Healthy Choices in Pregnancy (HCIP) is a component of the current ActNow BC health promotion platform. A target of a 50% increase in women counseled on alcohol use during pregnancy has been set for the HCIP initiative.
Researchers and knowledge translators at the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health (BCCEWH) are working in collaboration with representatives of BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre and the British Columbia Reproductive Care Program on provincial education and resource development initiatives for ActNow BC – Healthy Choices in Pregnancy.
Educational Sessions with Service Providers
Educational sessions are being offered to service providers in provincial forums and at the regional and community levels. Service providers from a range of disciplines and sectors are invited to attend these sessions to ensure a coordinated, informed, respectful response to women challenged by alcohol and tobacco use, as well as related health and social concerns, pre, during and post pregnancy.
BCCEWH research in the areas of women-centred care, women and substance use, harm reduction, and FASD and women’s health has contributed to the evidence-base for the provincial curriculum.
Provincial Resource Development
Print, media and web-based materials are being developed to meet the learning needs of service providers, women, and their partners/family/friends.
