Seeds of change: a longitudinal evaluation of the impact of the Planetary Health Report Card impact on institutional action
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background The Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) is an institutional advocacy tool designed to encourage medical schools to integrate planetary health into their curricula, research, and operations. The primary objective of this study was to assess the 3-year impact of the PHRC on promoting institutional changes at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa. The secondary objective was to identify facilitators and barriers to planetary health work. Methods Quantitative data was retrospectively collected from the PHRCs published in 2022, 2023, and 2024. We examined outcomes in five domains: Curriculum, Interdisciplinary Research, Community Outreach and Advocacy, Institutional Support, and Campus Sustainability. Findings Over 3 years, there was a 13·9% increase in overall PHRC score. In the Curriculum domain, there has been a sustained effort to implement a longitudinal planetary health programme. Establishment of the Planetary Health Research Lab has facilitated progress in Interdisciplinary Research. Community Outreach and Advocacy has improved through new community partnerships. However, Institutional Support has declined due to lack of student engagement. The Campus Sustainability domain has remained consistent. Increased student-faculty collaboration through the Planetary Health Director role has facilitated institutional improvements; however, a lack of faculty awareness of planetary health is a barrier. Interpretation By comparing 3 years of PHRC implementation and institutional changes, areas of progress and opportunities for further development were identified. The PHRC is effective in driving change and can inform future efforts to enhance institutional engagement with planetary health. Funding None.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
