“…6 This is aligned with public health's increasing focus on the determinants of health and healthy communities, 8 along with a recognition that hypertension, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity are the leading risk factors for mortality today (responsible for 7.5, 3.2 and 2.8 million annual deaths globally). 9 In addition to support from health system management, assumption of this expanded responsibility demands that practitioners reimagine their roles, develop competency on BE issues related to chronic diseases, strengthen relationships with other public health professionals, and collaborate with other sectors.…”

“…Third, some EPH professionals participate in community planning processes around land use and transportation, allowing them to raise awareness of the links between the BE and chronic disease prevention. 6 In some jurisdictions, approval of local public health authorities is required for land-use plans, 7 a powerful tool to ensure that both acute and chronic health considerations are incorporated into BE planning.…”

What role for environmental public health practitioners in promoting healthy built environments?

Spaces that encourage better health are increasingly seen as key to reducing the burden of chronic disease: many larger Canadian public health departments now include built environment (BE) teams, which work with municipalities and land use planners to promote and/or require the development of healthencouraging spaces. In many public health agencies, it is environmental health practitioners who have assumed the new healthy BE role, but at what cost to existing mandates? We argue that reinventing roles to increase BE capacities within environmental health practice would reinforce health protection mandates while building capacity in chronic disease prevention. Significant expansion into the design of healthier built environments may require some reallocation of resources. However, we anticipate that healthier built environments will reduce threats to health and so lessen the need for conventional health protection, while encouraging activities and behaviours that lead to greater population wellness.KEY WORDS: Built environment; chronic disease; environmental health; health hazards; public health practice La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

OBJECTIVES:The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer funded 12 large-scale knowledge to action cancer and chronic disease prevention projects between 2009 and 2016 through the Coalitions Linking Action and Science for Prevention (CLASP) initiative. Two projects, Healthy Canada by Design (HCBD) and Children's Mobility, Health and Happiness (CMHH), developed policies to address physical activity and the built environment through a multisectoral approach. A qualitative analysis involving a review of 183 knowledge products and 8 key informant interviews was conducted to understand what policy changes occurred, and the underlying critical success factors, through these projects. SETTING:Both projects worked at the local level to change physical activity and built environment policy in 203 sites, including municipalities and schools. Both projects brought multisectoral expertise (e.g., public health, land use planning, transportation engineering, education, etc.) together to inform the development of local healthy public policy in the areas of land use, transportation and school travel planning. INTERVENTION:Through the qualitative analysis of the knowledge products and key informant interviews, 163 policies were attributed to HCBD and CMHH work. OUTCOMES:Fourteen "pathways to policy" were identified as critical success factors facilitating and accelerating the development and implementation of physical activity and built environment policy. Of the 14 pathways to policy, 8 had a focus on multisectoral collaboration. IMPLICATIONS:The lessons learned from the CLASP experience could support enhanced multisectoral collaborations to accelerate the development and implementation of physical activity and built environment policy in new jurisdictions across Canada and internationally.KEY WORDS: Public health; policy; physical activity; environment design; city planning; collaboration La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

“…[1][2][3] Consequently, there is a growing interest within public health to work with planners on land use planning initiatives such as official plans and transportation master plans. [4][5][6][7][8] As this is an emerging area of collaboration, more education is needed for public health and planning professionals to more effectively work together. [9][10][11] To meet this need, a volunteer-led collaborative project entitled "Public Health and Planning 101" (the Project) was initiated by the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA), the Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).…”

The Public Health and Planning 101 project aimed to increase cross-disciplinary knowledge among public health and planning professionals involved in the land use planning process. The multi-disciplinary project team administered an online survey in 2012 to Ontario public health and planning professionals in order to identify learning needs related to the built environment that would inform the development of the education module. The survey asked about built environment work, experience with collaborations, barriers faced working with the other profession, and learning needs. Most survey respondents agreed that both professions should be working together on the built environment, although only half indicated they actually were. The survey findings revealed the need for an education module to help public health and planning professionals collaborate in the land use planning process in Ontario, and to help inform policy related to healthy built environments.
