The Yetwánaý Project
The Yetwánaý Project is a community-led, land-based case study from the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation that explores how reconnection with culturally important plants can support Indigenous health and wellness, particularly in relation to the prevention and management of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Rooted in Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) and Insurgent Research methodologies, the project engaged over 200 participants through seas…
Well grounded
The biological knowledge and associated values and beliefs of Indigenous and other long-resident Peoples are often overlooked and underrepresented in governance, planning and decision-making at local, regional, national and international levels. Ethnobiology-the study of the dynamic relationships among peoples, biota and environments-is a field that places Indigenous Peoples' ecological knowledge and ways of knowing at the forefront of research i…
Ethnobiology Phase VI
Ethnobiology, like many fields, was shaped by early Western imperial efforts to colonize people and lands around the world and extract natural resources. Those legacies and practices persist today and continue to influence the institutions ethnobiologists are a part of, how they carry out research, and their personal beliefs and actions. Various authors have previously outlined five overlapping “phases” of ethnobiology. Here, we argue that ethnob…
Weight of Evidence
Mixed methods research is well-suited to grapple with questions of what counts as valid knowledge across different contexts and perspectives. This article introduces Weight of Evidence as a transformative procedure for stakeholders to interpret, expand on and prioritize evidence from evidence syntheses, with a focus on engaging populations historically excluded from planning and decision making. This article presents the procedure's five steps us…
Walking on Our Lands Again
We are in a time of Indigenous cultural-political resurgence in Canada (Coulthard, 2014; Manuel, 2017; Simpson, 2017; Talaga, 2018). Increasingly, Indigenous Peoples are finding renewed strength, pride, and grounding through cultural practice and the reestablishment of connection to the land. Included in this resurgence are the relationships between people and plants. When we practise our ancestral relationships with our plant relatives, we heal …

Neighbourhood walkability and home neighbourhood-based physical activity
Higher neighbourhood walkability is associated with higher home neighbourhood-based PA but not with higher overall PA. Other factors will need to be leveraged to facilitate meaningful increases in overall PA among adults with type 2 diabetes
A Bayesian Approach to Latent Class Modeling for Estimating the Prevalence of Schizophrenia Using Administrative Databases
Estimating the incidence and the prevalence of psychotic disorders in the province of Quebec has been the object of some interest in recent years as a contribution to the epidemiological study of the causes of psychotic disorders being carried out primarily in UK and Scandinavia. A number of studies have used administrative data from the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) that includes nearly all Quebec citizens to obtain geographical …
Correlates of sitting time in adults with type 2 diabetes
There was low correlation between sitting time and step counts. Therefore, high sitting time and low step counts are behaviours that may need to be independently targeted. Interventions to reduce sitting time in adults with type 2 diabetes may need to target non-immigrants and those with a university degree
Increasing the effectiveness of the Diabetes Prevention Program through if-then plans

Sex ratios in the arctic—do man‐made chemicals matter
OBJECTIVES: The objective was to analyze the variation of secondary sex ratios across the Arctic and to estimate the time trend. The rationale for this was claims in news media that, in the Arctic, sex ratios have become reduced due to exposure to anthropogenic contaminants in the environment. METHODS: Data was collected from 27 circumpolar jurisdictions from public websites of the eight Arctic countries. Sex ratios at birth were calculated for e…

Détresse psychologique chez les personnes atteintes du VIH à Montréal
Le présent article décrit les préoccupations psychologiques reliées au VIH dans un échantillon montréalais de 128 personnes atteintes du virus, qui ont participé à une enquête nationale plus large sur les besoins et les services en santé mentale en rapport avec cette infection au Canada. Nous avons examiné les problèmes psychologiques causés par le VIH à Montréal, en comparaison d'autres villes du Canada, et dans divers sous-groupes définis selon…
Changes in body mass index in Canadians over a five-year period
Mean baseline BMI tended to be higher than recommended. Moreover, on average, men under age 45 and women under age 55 were gaining approximately 0.45 kilograms (one pound) per year, which leveled off with increased age and reversed in the oldest age groups. These findings underscore the need for public health efforts aimed at combating obesity

Socioeconomic Status, Access to Health Care, and Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Canada's Universal Health Care System
BACKGROUND: There is a debate as to whether universal drug coverage confers similar access to care at all socioeconomic status (SES) levels. Experiences in Canada may bring light to questions raised regarding access. OBJECTIVE: To assess associations between SES and access to cardiac care and outcomes in Canada's universal health care system. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: All patients admitted to acute care hospitals in Quebec (QC), Ontario (ON)…
A cross-sectional study of the prevalence of intensity of infection with Schistosoma japonicumin 50 irrigated and rain-fed villages in Samar Province, the Philippines
We found very important village-to-village variation in prevalence of infection intensity. This variation is probably due to village-level variables other than that explained by a crude classification of villages into the irrigated and non-irrigated categories. We are planning to capture this spatial heterogeneity by updating our initial transmission dynamics model with the data reported here combined with 1-year post-treatment follow-up of study…

Democratic Revisionism Revisited
This paper will examine recent developments in liberal-democratic theory that represent different reactions to theoretical challenges to postwar democratic revisionism, as well as different reactions to the of contemporary liberal democracy. One sort of response, exemplified by Samuel Huntington and Giovanni Sartori, has been a reassertion of the elitist theory of democracy. A rather different response is represented by Charles Lindblom and Rober…

Neoconservatism in Contemporary Political Science
This essay examines one manifestation of neoconservatism in contemporary political science--the neoconservative analysis of the crisis of the American party system. A number of political scientists has argued that recent reforms have led to domination of the party system by ideological activists from the "New Class" and have undermined the accommodationist, coalition-building functions of political parties. These neoconservatives are defenders of…
Corporate Political Power & Liberal Democratic Theory
Some pluralists critical of corporate power, are inclined to reconsider aspects of democratic theory. "Neoconservatives," on the other hand, contend that, in terms of political power, American business has been losing ground during the last several decades. Professor Joseph urges a "structural approach" to the study of corporate political power implicit in the work of Charles Lindblom and in neo-Marxist analyses of the liberal-democratic state

Normative Assumptions in Educational Policy Research
Christopher Jencks's Inequality: A Reassess ment of the Effect of Family and Schooling in America is an example of social policy research which is also policy advocacy or normative political argument. His empirical analysis of the short-term and long-term effects of education is aimed at discrediting the "equality of opportunity" model for reducing social and economic inequality. He argues that we must move from concern with "equality of opportun…
Some Ways of Thinking about Equality of Opportunity
Some Ways of Thinking About Equality of Opportunity
M ANY RECENT discussions of the issue of social have suggested that there are two polar concepts of of and equality or results and that we must choose between these mutually exclusive normative principles.1 While this outlook has been most characteristic of supporters of equality of (or, more accurately, a certain conception of of opportunity), it can be found among advocates of equality of results as well.2 I shall argue in this paper that such …
