Tuberculosis Prevention, Diagnosis, and Care in Manitoba, 2008-2010
Tuberculosis Prevention, Diagnosis, and Care in Manitoba, 2008-2010: A Performance Analysis by C. Andrew Basham A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Community Health Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 by C. Andrew Basham ABSTRACT A cross-sectional study of Manitoba TB Registry data was conducted using a set of performance measures based on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention TB Performance Objectives and Targets framework. The study investigated all cases of TB diagnosed in Manitoba during the period of 2008 to 2010 (inclusive), and their contacts. Seven performance measures (PMs) were analyzed: treatment completion/cure, early diagnosis, HIV testing/reporting, paediatric cases, retreatment cases, contact elicitation, and contact assessment. Ethnic-origin, age, sex, geographic, and treatment history groups were compared on these PMs through log-binomial and robust Poisson regression analyses, implemented through a generalized estimating equations (GEE) modelling approach. An updated epidemiological profile is provided, along with a baseline of performance in TB prevention, diagnosis, and care in Manitoba. Significant differences were found between Manitoba sub-populations in the PMs. The PM framework developed in this study provided valuable information for TB program planning and evaluation. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my Thesis Committee, and in particular Drs. Elias and Orr, for their commitment of time and energy towards this study. I would also like to acknowledge the Western Regional Training Centre in Health Services and Policy Research (WRTC) for providing me the funding to enter the M.Sc. -

(KIM) are collaborating with Mental Wellness Services in Manitoba to support Northern First Nations’ leadership and Health Directors during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Feelings of distress, anxiety, fear, and grief can heighten as Manitoba communities practice social and physical distancing during this unprecedented health crisis. In response to the need for people to access mental wellness support and service during COVID-19, mental wellness teams and programs have adapted their methods of communication and will respond through virtual means to continue serving those coping with suicide attempts, completed suicides, homicide, multiple deaths, trauma due to violent assault, or other serious events that impact many people. Each Wellness Team is committed to: • Providing confidential mental wellness support with a culturally safe and trauma-informed care approach to all Manitoba First Nations on and off reserve. • Ensuring all services and on-call crisis responses are accessible via telephone or text with various services, including virtual support with FaceTime and/or Zoom video conferencing, where applicable. • Ensuring their mental wellness team members and health care providers are trained to help manage an individual's mental health during COVID-19. • Sharing the most current and accurate information-based facts from provincial and federal public health authorities. • Staying informed of safety measures during COVID-19, as guided by the Province of Manitoba Chief Public Health Officer and public health authorities. COVID-19 Community Bulletin #1 for Leadership & Health Directors – April 7, 2020 Mental Wellness Supports in Manitoba Dakota Ojibway Health Services • Available since 2017, the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council (DOTC) based in Headingley, provides an on-call crisis response for youth and adults who are in crisis due to mental health concerns, suicide and/or addiction issues. -
Northern Health Region Community Health Assessment 2019
Northern Health Region Community Health Assessment 2019 Chief Executive Officer 84 Church Street Flin Flon, MB R8A 1L8 Telephone: (204) 687-3010 Fax: (204) 687-6405 Email: [email protected] A Message to the Residents of the Northern Health Region from Helga Bryant, Chief Executive Officer The Northern Health Region’s 2019 Community Health Assessment (CHA) is the product of an intensive year of work by our Community Health Assessment Working Group, staff, physicians, community partners, and residents. This CHA for the Northern Health Region builds on the previous assessment and depicts a true picture of the health of those living in the Northern Region. The health of our communities continues to emerge and we are excited about the direction we are heading; the information gained from the CHA enables our planning for those we serve as we strive for Healthy People, Healthy North. While we still have many health challenges facing our Region, there are some very good closer look stories submitted by our team showing the great strides we have made toward the priorities set out in our latest Strategic Plan. A backdrop to the 2019 CHA and our planning is the system transformation underway in the province. The Provincial Clinical and Preventive Services Plan was recently released and we look forward to working with Shared Health and the Manitoba Government to determine what this plan means for health care in the North. Numerous representatives from our Region participated in the development of this plan and we remain hopeful that the unique challenges for health care in the Northern Health Region are reflected. -

The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people. The idea for the directory arose from the desire to make information about Indigenous organizations more available to the public. This directory was first published in 1975 and has grown from 16 pages in the first edition to more than 100 pages in the current edition. The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Indigenous cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises. The editorial committee has made every effort to present accurate and up-to-date listings, with fax numbers, email addresses and websites included whenever possible. If you see any errors or omissions, or if you have updated information on any of the programs and services included in this directory, please call, fax or write to the Indigenous Relations, using the contact information on the -
Section M: Community Support
Section M: Community Support Page 251 of 653 Community Support Health Canada’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services has developed the Children’s Services Reference Chart for general information on what types of health services are available in the First Nations’ communities. Colour coding was used to indicate where similar services might be accessible from the various community programs. A legend that explains each of the colours /categories can be found in the centre of chart. By using the chart’s colour coding system, resource teachers may be able to contact the communities’ agencies and begin to open new lines of communication in order to create opportunities for cost sharing for special needs services with the schools. However, it needs to be noted that not all First Nations’ communities offer the depth or variety of the services described due to many factors (i.e., budgets). Unfortunately, there are times when special needs services are required but cannot be accessed for reasons beyond the school and community. It is then that resource teachers should contact Manitoba’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services to ask for direction and assistance in resolving the issue. Manitoba’s Regional Advisor, Children’s Special Services, First Nations and Inuit Health Programs is Mary L. Brown. Phone: 204-‐983-‐1613 Fax: 204-‐983-‐0079 Email: [email protected] On page two is the Children’s Services Reference Chart and on the following page is information from the chart in a clearer and more readable format including -
