<p class=MsoNormal>Over the past two years, a Task Force of the Working Group
on CBPHC has been guiding a review of the effectiveness of CBPHC in improving
child health. The workshop will focus on the findings from this review and will
also provide an opportunity for current insights provided by distinguished
CBPHC practitioners.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In the morning, Paul Freeman and Henry Perry will summarize
the findings of the CBPHC review and its implications for policy, practice and
research. Paul and Henry are Co-Chairs of the Task Force guiding the review.
Paul is an international public health consultant based in Seattle, WA, and
Henry is Carl Taylor Professor for Equity and Empowerment at Future
Generations, in Franklin, WV. Several exemplary case studies of outstanding
examples of CBPHC in improving child health will also be presented. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This review now benefits from the active collaboration of a
distinguished Expert Review Panel from around the world, the World Health
Organization, UNICEF, and the World Bank.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Joining us for the afternoon will be Lisa Howard-Grabman and
James Phillips. Lisa is a renowned trainer in community empowerment and
developer of the Warmi method of women’s empowerment for improving
maternal and perinatal health, which is now being implemented in a number of
countries and showing exciting results. James Phillips is a long-time Senior
Associate in the Policy Research Division of the Population Council and has
worked since 1999 on the Navrongo Initiative in Ghana, which is one of the
exciting community-based programs to improve child health which has been
identified by our review.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The workshop will be highly interactive. Participants at all
levels of public health experience are welcome – from students to highly
seasoned professionals. Registration for the APHA Annual Meeting is not
required. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The cost is $10 (payable at the door).<o:p></o:p></p>
