Updating the core competencies for public health in Canada: Feminist community-based study.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe 2008 core competencies for the public health in Canada were used extensively however were outdated. Our objective was to determine and conduct a consultation and engagement process to update the core competencies. This study describes the approach and methods used.
methodsFeminist community-based research informed the multiple methods used to gather explicit and tacit expertise on essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes for the updated competencies. Recommendations from published literature were adapted for project governance, literature reviews, engagement, and integration of feedback on competency statements based on principles of reflection, reflexivity, equity, and transparency.
resultsMore than 2300 members of the public health community contributed to updating the core competencies via in-person and virtual engagement sessions. Participants were from every province and territory and a range of public health disciplines, roles, and system levels, with a focus on integrating Indigenous and Black Health Leaders' perspectives. Over 2200 comments and edits received informed successive competency drafts.
conclusionThe updated core competencies incorporate timely issues, such as climate change and planetary health, for evidence-informed public health practice and policy. They emphasize the importance of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis approaches and ways of knowing, of integrating Black Health and anti-Black racism, as well as grounding values of health equity, social justice, and accountability in public health practice and policy. This manuscript adds to the international body of knowledge on methods for modernizing core competencies for public health workforce development and training.
