Objectives

To advance our collective progress on chronic disease prevention, CDPAC 2014 aims to: ƒ

• Showcase collaborative partnerships across sectors and disciplines, including the private sector, which successfully address inequities related to chronic disease.
• Raise the profile of exemplary initiatives addressing specific sub-groups of the population that carry a particularly heavy burden of chronic diseases and their risk factors (e.g., Aboriginal, immigrant, mental health, low socioeconomic status).
• Provide opportunities for networking, focused dialogue, and the creation of action-oriented linkages across individuals, organizations, strategies and sectors concerned with chronic disease prevention. ƒ
• Encourage all conference delegates to make a commitment to take action, building upon the evidence and insights shared and generated at the conference.
