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…
Examining disparities in the accessibility of unhealthy food vendors in school neighbourhoods across Ontario
Does outdoor advertising correlate with retail food purchases made by adolescents? A cross-sectional study in Canada
Food marketing plays a substantial role in shaping adolescent diets, having wide-ranging ramifications for health behaviours and outcomes throughout the life course. Yet, there remains a dearth of research about how outdoor advertising as a specific channel of food marketing affects purchasing behaviours. We examine self-reported purchases made at retail food outlets by adolescents as it relates to the availability of outdoor food and beverage ad…
“I like seeing people, different cultures, and hearing different music”
Due to urbanization more young people will live in high-rises and dense urban areas. • We explored teen perspectives (n = 22) of healthy high-rise and dense area designs. • Social, cultural sites; unique places; and multipurpose designs supported health. • Crowded places, weak social connectivity, and poor transport designs abated health. • Urban designers might consider social/cultural activity sites, connectivity designs. As countries continue …
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
Restaurant survival during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic placed considerable stress on restaurants from restrictions placed on their operations, shifting consumer confidence, rapid expansion of remote work arrangements and aggressive uptake of third-party delivery services. Industry reports suggest that restaurants are experiencing a much higher rate of failure in comparison to other sectors of the economy. Restaurant survival was assessed in the Middlesex–London region of Ontario…
Urbanization, housing, and inclusive design for all? A community-based participatory research investigation of the health implications of high-rise environments for adolescents
Land-Use Planning Approaches to Near-Campus Neighborhoods and Student Housing Development Patterns in Ontario, Canada
Student housing represents a contentious local policy issue in university cities in North America and beyond, related to both the conversion of existing housing to student rentals and the development of private purpose-built student accommodations. Yet little research has considered the variety of approaches municipalities across an urban system have adopted to address student housing issues through land-use planning and their subsequent influenc…
The workplace as a therapeutic landscape
This study investigated the pandemic-related modifications to food hospitality businesses in Ontario, Canada and their effects on the health and wellbeing of workers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 food hospitality employees in Ontario between June 2020 and May 2021 as part of the Food Retail Environment Study for Health and Economic Resiliency (FRESHER). Transcripts were analyzed inductively using grounded theory as a means of…

Analyzing differences between spatial exposure estimation methods
Examining how changes in provincial policy on vape marketing impacted the distribution of vaping advertisements near secondary schools in London, Ontario
The provincial ban of vaping advertisements in select retail settings significantly reduced the number of vaping advertisements in the areas surrounding secondary schools in London, Ontario. The ban also reduced socio-demographic inequities in youths' potential exposure to marketing of vaping products. Continued monitoring of the geographic accessibility and promotion of vaping products is warranted
Holding the keys to health? A scoping study of the population health impacts of automated vehicles
To support researchers and practitioners considering the health implications of AVs, we provide a conceptual map of the direct and indirect linkages between AV use and health outcomes. It is important that stakeholders, including public health agencies work to ensure that population health outcomes and equitable distribution of health impacts are priority considerations as regulators develop their response to AVs. We recommend that public health …
The ever-changing narrative
Smart prevention
Smart and connected communities (SCC) describe the shift in urbanism towards technological solutions and the production of knowledge-based industries. Local governments are recognizing the opportunity of this paradigm shift to improve services, create more efficient policies, and increase the wellbeing of their citizens. These new tools create the possibility for local governments to respond differently to “wicked problems” facing cities, includi…
