Presentations (2007)
I am involved in face-to-face province-wide knowledge translation related to prevention of substance use during pregnancy, related to the ActNow BC Healthy Choices in Pregnancy initiative. In the course of this work, I make up to 8 presentations per month with physicians, nurses, addictions workers, violence workers, pregnancy outreach providers, social workers and many other community based professionals. In addition, I regularly facilitate virtual sessions on women and substance use issues with nationally based participants as a part of a national project funded by Health Canada under the Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund, entitled Coalescing on Women and Substance Use, Linking Research Practice and Policy. The following 9 selected presentations are illustrative of other types of presentations recently completed.
