Guillaume Chevance, PhD Presentation: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context
2021-10-07 11:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
On October 7th at 11am, Dr. Guillaume Chevance will give a Grand Rounds presentation on: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context.
Human activities have changed the biosphere so profoundly over the past two centuries that human induced climate change is now posing serious health-related treats to the current and future generations. Rapid actions from all scientific fields are needed to contribute to both the mitigation and adaption to climate change. This presentation will discuss the bi-directional associations between climate change effects (i.e., rising average temperatures, natural disasters, air pollution, rising sea level) and health-related behaviors, as well as a set of key actions/propositions for the behavioral medicine community.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Guillaume Chevance has a background in sport sciences. He received his PhD in Human Movement Sciences from the University of Montpellier (France) in 2017. The objective of his thesis was to understand the role of specific motivational factors in the adoption and maintenance of an active lifestyle during and after rehabilitation programs. After his PhD, Dr. Chevance started a postdoc at the University of California San Diego (US) in a team interested in the design of eHealth interventions, and notably recognized for their applications of control system engineering methods to the development of apps supporting behavior change. Dr. Chevance then joined ISGlobal (Barcelona, Spain), a leading European institution in Global/Planetary Health, in October 2020 as a tenure-track assistant research professor and head of the eHealth group. He is interested in the dynamics of health behavior change in the context of climatic changes. For that purpose, he uses digital technologies (i.e., accelerometers, smartphones, mobile apps, online datasets) to better understand, and sometimes influence, what is going on in our daily lives.

Updated E-Textbook Webinar
2022-05-11 14:00 - 15:00 UTC
We are delighted to share with you the latest edition of the award-winning ANHE e-textbook: Environmental Health in Nursing, 2nd Edition.
The updated e-textbook represents the latest in environmental health nursing research, education, advocacy, and practice. It is much larger than the first edition because more nurses are engaged in environmental health, and they are advancing their roles as practitioners, educators, advocates, and environmental health scientist. We hope you find this e-text useful to expand your own knowledge, educate future and current nurses, and address environmental health.
The new e-text includes an expanded climate change section, more environmental sciences and nurse research, and a chapter that is in Spanish and English.
Please join us on May 11, 2022 at 2pm ET for a webinar on the new text moderated by editor Ruth McDermott-Levy and featuring authors Emily Hopkins, Marjorie McCullagh, and Kristi Wilson. Register here.
