Understanding the impact of an integrated Housing First, mental health, and addiction service model for youth experiencing homelessness and concurrent disorders
Media discourse in Canada on trans youth and parent advocacy
News reporting on transgender youth between 2011 and 2019 in Canada is increasingly affirming of transgender identities, experiences, and needs. These news stories are also increasingly initiated by parent/caregiver advocates of trans youth. We trace the recent history of news coverage of transgender youth to provide for the first time a history of parent advocacy as a social movement in Canada. This movement began in urban centres by cis, white,…
A methodological framework for assessing sustainability aspects of fruit and vegetables
Current European policies and the growing focus on sustainability show a clear need for defining and measuring aspects of sustainability at the food product level. The aim of this study was to develop an indicator-based framework to monitor the sustainability of fruits and vegetables. The framework includes production, packaging, transport, and distribution, and considers economic, ecological, and social aspects. The framework aims to be used by …
Negotiating with technology
Purpose This study aims to describe key elements that are critical to virtual qualitative research especially while working with practitioners as participants. Design/methodology/approach This paper takes a reflexive researcher approach using a case study to explore how researchers adopted a qualitative research approach using digital technology. We use five principles suggested by Boland et al. (2022) as a framework to consider and reflect on ou…
Living in a Sober Living House
Background: Twenty-one residents in a sober living facility in a medium sized Midwestern city were interviewed and were asked to talk about their experiences in selecting and residing in a sober living facility. Methods: Respondents were also asked to detail their thoughts about the efficacy of sober living and their ideas about successful recovery. Interviews were semi-structured in order to provide opportunity for in-depth responses. Results: B…
The potential of school-based Wash programming to support children as agents of change in rural Zambian households
Although we measured only modest levels of student dissemination of WASH UP! messages from the school to the home, students in grade 4 showed significantly more promise as agents of change than those in grade 1. Future work should prioritize developing curricula that reflect the variability in needs, capabilities and support in the home and community among primary school students rather than a single approach for a wide range of ages and contexts

Ruminant Fecal Contamination of Drinking Water Introduced Post-Collection in Rural Kenyan Households
In sub-Saharan Africa, many families travel to collect water and store it in their homes for daily use, presenting an opportunity for the introduction of fecal contamination. One stored and one source water sample were each collected from 45 households in rural Kenya. All 90 samples were analyzed for fecal indicator bacteria ( E. coli and enterococci) and species-specific contamination using molecular microbial source tracking assays. Human (HF18…
Estimating energy expenditure of head-hauling water and grain grinding from heart rate monitor measurements in northern Mozambique
Objective: Even though sub-Saharan African women spend millions of person-hours per day fetching water and pounding grain, to date, few studies have rigorously assessed the energy expenditure costs of such domestic activities. As a result, most analyses that consider head-hauling water or hand pounding of grain with a mortar and pestle (pilão use) employ energy expenditure values derived from limited research. The current paper compares estimated…
Hand- and Object-Mouthing of Rural Bangladeshi Children 3–18 Months Old
Children are exposed to environmental contaminants by placing contaminated hands or objects in their mouths. We quantified hand- and object-mouthing frequencies of Bangladeshi children and determined if they differ from those of U.S. children to evaluate the appropriateness of applying U.S. exposure models in other socio-cultural contexts. We conducted a five-hour structured observation of the mouthing behaviors of 148 rural Bangladeshi children …
Container-based sanitation
Container-based sanitation (CBS) - in which wastes are captured in sealable containers that are then transported to treatment facilities - is an alternative sanitation option in urban areas where on-site sanitation and sewerage are infeasible. This paper presents the results of a pilot household CBS service in Cap Haitien, Haiti. We quantify the excreta generated weekly in a dense urban slum, (1) the proportion safely removed via container-based …
User perceptions of and willingness to pay for household container-based sanitation services
Household-level container-based sanitation (CBS) services may help address the persistent challenge of providing effective, affordable sanitation services for which low-income urban households are willing to pay. Little is known, however, about user perceptions of and demand for household CBS services. This study presents the results of a pilot CBS service programme in Cap Haitien, Haiti. One hundred and eighteen households were randomly selected…
To disseminate is to act
This community-based study sought to understand the caregiving support networks of people living with HIV/AIDS in Winnipeg and Regina, Canada. Qualitative data from 31 participants were gathered from photographs that each individual took of daily life and from in-depth individual interviews. A novel dissemination approach was the creation and performance of a readers’ theatre based on the interview data. This article explains the process of creat…
Community Participation and Water Supply Sustainability
We investigate the extent to which different forms of community participation explain variation in handpump sustainability using data collected from 200 rural communities in Ghana. Data sources include household surveys, engineering assessments of water points, and interviews with water committees and village leaders. The depth of community members’ involvement in project planning is positively associated with handpump sustainability, whereas the…
Robert Spoo. Without Copyrights
The author of this volume, Robert Spoo, is a professor of intellectual property law and an erstwhile professor of modernist literature. This book concerns both of these subjects. It is also a history. In particular, it is a history of the period—the 1920s and 1930s—when European modernist authors met the peculiarities of U.S. copyright law. It identifies a rich public domain as a by-product of these peculiarities, and it concludes with a plea for…

Site Fights”
Fifty years ago, the main challenges to large infrastructure projects were technical or scientific. Today, the greatest hurdles faced by such projects are almost always social and/or political. Whether constructing large dams in the developing world or siting liquefied natural gas terminals in the United States, the onset of these projects often triggers intense popular opposition. But not always, and therein lays the animating aim of this projec…

Transitional Supportive Housing in a Rural Location
Research demonstrates the critical need for transitional supportive housing (TSH) for survivors of domestic violence (Melbin, Sullivan, and Cain, 2003). However, the presence of such programs around the country is inconsistent, and where programs do exist, little consensus has been attained on what aspects of these programs are most beneficial for clients (Melbin et al., 2003). This paper presents initial descriptive data based on a program evalu…

Home Transport and Wastage
In environmental systems analysis of food production systems, the consumer phase (home transport, cooking, storing, and wastage) is an important contributor to the total life-cycle environmental impact. However, households are the least investigated part of the food chain. Information gathering about households involves difficulties; the number of households is large, and food-related activities are embedded in other household activities. In coop…

Scaling up urban upgrading
This paper discusses the challenges to expanding successful, small-scale urban upgrading initiatives in developing countries, using empirical data from the Slum Networking Project (SNP) in Ahmedabad, India. Despite demonstrated success in providing infrastructure and community development services in 27 slum communities, the SNP has had difficulty expanding its activities beyond this small proportion of the city's 2,431 low-income neighbourhoods.…
The Eppalock Soil Conservation Project, Victoria, Australia
The Eppalock Soil Conservation Project (ESCP) is a celebrated ‘whole‐of‐catchment’ management project implemented upstream of Lake Eppalock reservoir in Victoria, Australia. In 1959, a Victorian Parliamentary Public Works Committee (PPWC) found that the enlarged reservoir would be endangered by sedimentation as a result of severe erosion in the catchment. One of the main objectives of the ESCP was therefore to minimise the amount of sediment ente…

Designing a “Neighborhood Deal” for Urban Sewers
The exclusion of neighborhood organizations and households from active participation in the planning process lies at the heart of the current sanitation planning crisis in many cities in developing countries. This paper describes a demand-driven planning approach for urban sewerage, in which neighborhood organizations and households are involved in an active partnership with government planners and other technical staff. We argue that planners mu…

Through a Glass Darkly
For both the serious scholar and others interested in learning more of phenomena associated with ancient Egyptian life the essays in this volume provide careful exegesis of narrative literature covering a time span from the Old Kingdom (c.2250 BCE) through to the Ptolemaic period (c.330 BCE).John Baines (Oxford) notes that current scholarship proceeds with the recognition that by acknowledging magic (heka) as a basic cosmic force, rituals associa…
