A sample of 5103 Canadians from the iCARE study were recruited through an online polling firm between October 29, 2020, and March 23, 2021. Logistic regressions revealed that participants with loss/reduction of employment were 3.6 times more likely to report increased relational conflicts compared to th…

  • Active Child, Accomplished Youth

    Open AccessLaurie-Anne Kosak, Kianoush Harandian et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Background/Objectives : Physical activity is an important protective factor throughout life. However, little research has observed the associations between the practice of physical activity and academic success longitudinally, and none have done so with a pan-Canadian sample. This article aims to examine the prospective associations between active leisure in middle childhood and academic achievement in emerging adulthood, for both boys and girls,…

  • Early Socio-Emotional Difficulty as a Childhood Barrier to the Expected Benefits of Active Play

    Open AccessLaurie-Anne Kosak, Kianoush Harandian et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Active play allows children to develop social and cognitive skills, which could lead to higher school engagement. Little is known about the role of child socioemotional difficulty in these associations. This study aims to examine the interaction between active play and socioemotional difficulty in childhood and their prospective association with academic engagement in adolescence. The participants were 4537 children (51.1% boys) who were longitud…

  • The impact of Covid-19 on the lives of Canadians with and without non-communicable chronic diseases

    Open AccessFrédérique Deslauriers, Vincent Gosselin-Boucher et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Results suggest that people with NCDs in general and women in general have been disproportionately more impacted by the pandemic, and that women with NCDs have suffered greater psychological distress (i.e., feeling anxious, depressed) compared to men, and men with NCDs reported having increased their alcohol consumption more since the start of COVID-19 compared to women. Findings point to potential intervention targets among people with NCDs (e.g…

  • Do Canadians have favourable attitudes towards reintroducing mask mandates

    Open AccessFrédérique Deslauriers, Camille Leger et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2023Referencias: 6

    Like many countries, Canada faced a triple threat of respiratory illness (COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus) in the fall of 2022, after all COVID-19 measures had been lifted, placing significant pressure on the healthcare system (Tanne, 2022;Wright, 2022).Public health agencies were therefore urging the population to maintain preventive behaviours like masking indoors to help slow the spread of these viruses (Wright, 2022).Mask…

    Open AccessJovana Stojanovic, Vincent Gosselin Boucher et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: COVID-19 has caused a global public health emergency. Government mitigation strategies included a series of behavior-based prevention policies that had a likely impact on the spread of other contagious respiratory illnesses, such as seasonal influenza. Our aim was to explore how 2019–2020 influenza tracked onto COVID-19 pandemic and its mitigation methods. Materials and Methods: We linked the WHO FluNet database and COVID-19 confirmed…

  • The Gothic

    Simon L Bacon, Simon BaconBOOKGothic2018

    Diaryliodonium salts are useful arylating reagents that have been exploited widely. In this Communication, we demonstrate that heating diphenyliodonium triflate in the solvent DMSO leads to an unexpected arylation reaction. It is postulated that arylation of DMSO at oxygen, followed by a thia-Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement, leads to the formation of 2-thiomethylphenols. More substituted diaryliodonium salts and cyclic diaryliodonium salts are show…

  • Positive and Negative Affect Is Related to Experiencing Chest Pain During Exercise-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    Philippe Stébenne, Simon L Bacon et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2017

    OBJECTIVE: Silent myocardial ischemia is thought to be associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes due to a lack of perception of pain cues that initiate treatment seeking. Negative affect (NA) has been associated with increased pain reporting and positive affect (PA) with decreased pain reporting, but these psychological factors have not been examined within the context of myocardial ischemia. This study evaluated the associations between PA, …

  • Impact of Panic Attacks on Bronchoconstriction and Subjective Distress in Asthma Patients With and Without Panic Disorder

    Maxine Boudreau, Simon L Bacon et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2017

    OBJECTIVE: Panic disorder (PD) is common among asthma patients and is associated with worse asthma outcomes. This may occur because of psychophysiological factors or cognitive/affective factors. This study evaluated the impact of panic attacks (PAs) on bronchoconstriction and subjective distress in people who have asthma with and without PD. METHODS: A total of 25 asthma patients (15 with PD who had a PA [PD/PA], 10 without PD who did not have a …

  • Neighbourhood walkability and home neighbourhood-based physical activity

    Open AccessSamantha Hajna, Yan Kestens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    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

  • Prospective Impact of Panic Disorder and Panic-Anxiety on Asthma Control, Health Service Use, and Quality of Life in Adult Patients With Asthma Over a 4-Year Follow-Up

    Helene Favreau, Simon L Bacon et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2014

    Background Panic disorder (PD) is a common anxiety disorder among asthmatic patients with overlapping symptoms (e.g., hyperventilation). However, the longitudinal impact of PD on asthma control remains poorly understood. This study assessed the impact of PD and panic-anxiety on asthma control over a 4.3-year follow-up in 643 adult asthmatic patients. Methods Consecutive patients presenting to a tertiary asthma clinic underwent a sociodemographic,…

  • The Effect of Trait Rumination on Adaptation to Repeated Stress

    Jillian A Johnson, Kim L Lavoie et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2012

    OBJECTIVE: Exaggerated and prolonged cardiovascular responses to mental stress have been implicated in the etiology of hypertension. Rumination may play a role in the maintenance or reactivation of cardiovascular responses to mental stress and prevent cardiovascular adaptation or create sensitization on reexposure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of trait rumination on patterns of cardiovascular response adaptation after r…
