This open access book presents an integrative vision to achieve better brain health. Across the globe is a growing awareness of the impact of neurological conditions and mental health on wellbeing. Also as populations age, the number of people impacted by brain health conditions also grows, shining a light on the need for brain health "solutions" that are sustainable. Although the knowledge of what is working for a variety of brain health conditions continues to expand, we need to realize that not all solutions will come from medical research. What is needed to address brain health in a more sustainable way is a better understanding of the care that community provides and how a vision of better brain health will be found by deepening our understanding of the role of community and elevating the value of their contributions. Community organizations provide frontline care and have a tangible understanding of the needs that accompany the populations above. This means they are well equipped to provide local and accessible care. Community is a place in which brain health solutions can be delivered in a sustainable, effective, efficient, equitable and person-centered way. As such, the knowledge community organizations can contribute to the bigger picture of health care is important. This project responds to the need to better understand community care by highlighting how the role of evaluative thinking in the community sector can help us generate evidence to navigate towards better brain health futures. By first recognizing and then supporting community-led care, we can expand how we view and receive care.

Along these lines, the book moves from a view of healthcare as being only delivered in hospitals and clinics to recognizing the continuum of care and integration of healthcare options. It provides a space for stories of health care solutions that indeed have connected health to the social and the community sectors. By exploring community interventions that have been integrated with biomedical/neuroscientific solutions, we will learn how integrated sustainable solutions can be created. The role of evaluation in helping facilitate the creation of such solutions also will be explored.

This project is a partnership between the Ontario Brain Institute and the Evaluation Centre for Complex Health Interventions and reflects our collective learnings from our work in developmental evaluation and brain health.

這本開放存取的書籍提出了一個整合性的願景,以實現更好的腦部健康。全球對神經疾病和心理健康對福祉影響的認識日益增強。隨著人口老化,受到腦部健康問題影響的人數也在增加,這突顯了對可持續腦部健康「解決方案」的需求。儘管對於各種腦部健康問題的有效解決方案的知識不斷擴展,我們需要認識到,並非所有的解決方案都來自醫學研究。為了以更可持續的方式解決腦部健康問題,我們需要更好地理解社區所提供的護理,以及如何通過深化對社區角色的理解來找到更好的腦部健康願景,並提升他們貢獻的價值。社區組織提供前線護理,並對上述人群所伴隨的需求有具體的理解。這意味著他們能夠提供本地且可及的護理。社區是一個可以以可持續、有效、高效、公平和以人為本的方式提供腦部健康解決方案的地方。因此,社區組織能夠為更大健康照護圖景貢獻的知識是重要的。本項目回應了更好理解社區護理的需求,強調了評估思維在社區領域的角色如何幫助我們生成證據,以引導我們邁向更好的腦部健康未來。通過首先認識並支持社區主導的護理,我們可以擴展我們對護理的看法和接受方式。

沿著這條思路,這本書從將醫療保健僅視為在醫院和診所提供的觀點,轉向認識護理的連續性和醫療保健選項的整合。它提供了一個空間,講述那些確實將健康與社會和社區部門聯繫起來的醫療解決方案的故事。通過探索與生物醫學/神經科學解決方案整合的社區干預措施,我們將學習如何創造整合的可持續解決方案。評估在促進此類解決方案創造中的角色也將被探討。

本項目是安大略腦研究所與複雜健康干預評估中心之間的合作,反映了我們在發展性評估和腦部健康工作中的集體學習。
