As you all know, OPHA is sponsoring an event the evening of February 9 in
conjunction with the NW Environmental Health Conference.  Tickets are now
on sale!!  Please go to this website to purchase them.

https://www.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSearch.jsp?performance_id=1592314&cobrand=mcmenamins

See our Facebook page which has more details:
http://www.facebook.com/events/274984625896572/

This event is open to the public, so tell your friends, family, and
colleagues.  We have some of the leaders in the sustainable food movement
lined up, and I expect a very interesting and lively discussion.  The
discussion will lean toward the social and environmental justice aspects of
our current food system and what is being done to change it.  We are hoping
this event will bring more awareness of both this issue and OPHA and it is
intended to appeal to a broad audience, not just health professionals in
the know.

OPHA will have even more details up on their website shortly.

I look forward to seeing many of you February 9!

through Drexel University, to increase equality for women nationally by
2020, and chairs the Oregon Commission for Women. Prior to joining the
Center, she was Regional Director for a counter-human trafficking
organization in South Asia and ran programs in India, Bangladesh, and
Nepal. She is a recipient of the Tokyo Foundation's International Trade and

Marge Easley will present "The League's Role in Oregon Politics".  Marge

completed a four year term as state president.  She has been a member of
the League?s state action team for many years, and she wants to share with
you what the League is and does and what role it has played in Oregon?s
political process over the last 20 years.

Marge grew up in Pennsylvania, but has lived in Rhode Island, Delaware,
Switzerland, and South Carolina before moving with her husband and daughter
to Wilsonville sixteen years ago. She?s a retired teacher and first joined
the League in South Carolina when her daughter, now a sophomore in college,
was just a toddler.  She joined because she wanted to make a difference in
a small town where the racial inequities and lack of opportunities for
black youths deeply troubled her.  After moving to Oregon, she has followed
a wide range of issues for the League, spends a lot of time at the Capitol
when the Legislature is in session (the short February session is now
underway), and is currently helping to write a history of the League of
Women Voters of Oregon, in honor of the 100th anniversary of women?s
suffrage in Oregon, which is being celebrated this year.

	People
Message-ID: <CAMQr-tWK2JOgZc7YW5rdq=FpvHre0+dhBEzDbrO9O9YPGGu9yw@mail.gmail.com>

On March 19th, the OPHA Health Promotion & Education Section and the
Healthy Environments Section are hosting the Oregon Environmental Council
presentation, *Pollution in People*.



In the Oregon Pollution in People study, a diverse group of ten women and
men volunteered to have their bodies tested in a study of chemical
pollution in Oregonians. Every person tested had at least 9 and as many as
16 toxic chemicals in his or her body including PFCs, phthalates, mercury,
pesticides, bisphenol A, and PCBs.  While some of these toxic chemicals
came from contaminated soil, air, and water, many of the pollutants also
came from food, everyday household dust, and from direct contact with
products such as personal care items, plastic products, consumer
electronics, and stain-resistant furniture. The toxic chemicals in our
bodies are cause for concern because they can lead to health problems and
as this study demonstrates, we are all contaminated with these toxic
chemicals.  This presentation will discuss the chemicals tested for, health
impacts linked to these toxins, and simple steps individuals can take to
reduce exposure to these compounds.

Thank you so much for doing this Josie! I've been meaning to put one
together. A couple people have asked me if non-OPHA members can attend. Is
there room to add a small note on the flyer that it is open to the
public/non-members?

Thank you!

Subject: PHPM Public Health Week Video - we need your feedback!
Importance: High



Dear Faculty, Staff, and Associates,



As you know, National Public Health Week is the first week of April
each year. While in the past PHPM has held day- or week-long events to
celebrate NPHW, this year, we?re hoping to produce a video we?d like
to call This Is Public Health, which we would like to air on Ozone,
the OHSU website, the OHSU Youtube channel, as well as other online
locations. In it, we?d like to show the ways in which public health
affects people in their everyday and not-so-everyday lives. As we
formalize the script, we?d like your feedback!



The 3-minute-long video will be broken into three sections this way:



1.?????? What is Public Health?

a.?????? In this section, we?re looking for dynamic individuals, video
clips, still images, quotes, etc. that explain what public health is ?
from the everyday to the less known.

b.????? Do you have any other thoughts on how best to show or explain
in 30-45 seconds what public health is?

2.?????? This is Public Health

a.?????? In this section, we?re envisioning a video montage of
vignettes of people engaging in different aspects of public health
(for instance, washing their hands before returning to work, getting
vaccinated, putting on a bike helmet, etc.) and at the end of each
vignette we want the individual or group to look at the screen and say
?this is public health.?

b.????? Do you have any other thoughts on how to briefly show people
engaged in easy-to-understand public health activities? The whole
montage will take no more than 60 seconds, probably less.

3.?????? You Are Public Health

a.?????? This is where we really need your help! How do you show in
30-45 seconds how people in the community are a part of public health?



A few notes:

1.?????? All images and videos not produced by OHSU will need a
release in writing stating that the rights are owned by the individual
or agency submitting the data.

2.?????? Furthermore, all non-OHSU human subjects in the film will
need to sign a release.

a.?????? All OHSU employees have already given tacit acceptance of
being filmed and implied release and don?t need to sign a new one.



This week?s NPHW is April 2 ? April 8. This year?s themes are
different for each day of the week and are as follows:



Monday: Active Living and Healthy Eating

Tuesday: Tobacco, Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention

Wednesday: Communicable Disease Prevention

Thursday: Reproductive and Sexual Health

Friday: Mental and Emotional Well-Being



We would like to incorporate these themes into the video if possible ?
or at the very least use them as a template or jumping off point for
discussion.



Deadline for all materials to be submitted to the video production
team is March 13, so we?ll need to get moving on this very soon. We
appreciate any feedback that you may have by Friday, March 16, 2012.



Thank you!

On March 19th, the OPHA Health Promotion & Education Section and the
Healthy Environments Section are hosting the Oregon Environmental Council
presentation, *Pollution in People*.****

 ****

In the Oregon Pollution in People study, a diverse group of ten women and
men volunteered to have their bodies tested in a study of chemical
pollution in Oregonians. Every person tested had at least 9 and as many as
16 toxic chemicals in his or her body including PFCs, phthalates, mercury,
pesticides, bisphenol A, and PCBs.  While some of these toxic chemicals
came from contaminated soil, air, and water, many of the pollutants also
came from food, everyday household dust, and from direct contact with
products such as personal care items, plastic products, consumer
electronics, and stain-resistant furniture. The toxic chemicals in our
bodies are cause for concern because they can lead to health problems and
as this study demonstrates, we are all contaminated with these toxic
chemicals.  This presentation will discuss the chemicals tested for, health
impacts linked to these toxins, and simple steps individuals can take to
reduce exposure to these compounds.****

Greetings all,

Thank you for all of your input and feedback during the implementation
phase of the County's ban on Bisphenol-A. I wanted to share some
informational resources with you. Please distribute them to your
networks and groups as you see fit. I have attached two FAQ sheets and
a guide to assist retailers in evaluating their inventory for products
affected by the ban.

Below you will find links to information for the two public
information?sessions. I would greatly appreciate it if you could
advertise these via your website, social networks, personal networks
etc. We will be presenting the draft rules and enforcement procedures
at these meetings.

Thanks again for being so involved on this important issue and I look
forward to seeing some of you at the public information sessions!

Sincerely,

Matt

CDC is launching a hard-hitting national tobacco education ad campaign today, March 15.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CDC announce the launch of the "Tips from Former Smokers Campaign," a national tobacco education ad campaign featuring real people who suffer daily from smoking-related illness.  The event will take place today, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. EDT, at the Newseum, in Washington, D.C.

A webcast will be available at HHS Live Streaming<http://www.hhs.gov/live>.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius; U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, M.D.; and CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., will speak at the event.

National Tobacco Education Campaign goals are to increase the awareness of the dangers of tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke and motivate smokers to quit.  The primary audience for this campaign is smokers, ages 18-54.  The campaign will include broadcast, print, radio, out-of-home (billboards, bus shelters, and movie theaters) and digital advertising.  This campaign features a variety of real people who have suffered from tobacco-related disease and continue to live with the effects.  To underscore the immediate damage that smoking can have on the body, the ads feature people who experienced smoking-related diseases at a relatively young age.

Watch for more information coming soon on CDC Connects.

pollution in Oregonians. Every person tested had at least 9 and as
many as 16 toxic chemicals in his or her body including PFCs,
phthalates, mercury, pesticides, bisphenol A, and PCBs.  While some of
these toxic chemicals came from contaminated soil, air, and water,
many of the pollutants also came from food, everyday household dust,
and from direct contact with products such as personal care items,
plastic products, consumer electronics, and stain-resistant furniture.
The toxic chemicals in our bodies are cause for concern because they
can lead to health problems and as this study demonstrates, we are all
contaminated with these toxic chemicals.  This presentation will
discuss the chemicals tested for, health impacts linked to these
toxins, and simple steps individuals can take to reduce exposure to
these compounds.

	Workshop May 17th
Message-ID: <CAMQr-tVcGNXyqL1GKmHf6g6W69YWEWWQgT_BKktDHCgx4CE7AA@mail.gmail.com>

Introduction to Popular Education

Hosted by the OPHA Health Promotion and Education Section
Presented by the Community Capacitation Center

Popular education is a highly effective strategy for building
knowledge and skills, developing leadership, and organizing for social
justice. Most closely associated with the adult literacy work of
Brazilian Paulo Freire, popular education is used around the world in
many fields. It is applicable to all areas of educational practice.
Popular education is based on the idea that, no matter our occupation
and level of formal education, we all know a great deal as a result of
our life experience. Therefore educators should start with what people
already know and build on it.

In this workshop, you will become familiar with:

? The underlying philosophy of popular education and key popular
education methods, such as brainstorming, sociodramas (social skits),
cooperative learning, role plays, and din?micas (educational games)
? How to move through the cycle of praxis (from action to reflection
to action) in the course of a class
? How participants can apply what they are learning to their day-to-day work
? How this method can be used to teach any subject
? The history of popular education and how it grew out of the lived
experience of people working for social change.

Registration: Space is limited and participants will be registered on
a first-come, first served basis. Registration information will be
available soon.

Date: May 17th, 2012
Time: 1:00-5:00 pm
Location:
Multnomah Building, Room 280
501 SE Hawthorne St.
Portland 97214

For Immediate Release
THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION, A MULTI-PART, MULTI-PLATFORM SERIES ADDRESSING THE NATIONAL OBESITY EPIDEMIC, DEBUTS IN MAY ON HBO

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13, 2012 - Continuing its tradition of spotlighting the nation's most pressing health issues in such presentations as "Addiction" and "The Alzheimer's Project," HBO addresses obesity in THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION, helping launch one of the most far-reaching public health campaigns on this epidemic to date. The multi-part, multiplatform series debuts in May, exclusively on HBO.

In the U.S., 68% of adults age 20 and over are overweight or obese, while 31.7% of the nation's children and adolescents age two to 19 are overweight or obese.* Obesity contributes to six of the ten leading causes of death in America, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and high blood pressure.**

Bringing together the nation's leading research institutions, THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION is being developed in partnership with the Institute of Medicine (IOM), in association with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Kaiser Permanente.

"Obesity has become one of the most serious threats to the health of the American people," comments Harvey V. Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D., president of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies.

"If we don't succeed in turning this epidemic around, we are going to face, for the first time in our history, a situation where our children are going to live shorter lives than we do," says Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

"Obesity-related health care costs about $147 billion annually, and, on average, someone who is obese costs $1400 more a year to care for," notes Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "To get healthy, we're all going to have to do our part - individuals, communities, local, state and the federal government. If the obesity trend continues, we're going to face steadily increasing health care costs, as well as more lives lost to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, many cancers and other complications from obesity."

THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION comprises four documentary films, a three-part HBO Family series, 14 bonus shorts, a social media campaign, a book published by St. Martin's Press and a nationwide community-based outreach campaign to support the initiative.

The four-part series debuts MONDAY, MAY 14 and TUESDAY, MAY 15, on HBO, with two films airing back-to-back each night. The three-part HBO Family series debuts WEDNESDAY, MAY 16.

To ensure the widest possible audience, HBO will use all its services, including the main HBO channel, multiplex channels, HBO On Demand, HBO GO and more. All films will also stream free of charge on HBO.com, as well as on multiple platforms by participating television service providers.

Three years in the making, THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION spotlights the facts and myths of this urgent public health issue, showing how obesity affects the health of the nation and cripples the health care system. Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and arthritis are just a few of the diseases directly linked to obesity and will dramatically increase if the status quo does not change.

Like many other public health problems, overweight and obesity have disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged communities and racial and ethnic minorities. Nine of the 10 states with the highest obesity prevalence are also among the poorest.***

Americans are eating too much and too often, and not getting enough physical activity. Less healthy foods, such as soda, chips and candy, have become relatively less expensive, while more nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables have become relatively more expensive. What's more, access to healthy food is a challenge for many communities. Compounding the problem are strong societal forces compelling people to eat more and move less.

The centerpiece of THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION is the four-part documentary series, featuring case studies and interviews with leading experts and with individuals and families struggling with obesity.

The first film, "Consequences," examines the scope of the obesity epidemic and explores the serious health consequences of being overweight or obese.

The second film, "Choices," gives viewers the skinny on fat, revealing what science has shown about how to lose weight, maintain weight loss and prevent weight gain.

The third film, "Children in Crisis," documents the damage obesity is doing to the nation's children, tackling subjects ranging from school lunches to the decline of physical education to the marketing of unhealthy food to children.

The fourth film, "Challenges," examines the major forces behind the obesity epidemic, including agriculture, economics, evolutionary biology, food marketing, racial and socioeconomic disparities, physical inactivity, American food culture and the strong influence of the food and beverage industry.

HBO Family's "The Weight of the Nation for Kids," a series of three half-hour films, looks at children who have taken action to prevent obesity in their own lives and communities. From the Rethinkers, a group of New Orleans students, to the heartwarming story of a Goldsboro, NC high school student, the films offer inspiring examples of kids who have made a difference.

In conjunction with the launch of THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION films, the IOM will feature a new report at the CDC's Weight of the Nation(tm) conference, May 7-9, that reviews the progress made to date in curbing obesity and recommends selected strategies and actions that can accelerate progress in the near future.

To facilitate community action, the campaign will reach deep into local areas to distribute 40,000 community action kits to community-based organizations working on obesity prevention. The kits, consisting of the entire series, discussion guides in English and Spanish, and tips and supplemental materials for hosting screenings, will provide essential tools to catalyze and support local efforts in communities that combat obesity across the country.
