SIG Webinar: Inclusive Research and Program Development: 5 Lessons from Reality TV on Health Equity
Tuesday, May 23, 2023
1600, UTC
6 PM, Oslo
11 AM, Texas
What do home makeover shows have to do with health equity? Everything. Home design is all about choices. Making your choices an intentional part of research in health equity can transform complex challenges into elegant results. This interactive workshop rethinks traditional approaches to health research, whether on physical activity, nutrition, or access to health information and services, using design as a method for incorporating diverse voices, including historically under-represented groups of people, in the research process. You’ll come away with a concrete roadmap you can use to co-create your next research project!
Sample questions attendees will encounter include: In what ways are we intentionally or unintentionally excluding subsets of the community? How can we be better listeners, communicators, and advocates for our communities? How can we center equity in our work?
Participants will leave equipped with the knowledge and ability to use inclusive design in their own work. They will also be challenged to identify their roles in promoting equity while creating actionable steps to promote inclusive design in the future. This workshop will challenge and encourage participants to self-reflect, peer-educate, and raise their own consciousness surrounding accessible initiatives.
Speakers: Anthony Giannoumis, Sumita Kunashakaran
Moderators: Laurel Curran

SIG Webinar: Equity Considerations in Evidence Synthesis
Wednesday, June 7, 2023
2 PM, Vancouver
5 PM, Ottawa
10 PM, London
11 PM, Paris/Berlin
Thursday, June 8, 2023 (AEDT)

Different populations may experience different burden of disease and require different treatments or policies to meet their health needs. Yet, traditional evidence synthesis (e.g. systematic reviews and meta-analyses) underlying health guidelines and policy frequently is unable to identify differential needs for different populations. Instead, factors related to equity are frequently not considered in evidence syntheses. This webinar will introduce equity and related topics for consideration in the (co)production of evidence syntheses with speakers from several Cochrane Methods Groups (Campbel and Cochrane Equity Methods Group, Prospective Meta-Analysis Methods Group).
You can sign up [HERE].
Speakers: Omar Dediwar (Canada), Olivia Magwood (Canada), Kylie Hunter (Australia)
Moderators: Maureen Ashe, Anna Lene Seidler
