Substance Use Health is a lens that frames substance use in relation to a spectrum encompassing non-use, beneficial uses, occasional risks or harms, use that has ongoing or understood harms and consequences, and substance use disorders. It encompasses harm reduction to promote health in relation to using substances. Working with people to support their priorities with regard to Substance Use Health means a) prioritizing self-determined health goals as the primary service success outcome, b) removing barriers to care, including intersecting forms of stigma, and c) facilitating access to social determinants of health for those with inadequate access. Substance Use Health is increasingly being integrated as an essential component of health equity actions within organizations and at the point of care.

The Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE) envisions that all health professionals throughout the world – doctors, nurses, and public health leaders and practitioners – will be trained to prevent, reduce, and respond to the health impacts of climate change. To achieve this vision, we created the 1 year intensive Climate and Health Education Student Fellowship – to educate and empower the next generation of health professions students to become global climate and health leaders and communicators in their respective fields and within interdisciplinary collaborations.

Women+ and Children’s Health Sciences Program of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UBC is looking to recruit an undergraduate or graduate volunteer student to collaborate as a second reviewer in the data analysis for a scoping review on the experiences of people accessing abortion and post-abortion care in Latin America. This student will be listed as a co-author on the final publication. The student must be fluent in Spanish as some of the papers will be in Spanish. We anticipate that the analysis will take at most 20 hours, and the timeline will be defined with the first reviewer. The responsibilities of a second reviewer include the first screening of search results – abstracts and titles (based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria), a second screening of the entire documents and filling the analysis tool that the first reviewer will provide. Finally, the student will receive small training on JBI methodology for scoping reviews and a stipend for participation ($25/hr for undergraduate students or MD and $30/hr for graduate students).
Contact paulaph@student.UBC.ca if you are interested or have questions.
