Aboriginal Head Start in Urban and Northern Communities
Name of Transfer Payment Program: Aboriginal Head Start in Urban and Northern Communities (AHSUNC). This transfer payment is a voted program.
Start Date: 1995–96
End Date: Ongoing
Fiscal Year for Terms & Conditions: 2009–10
Strategic Outcome: Canada is able to promote health, reduce health inequalities, and prevent and mitigate disease and injury
Program Activity: Health Promotion
Description: This program builds capacity by providing funding to Aboriginal community organizations to deliver comprehensive, culturally appropriate, early childhood development programs for Aboriginal preschool children and their families living off-reserve and in urban and northern communities across Canada. It engages stakeholders and supports knowledge development and exchange on promising public health practices for Aboriginal preschoolers through training, meetings and workshops. The primary goal of the program is to mitigate inequities in health and developmental outcomes for Aboriginal children in urban and northern settings by supporting early intervention strategies that cultivate a positive sense of self, a desire for learning, and opportunities to develop successfully as young people. Funded projects offer programming focused on health promotion, nutrition, culture and language, parent and family involvement, social support and educational activities. The program responds to a gap in culturally appropriate programming for Aboriginal children and families living in urban and northern communities. Research confirms that early childhood development programs can provide long-term benefits such as lower costs for remedial and special education, increased levels of high school completion and better employment outcomes. The contribution is not repayable.
Expected Results: Community based organizations funded by AHSUNC promote supportive environments for Aboriginal children and families living in urban and northern communities Performance Indicators include
- # of children and families participating in AHSUNC-funded projects
- # of children and families participating in AHSUNC-funded projects relative to eligible children on waiting lists for AHSUNC
- Proportion of children and families participating in AHSUNC funded projects relative to their representation in the general population

Start Date: 2005–06
End Date: Ongoing
Fiscal Year for Terms and Conditions: 2009–10
Strategic Outcome: Canada is able to promote health, reduce health inequalities, and prevent and mitigate disease and injury
Program Activity: Disease and Injury Prevention and Mitigation
Description: The Diabetes Program supports the prevention, early detection and management of diabetes among at risk and underserved populations by providing stakeholders with relevant, evidence-based tools and resources, generated through funding agreements with community-based and non-profit organizations. Dissemination of the learnings from these projects enables stakeholders to incorporate evidence-based knowledge into the design and implementation of public health policies and programs. Through leadership, the program facilitates partnerships of government and non-government organizations, as well as private industry to ensure that resources are deployed to maximum effect. It responds to the rising incidence of diabetes due to an increasingly inactive and overweight Canadian population and is based on evidence demonstrating that late diagnosis and poor self-management of diabetes can lead to serious complications such as kidney and heart disease. The program is geared toward intermediaries who support those most at risk of the disease including Aboriginal peoples living off-reserve, some ethno-cultural communities and low-income Canadians. The goal is to reduce the severity and burden of diabetes and its complications by increasing access to evidence-based knowledge and interventions that enable intermediaries to support the prevention, early detection and management of diabetes among at risk and underserved populations through improved screening and multi-disciplinary support. This contribution is not repayable.
Expected Results:
- Community-based and non-profit organizations have access to credible evidence-based information in support of at risk and underserved populations
- PHAC evidence-based information is of a high quality, objective, and meets the needs of diabetes-related key stakeholders who design chronic disease policy initiatives and programs that support at risk and underserved populations.
Performance measures include:
- % of community-based and non-profit organizations who access diabetes knowledge products / interventions
- Level of usage1 of diabetes knowledge products / interventions.

Notes:
-
1 A standard definition for "usage" for the Agency is not currently available, and in relation to this Expected Result, it was intentionally left broad in order to allow flexibility in the development of a measurement tool. This tool could build on some existing work (Skinner 2007) looking at measuring knowledge exchange outcomes, which view a similar concept of Uptake as "reflecting behavioural efforts to use the materials." This is consistent with the PHAC Strategic Plan, 2007–2012, which notes: "The information that the Agency is collecting and managing must be translated into useful knowledge and shared for the benefit of decision-makers and stakeholders... Furthermore, the information that is gathered through PHAC's programs must be translated into useful knowledge that can be used by other programs and our partners and stakeholders across the country" (page 16). The target/tolerance of high / medium / low will be interpreted as an index of stakeholder ratings of several key aspects of 'usage' through a survey tool to be developed at a later date.
