Scientific Director’s Message
Welcome to this inaugural symposium on population health intervention
research organized by the CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health and
partners in the Population Health Intervention Research Initiative for Canada
(PHIRIC). This initiative aims to increase the quality, quantity and use of
population health intervention research. The field of population health
intervention research is gaining considerable momentum with researchers,
research funders, policy makers and practitioners working in academia,
government and non-governmental organizations in Canada and other
countries. We are delighted to welcome participants from the UK, France,
Portugal, the US and Australia as well as colleagues from different parts of
Canada to critically interrogate the foundations of this newer research field.
There are many pressing population health problems facing our nations today. Whether we are
interested in curbing the growing burden of chronic disease affecting different population groups or in
tackling persistent health inequities within and between countries, population health interventions are
a key part of the solution. Yet what evidence about population health interventions is actually driving
decision-making? Population health interventions are complex and include policy, program and
resource distribution approaches. They are dynamic and can be in and out of the control of researchers.
Population health interventions frequently involve several strategies and require the engagement of
actors both within and outside the health sector. Population health intervention research can
encompass a range of theoretical and methodological approaches ranging from comparative interjurisdictional studies to natural policy experiments, to community intervention trials to name but a few.
To help us reflect on these and other important questions, we have assembled an impressive group of
speakers and also built into the program an opportunity to hear from all participants on how best we
can work towards collective solutions. The symposium objectives include to:
Create a forum to identify issues relevant to advancing the science of population health
intervention research by engaging researchers and decision-makers from diverse disciplines
and sectors
2. Identify emergent population health intervention priorities and the data infrastructure that is
needed to support related research
3. Showcase examples from Canada and other countries of how population health intervention
research can add value to policy and practice.
1.
We need to drive home the importance and improve the relevance and use of population health
intervention research. Through this symposium and other initiatives, we hope to stimulate
interdisciplinary dialogue and encourage theoretical and methodological advances in the field of
population health intervention research. We look forward to hearing your ideas and discussing the
conundrums you face in the generation and application of evidence about population health
interventions. Through our joint efforts, we will strengthen the evidence base for policy and program
decisions to improve population health and reduce health inequities.

Message de la directrice scientifique
Nous vous souhaitons la bienvenue à ce Colloque inaugural sur la recherche
interventionnelle en santé des populations, qui est organisé par l’Institut de la santé
publique et des populations des IRSC et les partenaires de l’Initiative de recherche
interventionnelle en santé des populations du Canada (IRISPC). Cette initiative vise
à accroître la qualité, la quantité et l’utilisation de la recherche interventionnelle en
santé des populations. La recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations est
un domaine en pleine croissance qui intéresse un grand nombre de chercheurs, de
bailleurs de fonds, de décideurs et de praticiens travaillant au sein d’universités ou
d’organisations gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, au Canada et dans
d’autres pays. Nous sommes heureux d’accueillir des participants du Royaume-Uni,
de la France, du Portugal, des États-Unis et de l’Australie ainsi que des collègues de
différentes régions du Canada pour analyser les bases de ce nouveau domaine de
recherche.
À l’heure actuelle, nos pays doivent faire face à de nombreux problèmes urgents en ce qui a trait à la santé des
populations. Qu’il s’agisse de freiner la progression des maladies chroniques touchant différents groupes de la
population ou de s’attaquer aux inégalités persistantes en matière de santé au sein des pays et entre ces
derniers, les interventions en santé des populations constituent une partie importante de la solution. Pourtant,
il y a lieu de se demander quelles interventions en santé des populations orientent réellement la prise de
décision. Les interventions en santé des populations sont complexes et impliquent des approches concernant
les politiques, les programmes et la distribution des ressources. Ces interventions sont dynamiques et peuvent
être réalisées avec ou sans le concours des chercheurs. Les interventions en santé des populations font
souvent appel à de nombreuses stratégies et nécessitent la participation de personnes travaillant dans le
secteur de la santé et à l’extérieur de celui-ci. La recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations peut
englober toute une gamme d’approches théoriques et méthodologiques, notamment des études entre
provinces ou pays, des expériences naturelles dans le domaine des politiques et des essais d’interventions dans
la communauté.
Pour nous éclairer sur ces questions importantes, nous avons réuni un imposant groupe de conférenciers et
avons prévu, dans le programme, la possibilité d’entendre tous les participants sur les meilleures façons
d’arriver à des solutions collectives. Les objectifs du colloque sont :
1.
de créer une tribune en vue de cerner les enjeux pertinents pour l’avancement de la recherche
interventionnelle en science de la santé des populations, grâce à la participation de chercheurs et de
responsables des politiques provenant de divers secteurs et disciplines;
2.
de déterminer les nouvelles priorités des interventions en santé des populations ainsi que
l’infrastructure de données qui permettrait d’appuyer la recherche dans ce domaine;
3.
d’illustrer, au moyen d’exemples canadiens et étrangers, la valeur ajoutée que représente la recherche
interventionnelle en santé des populations pour les politiques et la pratique.
Nous devons améliorer la pertinence et l’utilisation de la recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations
et convaincre nos milieux de son importance. Grâce à ce Colloque et à d’autres initiatives, nous espérons
stimuler le dialogue interdisciplinaire et favoriser les percées théoriques et méthodologiques dans le domaine
de la recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations. Nous avons hâte d’entendre vos idées et de
discuter des problèmes auxquels vous devez faire face pour générer des données probantes et les mettre en
application dans des interventions en santé des populations. Grâce à nos efforts conjoints, nous aurons une
meilleure base de données probantes pour étayer la prise de décisions en ce qui a trait aux politiques et aux
programmes afin d’améliorer la santé de la population et de réduire les inégalités en matière de santé.
