Video-based ecological momentary assessment of health and well-being outcomes in nature
Contact with nature is increasingly recognized for its human health and well-being benefits. However, the mechanisms associated with these outcomes, including the influence of different natural and built features, remain under-researched. Additionally, there has been little empirical examination of the methods used to assess outcomes, in terms of quantity and quality of data. This study addresses these gaps by exploring the effectiveness of video…
Absolute Space or Relational Space, Which Governs Spatiotemporally Extended Effects in Disease Dispersion
Prevailing disease models typically focus on in‐situ effects, that is, the health risks of a location are affected by the transmission‐driving factors of the same location. The ex‐situ effects, in contrast, extend health risks from neighboring locations and earlier days to focal locations and current dates. These effects could be critical but have not received much attention. This study investigates the extended effects in absolute space and rela…
The shifting riskscape
The substantial changes in accessibility to alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco warrant further investigation, particularly focusing on how these shifting riskscapes influence consumption patterns, disparities in harm, and long-term health outcomes
The effect of non-medical cannabis retailer proximity on use of mental health services for psychotic disorders in Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND: Cannabis is associated with the onset and persistence of psychotic disorders. Evidence suggests that accessibility of substances is associated with an increased risk of use-related harms. We sought to examine the effect of residing in proximity to non-medical cannabis retailers on the prevalence of health service use for psychosis. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using linked health administrative data, and used geospati…
Echoes of Home
Family doctors serve as the initial contact for individuals seeking regular medical service like routine physical exam, diagnosis, and treatment of illness. Nonetheless, immigrant population who do not speak the official language usually prefers receiving healthcare in their own mother tongues. Past studies have focused on exploring accessibility to family doctors speaking Mandarin Chinese, which is not mutually intelligible with another major Ch…
Prioritizing determinants of cognitive function in healthy middle-aged and older adults
Introduction: The preservation of healthy cognitive function is a crucial step toward reducing the growing burden of cognitive decline and impairment. Our study aims to identify the characteristics of an individual that play the greatest roles in determining healthy cognitive function in mid to late life. Methods: Data on the characteristics of an individual that influence their health, also known as determinants of health, were extracted from th…
How regularly do people visit service places
Parents' attitudes regarding their children's play during Covid-19
Findings from this work highlight SES and urbanicity disparities that continue to exist during COVID-19
Who Gets the Flu? Individualized Validation of Influenza-like Illness in Urban Spaces
Urban dwellers are exposed to communicable diseases, such as influenza, in various urban spaces. Current disease models are able to predict health outcomes at the individual scale but are mostly validated at coarse scales due to the lack of fine-scaled ground truth data. Further, a large number of transmission-driving factors have been considered in these models. Because of the lack of individual-scaled validations, the effectiveness of factors a…
A Location-Centric Network Approach to Analyzing Epidemic Dynamics
Recent health threats, such as the SARS, H1N1, and Ebola pandemics, have stimulated great interest in network models to study the transmission of communicable diseases through human interaction and mobility. Most current network models have focused on an individual-centric perspective where individuals are represented as nodes, and the interactions among them as edges. Few of these models are concerned with the discovery of the spatial patterns a…
