Cancer Screening Spread Project

Knowledge Translation Project with Echo: Improving Women's Health in Ontario

CCBR believes that knowledge leads to change when it is a catalyst for bringing people together and focusing their energy on addressing a common concern. This belief is at the very core of the current Cancer Screening Spread project.

    Background

Echo: Improving Women’s Health in Ontario (Echo) is an agency of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Echo works through strategic partnerships to ensure gender-based analysis supports decisions that affect women.  They also collaborate with diverse stakeholders and act as the provincial advisor on women’s health to the Government of Ontario. Echo is currently embarking on four community based demonstration projects in different parts of Ontario. These demonstration projects are designed to increase cancer screening for women who are seldom or never screened.

Cancer Screening Spread

CCBR is collaborating with Echo staff to facilitate an engagement process that supports relationship formation and knowledge translation related to key learnings from the cancer screening demonstration projects. The purpose of the engagement process is to use critical reflection on innovative practice and the creation of a shared vision of system change to advance cancer screening capacity for women seldom or never screened across Ontario. To fulfill this purpose, an advisory committee will work closely with CCBR and Echo in developing a series of engagement events and conferences, intended to bring stakeholders from across the province together in order to share learnings and mobilize people to make a change in their daily practice. CCBR, Echo and the advisory committee will also produce and develop a documentary/video, which will serve as a tool for non-participating groups to be able to build their own cancer screening programs based on learnings from demonstration projects.
