This case attempts to help students understand the various terminologies (“frameworks”, “pathways”, “models”, etc.) used by organizations in planning, implementing, and evaluating programs and interventions. It is based on the work done by the Center for Global Health at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto on the Knowledge Management Initiative (KMI) of the Muskoka Initiative Consortium (MIC). The case starts by reprising the Muskoka I and II Initiatives, and then focuses on the global context before narrowing down to programs and interventions for maternal health in Mali.

Canadians are healthier than ever before, and live longer. But improvements in health are not distributed evenly between population groups. In fact, studies show that only 25% of our health is determined by health care and 15% by our genetics. The remaining 60% is determined by factors outside the traditional health care system, such as our income and social status, education, employment and working conditions, social support networks, social and physical environments, and culture. These factors are called the social determinants of health (SDOH). When these conditions are distributed in ways that are unfair, unjust, or avoidable, they are termed …

The Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) is challenged with regards to influencing health behaviours of private well water users. Private well owners are responsible for the testing of their water, and it is recommended by Public Health Ontario to do so three times per year. However, testing rates are either declining or at best, remaining stagnant across Middlesex County. It appears that well owners are unaware of the risks of not testing their drinking water, or if they are, they have become complacent. In short, the health unit is lacking an appropriate knowledge and education dissemination strategy that is suitable and …

An intern at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in Washington, DC is conducting an economic impact assessment of a Chikungunya epidemic in the Caribbean. PAHO would like to promote preparedness amongst PAHO member states and forecasting the economic impact may encourage governments to increase disease mitigation efforts. Chikungunya had been spreading through the Caribbean for several months and concerns about the impact of an epidemic in Jamaica were heightened by its reliance on tourism. The intern must incorporate information from a variety of sources to forecast the burden of disease and cost of illness of a Chikungunya outbreak in …
