Care Education Project

Is
alcohol really good for you? According to the
media, the answer would be yes. What does the
research really show and how does it impact
the health of your patients/clients?
The
purpose for this project is to provide information
and useable tools to assist health professionals
in their client interviews and to help them
assess whether clients could benefit from some
guidance.
The
Objectives for the education project were:
-
To
increase professional knowledge regarding
the causal links between alcohol and stroke.
-
To
increase professional knowledge regarding
the causal links between alcohol and cancer.
-
To
increase professional knowledge and
awareness of current alcohol screening
and intervention tools and to provide
a forum for discussion and dialogue
between stakeholders.
-
To
increase awareness of provincial, regional
and local experts and services regarding
alcohol, stroke and cancer.
We
welcome the opportunity to understand the perspectives
of physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners,
public health, social workers, addictions counselors
and stroke professionals, who each play a key
role in in assessing and treating alcohol risk
for cancer and stroke.
