sarah and Li Ming via Zoom on Healthy Beginnings expanding from home visiting -> SMS + phone support, CALD adaptation + reach into separate NSW LHDs + China + Mexico. Challenges: getting top down approval from govt... or having a special LHD structure. 😉 #EPOCHConnect

Penny Love : Getting INFANT into practice - and keeping INFANT in practice through changing service delivery, embedding into job positions, figuring out what can be done w resources available. #EPOCHConnect

Spillover and co benefits of obesity interventions: what other outcomes can occur with interventions + what win-win situations can occur? Like reducing SSB and finding improved tooth health in encouraging healthy drinks 😁 #EPOCHConnect Dr Vicki Brown

Using the Lego analogy* again: using the building blocks of interventions from TOPCHILD Collaboration into policy and real world practice. #EPOCHConnect (yes, I know it's technically Lego *bricks* 😉)

Day 2 #EPOCHConnect: when the wacky ideas from a EPOCH annual meeting becomes a NHMRC funded international project ☺️ TOPCHILD Collaboration Anna Lene Seidler (she/her) Brittany J Johnson OG Kylie

And finally the incredible Tan Nguyen (He/Him), Health Economist from Monash University presenting ACE-Oral Health Prevention 👏🏻 Oral health disease is highly prevalent & largely preventable 🦷 Economic evaluations are crucial to inform future interventions & reduce research waste 🤓 CRE_EPOCH #EPOCHConnect

Wonderful hearing from Anagha Killedar from Sydney Health on the economic evaluation of the NSW Health Primary School Mobile Dental Program 🦷📈 A formalised #collaboration to evaluate #cost #benefits and #acceptability CRE_EPOCH #EPOCHConnect

So much energy and enthusiasm in the room with lots of great ideas. We need to build each other up and achieve collective impact. Check out #EPOCHConnect community of practice earlychildhoodobesity.com/about-us/epoch…

Insightful reflections from Alexandra Chung on a policy, research and communications collaboration by Prevention Centre Prevention in the First 2000 Days knowledge synthesis. Highlighting their various research outputs beyond peer-reviewed publications 👏🏻 CRE_EPOCH #EPOCHConnect

Great to present at #EPOCHconnect today and share some of our research progress at #wccnr

Strengths of working with govt and discussing publicly available data: publishing govt reports (tracking report downloads) vs. paying for open access publications + Prof Rebecca Golley on advocating for non traditional outputs, like reports -> make sure it all has a DOI! #EPOCHConnect

What policy makers want: one page knowledge and evidence synthesis - succinct messages to take into policy generation meetings. And yes, we want to turn the ACE Obesity Prevention knowledge synthesis table into one for oral health. 😁 #EPOCHConnect
