Proportionate universalism is a principle suggesting that health interventions and policies need to be universal, not targeted, but with intensity and scale proportionate to the level of social need and/or disadvantage. Within this model, we propose interrelated and multi-level evidence-based policies and strategies to support PA [physical activity] promotion in primary healthcare while addressing health inequities. 2, record 1, English, - proportionate%20universalism

L'universalisme proportionné constitue une approche mixte, se situant à l'interface entre l'approche universelle et l'approche ciblée. [...] Il préconise le développement d'interventions universelles, mais selon une échelle et une intensité proportionnelles au degré de défavorisation des individus. Cela permettrait ainsi d'améliorer l'état de santé de l'ensemble de la population, tout en favorisant la réduction des écarts de santé entre les différents groupes sociaux. 2, record 1, French, - universalisme%20proportionn%C3%A9

Smoking is a cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which can result in the need for lung transplantation. The Office of Tobacco Reduction Programs, Health Promotion and Programs Branch, is the focal point in Health Canada for activity including public education initiatives aimed at reducing tobacco use and smoking prevalence. In support of this work, the Minister of Health announced in May 1999 the creation of an Expert Committee on Nicotine and Tobacco Science, which will provide guidance and advice to Health Canada in developing strategies to reduce tobacco consumption and its accompanying adverse health effects. 1, record 3, English, - Expert%20Committee%20on%20Nicotine%20and%20Tobacco%20Science

Le tabagisme est l'une des causes de maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique, affection qui peut finir par nécessiter une transplantation du poumon. Le Bureau des programmes de lutte contre le tabagisme de la Direction générale de la promotion et des programmes de la santé est, à Santé Canada, la plaque tournante des activités en la matière, notamment les projets d'éducation de la population visant à réduire la consommation de tabac et la prévalence du tabagisme. à l'appui de ces activités, le ministre de la Santé a annoncé, en mai 1999, la création du Comité consultatif sur le tabac et les produits du tabac qui conseillera Santé Canada sur l'élaboration de stratégies visant à réduire la consommation de tabac et ses effets indésirables sur la Santé. 1, record 3, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20consultatif%20sur%20le%20tabac%20et%20les%20produits%20du%20tabac
