improvement and drive behavior change. The same is true for web-based and multimedia public health campaigns, especially as they are becoming increasingly more common. Evaluating the effects of exposure to public awareness campaigns helps understand how these programs can supplement evidence-based programs, or serve as a standalone strategy for engaging target audiences.

Highlighting examples from public awareness campaigns and web-based social media projects, this webcast will:

Describe methods for evaluation and measurement
Learn how public health agencies have engaged communities and stakeholders through web-based and social media platforms
Discuss the development and outcomes of public health campaigns in the context of promoting mental health, and preventing child abuse and neglect;
Review methods for collecting data during social media events (e.g., live Twitter chats)

The three webinars in this series are: Webinar 1: Making the Front Page: Using Media Strategies to Promote Injury and Violence Prevention Programs, Webinar 2: #Prevention: How State and Local Health Departments Can Capitalize on Social Media, Webinar 3: Evaluating Web-Based Public Health and Public Awareness Campaigns

Broadening the Context for Injury & Violence Prevention: A Cliff Analogy and a Gardener’s Tale

Part 1 of this two-part webinar series on Injury, Violence, Health Equity & Social Justice.

An Introduction to Health Equity & Social Justice

Prevention Institute staff Lisa Fujie Parks, MPH, opened the webinar with a brief introduction to health equity and social justice and their importance to public health practice, including injury and violence prevention. Prevention Institute encourages community health and health equity by facilitating a deeper collective understanding of how root causes — such as racism and poverty — shape community environments and norms which, in turn, influence outcomes for health, safety, and health equity. To learn more, download the Prevention Institute’s fact sheet, Links Between Violence and Health Equity.

Broadening the Context for Injury and Violence Prevention: A Cliff Analogy and a Gardener’s Tale

Featured speaker, Dr. Camara Jones, discussed the interconnections between health interventions, the social determinants of health, health inequity, and the mechanisms by which systems of structured inequity affect populations. Through the lens of the injury and violence prevention goals outlined by Healthy People 2020, Dr. Jones discussed how racism adversely impacts health outcomes and unfairly advantages or disadvantages specific individuals and communities. Using her celebrated article Levels of Racism: A Theoretic Framework and a Gardener’s Tale as a foundation, she offered perspectives on the relationships between race, ethnicity, social class, and health.

Health Equity & Social Justice: Changing the Narrative to Prevent Injuries & Violence

Part 2 of this two-part webinar series on Injury, Violence, Health Equity & Social Justice.

The second webinar in the 2014-2015 ASTHO-NACCHO-Safe States webinar series examined the social and political systems that generate health inequities, and showed how a local health department is working on these inequities through programs relevant to injury and violence prevention.

The Politics of Health Inequity: Public Narrative and Social Justice

Richard Hofrichter, PhD explored how racism and class exploitation are fundamental causes of health inequity, and how the dominant public narrative obscures imbalances in political power and serves to limit public health-driven solutions to programs and services instead of widespread social changes.

Taking Action to Achieve Health Equity: The Alameda County Public Health Department

Katherine Schaff, MPH discussed why the Alameda County Public Health Department (Oakland, CA) is focused on social inequities and health equity, how it promotes health equity through a comprehensive community-centered local policy agenda, and what it took to get there. She provided an overview of ACPHD’s work, including its Place Matters local policy initiative and other concrete examples of working on underlying social inequities.

Introduction to phConnect: A Public Health Networking Website
