To ensure the BC health research strategy will meet the needs of the health
research community in BC, we are looking for input from a wide range of
individuals. One element of our multi-pronged consultation process is an
online survey that we are hoping will be completed by as many stakeholders
as possible.

A Statement from the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, Canadian Policy
Coalition and PIVOT

JUNE 6, 2013 - Flouting the Supreme Court of Canada, today the federal
government has introduced in Parliament a bill that aims to make it even
more difficult for health authorities and community agencies to offer
supervised drug consumption services, such as Vancouver's Insite, to
Canadians who are among those most at risk of HIV infection and fatal
overdose. Bill C-65 introduces numerous conditions that the government says
must be met before the Minister of Health will issue an exemption under the
Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) to allow a supervised
consumption service to operate. Without such an exemption, people using the
service risk being criminally charged for drug possession, effectively
undermining the ability of health services to reach those at greatest
risk.

In Canada and other high-income countries, in the 1970s and '80s hepatitis
C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and later HIV and other germs were
sometimes transmitted via transfusion of contaminated blood and use of
products derived from contaminated blood (such as clotting factors).
However, thanks to screening of the blood supply, transmission of HCV, HBV
and HIV via blood or blood products is virtually non-existent in Canada and
similar countries today.

This Community Readiness Handbook was prepared in response to the many
requests from the field for an easy-to-use guide. In the pages that follow,
the key concepts of the model are described in a practical, step-by-step
manner. The purpose is to guide communities or researchers in using the
model to better understand the process of community change and to develop
effective, culturally appropriate, and community-specific strategies for
prevention and intervention. It is our hope that this handbook will
facilitate those efforts in working toward healthier communities.
