  1. The Manitoba Risk Factor Surveillance Experience

  2. Why Risk Factor Surveillance? • Identified as top priority by PHAC, CPHA, many institutes of the CIHR, Pan-Canadian Healthy Living Strategy & CDPAC • New investment in integrated CDP: MHHL, PHAC, CCMB, CCS, H&SF-MB, RHAs • In Manitoba, local level data was needed for CDPI & healthy living planning • Lack local data or capacity to collect to data • Need new data collection mechanisms for community-level data • No pre-existing surveillance tool for collecting local level data was available in MB

  3. Local Context • Triggers: • CDPI grant money • Lack of local-level data • Well developed HPWG that understood the information needs of the communities • HPWG worked to develop a tool & process to meet the needs of the communities • IRHA tool was then adopted by other RHAs to meet their surveillance needs • Went looking for partners to collaborate with (NGOs & others)

  4. Characteristics • C of P to help each other & operate as a system – Partners in Planning for Health Living • Came together to pool our resources, work together in a collegial manner to build our own capacity & to use evidence to build an integrated knowledge system. We share common mandates for the prevention of chronic diseases. • Focused on evidence • Support development of knowledge and capacity within communities • Support integrated community planning for healthy living

  6. Challenges & Opportunities • Manitoba approach supports multi-level leadership & collaboration (RHAs, School Boards, NGOs, Manitoba Health, PHAC, others) to build sustainability • Working & learning together while meeting local needs • Manitoba geography makes collaboration difficult & expensive • Challenge to develop shared meaning; link surveillance to planning & interventions and further evaluation – to think and act as a system
