Profiles

Canadian Public Health Association

The Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that “advises[s] decision-makers about public health system reform and to guide initiatives to help safeguard the personal and community health of Canadians and people around the world.”[1]

History

CPHA co-organized the Canadian Immunization Conference 2018.[2]

COVID-19

CPHA co-developed CANImmunize through the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute using a $3,812,397 grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Immunization Partnership Fund.[3][4]

Organization

The CPHA publishes the Canadian Journal of Public Health, which “aims to advance public health research and practice in Canada and around the world, contributing to the improvement of the health of populations and the reduction of health inequalities.”[5] Its Editor-in-Chief is Louise Potvin. The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).[6]

The CPHA funds a project called the Canadian Vaccination Evidence Resource and Exchange Centre (CANVax), an “online database of curated resources to support immunization program planning and promotional activities to improve vaccine acceptance and uptake in Canada.”[7]
