Creating an Inclusive Definition for High Users of Inpatient Hospital Systems That Considers Different Levels of Rurality
Multiple definitions have been used to identify individuals who are high system users (HSUs), through economic costs, frequency of use, or length of stay for inpatient care users. However, no definition has been validated to be representative of those residing in rural communities, who face unique service accessibility. This paper identifies an HSU definition for rural Canada that is inclusive of various levels of rurality, longitudinal patient e…
Exploring barriers to accessing health care services by young women in rural settings
Appropriate strategies and policies must be introduced to promote access to healthcare services in rural and remote areas even in most high-`income countries
Exploring the use of geographic methods to understand sexual- and gender-based violence
Geographic methods of inquiry are being increasingly employed to discern and visualize geographical patterns associated with increased risk of sexual- and gender-based violence (SGBV). As such, this scoping review systematically collated academic literature and subsequently synthesised (1) the time trend of studies employing geographic methods to understand SGBV, (2) the context in which geographic methods are being used to understand SGBV (i.e. …
Health Service Implementation and Antifragile Characteristics in Rural Communities
The implementation of health and care services within rural communities requires necessary sensitivity to the unique facets of rural places. Often, rural service implementation is executed with inappropriate frameworks based on assumptions derived from urban centres. To understand the characteristics of rural communities that can facilitate successful program implementation better, ethnographic accounts of rural health and care services were comp…
What a Pandemic Has Taught Us About the Potential for Innovation in Rural Health
The COVID-19 pandemic coincided with a multi-national federally funded research project examining the potential for health and care services in small rural areas to identify and implement innovations in service delivery. The project has a strong focus on electronic health (eHealth) but covers other areas of innovation as well. The project has been designed as an ethnography to prelude a realist evaluation, asking the question under what condition…
Meat reduction, vegetarianism, or chicken avoidance
Purpose Meat consumption has a variety of implications in society. While various types of meat-restricted diets exist to address this, not enough is known about how the average meat consumer views different avenues to lessening their intake. In response, this study aims to assess US omnivores’ impressions of three meat-restricted diets. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was administered to a cross-sectional, census-balanced sample from…
Go the Whole Nine Yards? How Extent of Meat Restriction Impacts Individual Dietary Experience
This study examined three meat-restricted diets (N = 865)-a vegetarian diet, a reduced-meat diet, and a chicken-free diet-with a focus on the differences in lived dietary experiences operationalized using measures such as satisfaction with food-related life and the theory of planned behavior. The data comes from an online survey of a census-balanced sample of 30,000+ U.S. residents. The findings showed that meat reducers are a larger group than s…
Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter
Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a major global health concern. Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio models that incorporate risk information from multiple PM 2.5 sources (outdoor and indoor air pollution from use of solid fuels and secondhand and active smoking), requiring assumptions about equivalent exposure and toxicity. We relax these contentious assumptions by co…
My Village Is Dying? Integrating Methods from the Inside Out
The purpose of this paper is to confront the notion of "decline" at the village level by illustrating a more immersive approach to sociological and demographic research within rural and remote communities. The research uses case studies of three villages in Australia, Canada, and Sweden, all of which have been labeled as "declining villages," typified by population loss, an aging population, high rates of youth outmigration, and loss of businesse…
Alcohol distribution reforms and school proximity to liquor sales outlets in New Brunswick
The emotional health and well-being of Canadians who care for persons with mental health or addictions problems
The purpose of this project was to examine the emotional health and well-being of Canadian caregivers of persons with significant mental health or addictions problems. We assessed the emotional health of caregivers by care-receiver condition type (i.e. mental health or addictions vs. physical or other health problems), levels of caregiver stress and methods particularly for reducing stress among caregivers of persons with mental health or addicti…
A case-control study of medium-term exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide pollution and hospitalization for stroke
When combined with our earlier work in Edmonton, our findings suggest that day-to-day fluctuations in air pollution increase the risk of ischemic stroke during the summer season, while medium term exposures are unrelated to stroke risk. The findings for medium term exposure should be interpreted cautiously due to limited individual-level risk factor data
Self-help housing and informal homesteading in peri-urban America
Socio-spatial Segregation in Metropolitan Lima, Peru
The development of Latin American cities is characterized by formal and informal urban development patterns, weak land-use planning, inequitable economic opportunities, and unequal social divisions. These and other factors have created divergent, and highly fragmented patterns of spatial segregation at all geographic levels. However, little empirical evidence has captured the extent and magnitude of spatial segregation of the poor within specific…
Chain Migration and Residential Segregation of Internal Migrants in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, Brazil
This paper focuses on the geography of internal migration to and settlement within the metropolitan area of São Paulo. Specifically, the research objectives are to: (1) document the major flows of internal migration into the São Paulo metropolitan area; (2) map both short- and long-term migrant patterns of settlement within the São Paulo metropolitan area; and (3) approximate to what extent particular migrants from specific sending areas spatiall…
Evaluation of education quality and neighbourhood well-being
Global ideals and local practicalities in education policies and planning in Lima, Peru
Rudolf Bahro
Years ago, in a provincial town in eastern Germany, there lived a man whose only remarkable or distinguishing feature seemed to be his enduring loyalty and devotion to the state, proved by years of unstinting and reliable service. So regular in fact were his habits, so perfectly did he seem to mesh with the machinery of daily life, that the local townspeople set their clocks according to his comings and goings. Yet, one day, quite late in life, a…
