Riding the third wave to health equity? An investigation of a relational knowledge translation pedagogy in addressing low-income housing and environmental health risks
FY 2014-15
Summary
The proposed research will investigate whether and how a novel training program that seeks to enhance human interaction and overcome sectoral divides among participants may serve to enhance knowledge-to-action efforts on complex health equity challenges. Specifically, the research will characterize and evaluate the effects of applying the immersive "Knowledge Leaders" training program, successfully piloted tested with CIHR support in 2012-2013, in a real-world context: the "RentSafe" initiative, led by the Canadian Parnership for Children's Health and Environment, on child health inequities associated with environmental health risks in low-income housing. The proposed research, and the Knowledge Leaders Field Test within which it will be conducted, promise to offer new pathways that enable stakeholders to overcome disciplinary and sectoral divides in moving scientific and experiential knowledge into meaningful action on entrenched health inequities.
