“Apart from hermits, people live
and work in groups . . So if you
have it in mind to influence the
way in which life goes on, you
will not do it solely by trying to
influence people-as-individuals,
you will have also to think of
people-in-groups.”

Social Science Key to
Restoring Health
“The puzzles of better health
promotion and disease
prevention may be approached
more rapidly and effectively
through intensified social
science research, rather than by
awaiting the expected evolution
of gene-based explanations and
interventions based on future
genetic discoveries.”
• Floyd Bloom, President Am.
Assoc. for the Advancement of
Science (2003)
Community is…
 “a group of people who share a
common culture, identify
themselves as a group, and
usually live within a defined
geographical area” (WHO, 1985)
 “a body of people living near one
or another and in social
relationship; a body of people
with a faith, profession or way of
life in common; common
ownership; a sharing” (Webster’s
Encyclopedic Dictionary, 1988)
Community is…
 “a group of inhabitants living in a
somewhat localized area under the
same general regulation and
having common norms, values and
organization” (Green and Ottoson,
1994)
 “a group of people residing in
specific geographical area who
have common values, cultural
patterns and social problems,
together with an awareness of
belonging to a group that causes
them to interact more intensely
with one another than they would
with outsiders in a similar context”
(Agudelo, 1983 in Jewkes, 1996)
Community is…
 “is whatever one wishes it to be;
but it is always (1) more than one
person, (2) sharing, (3)
commonalities” (Community
Building Resources, Roberts,
1997)
 “when a group has the power to
decide what is a problem, the
power to decide how to solve the
problem, and the power to
become an active part of
implementing the solution
(McKnight and de Toqueville in
Roberts, 1997)
Shared themes…
Shared geographical location
Shared needs
Shared interest
Sense of belonging
Health is…
 The absence of disease or illness
 A state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease and infirmity
(WHO, 1974)
 The ability to identify and to realize
aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to
change or cope with the environment;
a resource for everyday life, not the
objective of living; a positive concept
emphasizing social and personal
resources, as well as physical
capacities.” (WHO, 1986).
Community
Nutrition…
Emerged as an important
component of health and social
programs in the early 1940s.”
(WHO, 1986).
Aims to prevent problems
related both to food
insufficiencies and excesses,
and to promote well-being
through a secure and safe food
supply and healthful eating
habits

Life Expectancy
 “Some Canadians live their lives in
excellent health with one of the
highest life expectancies in the
world . . . Others spend their life in
poor health, with a life expectance
similar to some third world
countries. We cannot correct this
inequity through the health care
delivery system itself, regardless of
the expenditure we devote to it.”

Strengthening Public
Health Nutrition Practice
in Canada
 Public health nutrition requires the
leadership of dietitians with
expertise in nutrition, food systems
& related public health sciences.
 Public health nutrition practice
encompasses the assessment,
promotion, protection &
enhancement of health & the
prevention of nutrition related
disease.
 Using population health & health
promotion approaches, strategies
focus on the interactions among the
determinants of heath, food security,
& nutritional & overall health.
Pan Canadian Task Force on Public Health
Nutrition Practice, 2009
Strengthening Public
Health Nutrition Practice
in Canada
All dietetic students and/or
interns are exposed to public

Dietetic competencies are

foundation for desired public
health practice

Wellbeing
 Institute of Wellbeing adopted
this working definition:
 “The presence of the highest
possible quality of life in its full
breadth of expression, focused on
but not necessarily exclusive to:
good living standards, robust health,
a sustainable environment, vital
communities, an educated populace,
balanced time use, high levels of
civic participation, and access to and
participation in dynamic arts,
culture & recreation.”
Institute of
Wellbeing, 2009
Canadian Index of
Wellbeing
CIW – www.ciw.ca
a new method for measuring
Canadian quality of life

(i.e., GDP)
Measures 8 interconnected areas
of wellbeing
Standard of living -- Education
Health
-- Way we use
our time
Vitality of communities
state of arts, culture, recreation,
environment
Bringing it together
“If we want Canadians to be
the healthiest people in the
world . . . We have to cure
‘hardening of the categories’
which has over the years
drastically compartmentalized
many of the policy and
programmatic tools that must
be brought together to move us
along the health outcome
continuum.”

Council of Canada, 2004
