A positive vibe reflects because we met for a restful dinner with good friends from the best seven years of our lives in middle|highscool. 🧿 Yesterday's brainstorming session was about public-private-university collaborations for critical outcomes in public health research.

Unfair knowledge practices in global health reinforce inequities and violate the dignity of those affected. These practices favor the perspectives of high-income country, and otherwise privileged, researchers and institutions while simultaneously failing to remedy the problems they purport to solve. Global health academic research, unfortunately, lacks adequate representation from the global South and otherwise marginalized groups and remains deeply entrenched in a culture of colonialism that is counterproductive to its aims. Our eighth annual Quie and Peterson Lecture focuses on the issue of epistemic injustice in global health and how academicians can identify their own biases, learn what holds those biases in place, and create practices better tailored to serve the communities they work with. Join us on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from noon to 1:15 p.m. to hear Dr. Seye Abimbola speak to epistemic injustice in global health and strategies to create more equitable practices in the field.

A confluence of factors is attributable for an emerging distrust in public health science. Populism, authoritarianism, identity politics, socio-political trends, misinformation through social media, and the historic harms of unconsensual/unethical research on people of color and the most vulnerable. Undoubtedly these issues help us make sense of what’s happening. Tomorrow, we will reflect on what got us here and more important, how do we move the needle - all for the sake of health - locally, nationally and globally? With special guest and distinguished School of Health Professor, Jack Leslie. In person only: https://lnkd.in/eYVJhA2P

"Changing unhealthy behaviors is the single greatest opportunity to reduce premature deaths" (Schroeder et al., 2007). This is a powerful insight shared by Dr. Suzan Czajkwoski at the IBTN - International Behavioural Trials Network summer school. 💡 It emphasizes the critical link between personal behavior and health outcomes, reflecting the core principles of behavioral medicine. 👉 Behavioral medicine, coupled with implementation science, provides a pathway for translating evidence into effective interventions that have a tangible impact on public health. As Dr. Czajkwoski pointed out, the challenge is: "How can we design more effective health-related behavior change interventions?" 💪 "Nothing as good as a good challenge." #BehavioralMedicine #PublicHealth #ImplementationScience

Featured resource: 'Translating policy into practice by engaging older persons and their carers as co-researchers' This briefing calls for the greater involvement of older persons and their carers in participatory health research as 'co-researchers' to develop better solutions. Although there is considerable evidence around older persons and participatory research, little guidance exists for researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers around how to engage older persons and their carers in research.
