Expectations Shaped Elsewhere
BACKGROUND: We know that many refugees arrive in host countries, including Aotearoa New Zealand, with complex health needs and are at risk of poorer outcomes. Little attention has been paid to the expectations and understandings of care that they bring with them and how these shape their health experiences. Many refugees come from hospital-based healthcare systems with direct, timely access to specialists, tests and procedures but resettle into p…
Health services use for injury amongst persons experiencing homelessness in Ontario, Canada
Homelessness is an increasingly prevalent public health concern and an important determinant of mental and physical health. The relationships between housing status and injury incidence and outcome are poorly understood. In this study we sought to both establish the epidemiology of injury amongst persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) and to determine the association between the experience of homelessness and utilization of acute care health ser…
You adapt, and you try not to resent it’
Adaptations to TBDs are not always easy, consistent, or positive. This study is the first to describe the barriers to adopting preventive behaviours and impacts of living with ticks across multiple Canadian provinces. The themes and impacts identified in this study should provide insight for a variety of initiatives to be developed, implemented, and evaluated to improve quality of life and health outcomes related to TBDs in Canada
Disparities in all-cause mortality among people experiencing homelessness in Toronto, Canada during the Covid-19 pandemic
People experiencing homelessness have historically had high mortality rates compared to housed individuals in Canada, a trend believed to have become exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this matched cohort study conducted in Toronto, Canada, we investigated all-cause mortality over a one-year period by following a random sample of people experiencing homelessness ( n = 640) alongside matched housed ( n = 6,400) and low-income housed ( n …
Uptake of Covid-19 vaccination among community-dwelling individuals receiving healthcare for substance use disorder and major mental illness
Introduction Patients with major mental illness (MMI) and substance use disorders (SUD) face barriers in accessing healthcare. In this population-based retrospective cohort study, we investigated the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination in Ontario, Canada among community-dwelling individuals receiving healthcare for major mental illness (MMI) and/or substance use disorders (SUD), comparing them to matched general population controls. Methods Using link…
La place des parents dans le soin au regard de la théorie de l’attachement
L’importance de l’implication des parents dans les services de soin est un fait bien établi. L’accueil est un moment central selon la théorie de l’attachement. L’enjeu est de créer une alliance thérapeutique nécessaire à une co-construction du projet de soin de l’enfant, les rendant acteurs dans le processus de soin. Nous verrons comment intégrer le parent à nos séances peut soutenir les capacités d’exploration de l’enfant et quelle place on peut…

Association between Pet Ownership and Mental Health and Well-Being of Canadians Assessed in a Cross-Sectional Study during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the association between pet ownership and quality of life (QoL), loneliness, anxiety, stress, overall health, and mental health of Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic using a One Health perspective. An online bilingual survey was completed by 1500 Canadians in April-May 2021. Socio-demographics, health, QoL, stress and anxiety, loneliness, social support, pet ownership, and attitude tow…
‘There is no sick leave at the university’
This paper examines the role of sick leave in constructing the identity of a good worker. The setting is a public funded New Zealand university. Within a qualitative research design, interviews were conducted with a range of employees and managers about their use and management of sick leave. Sick leave entitlements, use, and management encompass moral discourses that impact upon worker identity. Normalising discourses generated by compliance to …
Hidden in Plain Sight
In this article, we argue that sick leave and its management within the university involves exchanges of moral capital. The circulation of moral capital supports a moral economy, in turn underpinning the political economy of the corporate university. The forms of moral capital are diverse, sometimes easily recognized as such, more often hidden in plain sight. Like other forms of capital, moral capital can be accrued, depleted, and exchanged as it…
The Participatory Zeitgeist
Healthcare systems redesign and service improvement approaches are adopting participatory tools, techniques and mindsets. Participatory methods increasingly used in healthcare improvement coalesce around the concept of coproduction, and related practices of cocreation, codesign and coinnovation. These participatory methods have become the new Zeitgeist-the spirit of our times in quality improvement. The rationale for this new spirit of participat…
Equity of access to primary healthcare for vulnerable populations
A wide range of innovations improving access to PHC were identified. The access framework was useful in uncovering the disparity between supply- and demand-side dimensions and pinpointing areas which could benefit from further attention to close the equity gap for vulnerable populations in accessing PHC services that correspond to their needs
Création de connaissances organisationnelles à la suite d’une intervention de développement professionnel en Centre de santé et de services sociaux (CSSS)
This article deals with the Health Promotion Laboratory, a professional development program designed for local public health teams. Building on Nonaka’s model, the study examines organisational knowledge creation in three sites and analyzes the factors involved. The results show significant externalization and noticeable combination in the three sites. The availability of diffusion tools, the transmission of knowledge inherent to the laboratory a…

Balancing Opposing Forces-A Nested Process Evaluation Study Protocol for a Stepped Wedge Designed Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of an Experience Based Codesign Intervention
Background: Process evaluations are essential to understand the contextual, relational, and organizational and system factors of complex interventions. The guidance for developing process evaluations for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has until recently however, been fairly limited. Method/Design: A nested process evaluation (NPE) was designed and embedded across all stages of a stepped wedge cluster RCT called the CORE study. The aim of the…
Professional development programs in health promotion
Developing innovative interventions that are in sync with a health promotion paradigm often represents a challenge for professionals working in local public health organizations. Thus, it is critical to have both professional development programs that favor new practices and tools to examine these practices. In this case study, we analyze the health promotion approach used in a pilot intervention addressing children's vulnerability that was devel…
Environmental Factors Associated With Social Participation of Older Adults Living in Metropolitan, Urban, and Rural Areas
Objectives. We compared the social participation of older adults living in metropolitan, urban, and rural areas, and identified associated environmental factors. Methods. From 2004 to 2006, we conducted a cross-sectional study using an age-, gender-, and area-stratified random sample of 1198 adults (aged 67–82 years). We collected data via interviewer-administered questionnaires and derived from Canadian censuses. Results. Social participation di…
Learning reflexively from a health promotion professional development program in Canada
In recent decades, reflexivity has received much attention in the professional education and training literature, especially in the public health and health promotion fields. Despite general agreement on the importance of reflexivity, there appears to be no consensus on how to assess reflexivity or to conceptualize the different forms developed among professionals and participants of training programs. This paper presents an analysis of the refle…
Complexity
Health promotion underpins a distancing from narrow, simplifying health approaches associated with the biomedical model. However, it has not yet succeeded in formally establishing its theoretical, epistemological and methodological foundations on a single paradigm. The complexity paradigm, which it has yet to broach head-on, might provide it with a disciplinary matrix in line with its implicit stances and basic values. This article seeks to estab…
Associations between residential food environment and dietary patterns in urban-dwelling older adults
Objective To examine associations between the availability of residential-area food sources and dietary patterns among seniors. Design Cross-sectional analyses. Individual-level data from the NuAge study on nutrition and healthy ageing were merged with geographic information system data on food store availability and area-level social composition. Two dietary patterns reflecting lower- and higher-quality diets (respectively designated ‘western’ a…

Living in a Well-Serviced Urban Area Is Associated With Maintenance of Frequent Walking Among Seniors in the VoisiNuAge Study
Findings are consistent with the notion that environments may act as buoys for the maintenance of important health behaviors. Future experimental and quasi-experimental research is required to explore whether or not the environment can play a causal role in influencing patterns of walking over time
Ecological Models Revisited
Since the 1980s, ecological models of health promotion have generated a great deal of enthusiasm among researchers and interventionists. These models emerged from conceptual developments in other fields, and only selected elements of the ecological approach have been integrated into them. In this article, we describe the tenets of the ecological approach and highlight those aspects that have been integrated into ecological models used in health p…

The use of technology at home
Over the past 15 years, the use of specialised medical equipment by patients at home has increased in most industrialised countries. Adopting a conceptual framework that brings together two research perspectives, i.e. the sociology of technology and the sociology of illness, this paper empirically examines why and how patients use health technology at home and in the broader social world. Our study compares and contrasts the use of four intervent…

Associations among Park Use, Age, Social Participation, and Neighborhood Age Composition in Montreal
Parks provide benefits for the physical, psychological, and social well-being of residents in neighborhood environments. Multilevel logistic regression was used to examine associations between neighborhood- and individual-level characteristics and the lack of park use in Montreal. Data on park use were collected from 787 adults residing in 299 different neighborhoods. Results found that older adults who lived in areas with a younger age compositi…
Associations among socioeconomic status, perceived neighborhood control, perceived individual control, and self‐reported health
Recent research has suggested that perceived control and a person's perceptions of their neighborhood environment may mediate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and health. This cross‐sectional study assessed whether perceptions of informal social control mediated the association between SES and self‐reported health, and if these two constructs represented distinct mechanisms linking SES with self‐reported health. The sample consi…

Ecological Foundations of Health Promotion
In this article, human ecology is defined; its historical and intellectual roots are traced through various disciplines to its applications in public health and health promotion today; its strengths and limitations are described; some potential contributions of systems theory are suggested; and some emerging ecological models of health promotion are anticipated.
Assessment of the Integration of the Ecological Approach in Health Promotion Programs
PURPOSE: This article proposes a model of the ecological approach in health promotion programs. Based on system theory, the model identifies intervention settings and targets as two independent dimensions for assessing the integration of this approach in programs. Additional objectives are to present and pretest an analytical procedure that allows the assessment of integration of the ecological approach in programs. DESIGN: This was a descriptive…
La prévention du Sida chez les jeunes non intégrés au réseau scolaire
This paper presents both the procedure and the results of an evaluation of Tête à Queue, a condom promotion magazine for youth outside the school system. Three studies were conducted: a survey among practitioners, an experimental study to test the effects of the magazine on youths’ attitudes and intentions regarding condom use, and a critical analysis of the controversy that surrounded the diffusion of the magazine. Results show that aspects rela…

Analyser le degré d’intégration de l’approche écologique dans les programmes de promotion de la santé
For many years, the WHO has promoted the implementation of ecological strategies to improve public health, focusing, in particular, on various social and environmental health determinants and settings. Although that approach has raised interest among public health professionals, the conceptual tools to direct its development and evaluation are still lacking. To fill the gap, this article presents a tool for the assessment of the integration of th…

The diversity of prevention and health promotion services offered by Quebec Community Health Centres
Research has shown that preventive and health promotion (PHP) services offered by community health centres are often vulnerable in times of health reform or budgetary cutbacks. The present study was conducted in Québec, Canada, approximately 10 years after the start of a major transformation of health care services. The objectives were: (1) to examine the diversity of infant/toddler prevention and health promotion services offered by centres loca…

Use of local area facilities for involvement in physical activity in Canada
Despite growing literature showing associations of availability and accessibility of facilities to greater levels of physical activity, considerably less is known about the actual extent of use of these facilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the individual (sex, age, education and extent of involvement in vigorous physical activity) and local area characteristics (socioeconomic status, locations and number of physical activity organ…
The role of health education in the policy change process
The ‘new public health’ perspective urges a return to an agenda centred on the modification of the determinants of health, with a special emphasis on public policies. This enthusiasm for strategies focusing on the modification of policies may lead, however, to declining interest in health education interventions. The aim of the present analysis is to reflect on the role of health education in the process leading to the adoption of ‘Healthy Public…

Staying connected
Alongside community involvement, promoting social participation has been identified as a key strategy of fostering empowerment, one of the central tenets of the health promotion movement. Engagement in social and productive activities appears to be particularly beneficial to older adults, as it has been found to be associated with positive outcomes on a variety of health indicators. It is therefore critical to identify factors that might lead to …
