High Motivation but Low Access to PrEP
Methamphetamine (meth) use is endemic among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations and a well-established correlate of HIV acquisition. Less understood are the behavioral, psychosocial, and structural vulnerabilities associated with meth use that may complicate HIV prevention. We examined differences in HIV-related vulnerabilities, perceptions of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) need, and access to PrEP care among SGM people who use meth com…

Immigration, Integration and Welcoming Communities
Despite the fact that municipalities are primary recipients of immigrants to Canada, they almost have no formal role in developing immigration and integration policies and programs. As such, they are primarily left or kept out of the current model of immigration and integration governance. Since immigration and integration are not stand-alone issues, they require partnership and collaboration involving multiple levels of government and community …

The study results suggested that ethno-specific organizations can be an effective alternative in providing accessible and equitable soc…
Rural development led by autonomous village land cooperatives
As a main rural initiative, village land shareholding cooperatives spearhead non-agricultural development in the interest of rural communities, and thus participate in urbanisation. Nanhai, Guangdong, is a case in illustration. The institution of land shareholding cooperatives gives rise to unique compartmentalised industrialisation and fragmented urbanisation in the context of high population density and small-area autonomous villages. Village c…

Mental health status and work environment among workers in small- and medium-sized enterprises in Guangdong, China-a cross-sectional survey
The results indicate that the JDCS model is a useful framework in predicting psychological well-being among Chinese workers in SMEs. Future mental health promotion should focus on young migrant male workers as they appear to be most vulnerable in their psychological well-being. Both physical and psychosocial aspects of the work environment should be taken into account in policy making to prevent mental disorder and promote psychological well-bein…
