Dr. Laitsch responded to the presentations and discussion sessions held throughout the day and indicated what he thought were the main ideas. His feedback included the following:
Collaborations-Recognize the importance of fostering collaborations and coalitions, and act to build or strengthen them.
Research/Evidence Translation-Develop ways that evidence can be presented in an efficient and compelling manner. For instance, combine the six articles published in the Journal of School Health into one publication so that the material is presented together.
Networks-Build networks to share information quickly and efficiently.
Electronic Dissemination-Maintain current electronic dissemination databases and seek ways to improve them.
Develop Items for Action-Learn new material and research necessary information before attending meetings so that action items can be developed.
Remaining Questions-Consider questions that NCCSHS still needs answered.
Next Steps-Consider next steps that need to be taken and transfer the momentum to the next NCCSHS meeting.
