Strengthening field epidemiology capacity in Canada
Background Field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) play a critical role in strengthening public health capacity for surveillance, outbreak investigation, and evidence-based decision making. The Canadian Field Epidemiology Program (CFEP), established in 1975, was the first program outside of the United States. This study presents findings from a mixed-methods evaluation examining program outputs, outcomes, and impacts. Methods Canadian field …
Building epidemiological capacity to strengthen health systems
Introduction Papua New Guinea (PNG) has implemented a three-tiered Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) to strengthen their public health workforce. The first advanced (extended) level FETP (aFETPNG) commenced in 2019. This study evaluates the outputs, outcomes and impacts of aFETPNG. Methods Guided by an FETP impact evaluation framework, a mixed-methods evaluation was conducted to assess program effectiveness and identify opportunities for…
The importance of qualitative social science research for informed public health policy at local and national levels
Australia employs an evidence-based approach to public health policy, emphasizing disease prevention, health promotion, and healthcare access that is informed by relevant research. However, implementing effective policy can be challenging due to the complexity of various public health issues. Social and behavioral factors significantly impact individual and community health outcomes, necessitating a deeper understanding of their interrelationship…
The experience of delayed health care access during the Covid 19 pandemic in Australian women
Delayed health care access is a potential collateral effect of pandemic conditions, health rationing strategies and social distancing responses. We investigated experiences of delayed health care access in Australian women during COVID-19. A mixed methods study used quantitative and free-text data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health COVID-19 survey 4 (health care access or delay). Logistic regression models were used to estim…
Clinician Perspectives of the Evidence Underpinning Suicide Risk Assessment
In recent years, suicide risk assessment has become the subject of a vigorous academic debate, due in part to several meta-analyses that have cast doubt on the accuracy of risk categorisation. Little is known about how clinicians make sense of this academic debate. However, it is anticipated that it may pose a tension due to organisational expectations that multidisciplinary health professionals, including social workers, assess and manage suicid…
Reckoning With Our Privileges in the Cyc Classroom
As three white educators working in three different post-secondary contexts, teaching child and youth care (CYC) to diverse undergraduate students, we are interested in exploring the ethical, political, and pedagogical challenges and opportunities of creating learning spaces that can support concrete actions towards decolonizing praxis, social justice, and collective ethics. In order to support each other’s developing praxis, we have recently beg…
The costs of risk and fear
Over the past several decades, the paradigm of risk has become increasingly salient for understanding how health care is provided. In more recent years, we have seen an expanding body of literature raising concerns of possible harms that a focus on risk may carry. Despite considerable research interest in risk, relatively little is known about the construction of risk in contexts of allied health resource allocation decision-making. This article …
What is needed in culturally competent healthcare systems? A qualitative exploration of culturally diverse patients and professional interpreters in an Australian healthcare setting
In an era of growing ethnic diversity this study confirms the complexity of providing a therapeutic relationships in contemporary health practice. This can be enhanced by training towards the effective use of professional interpreters in a hospital setting. Such efforts should be multidisciplinary and collective in order to ensure patients don't fall through the gaps with regards to the provision of culturally competent care
The experience of interpreter access and language discordant clinical encounters in Australian health care
Patients with low English proficiency are at risk of being less informed of care processes, and having a very large volume of information given in a shorter period of time when an interpreter is present. There is a need for systematic and transformative change that addresses utilisation of professional interpreters as well as embedded healthcare culture and practices leading to less interaction with patients with limited English proficiency and r…
Enhancing judicial skills in domestic violence cases
The overwhelming number and complexity of domestic violence cases in criminal and family courts has resulted in the development of education programmes to assist judges. There is limited research on judicial education in this area. This paper reviews one such initiative entitled ‘Enhancing Judicial Skills in Domestic Violence Cases’ (EJS) that has been developed and implemented over the last 20 years by the National Judicial Institute on Domestic…
Seeing suicidology in a new light
We are pleased to introduce this special issue of Death Studies, which showcases original research, theoretical contributions, and critical reflexivity under the banner of critical suicidology. The
What can critical suicidology do
Critical suicidology is an emerging area of scholarship and praxis that brings together academics, community activists, service users, practitioners, policy makers, family members, and persons with lived experience, to rethink what it means to study suicide and enact practices of suicide prevention in more diverse and creative, less psychocentric and less depoliticized, ways. In this article, I begin to articulate what it might mean to "think lik…
Why an alternative to suicide prevention gatekeeper training is needed for rural Indigenous communities
The need for effective youth suicide prevention is uncontested, and is particularly urgent for Indigenous populations. The Indigenous youth suicide rates in some North American communities can be 18 times greater than for other young people. Despite the clear need, evidence in support of Indigenous youth suicide prevention strategies remain mixed. The most common approach to youth suicide prevention - gatekeeper training - may have limited effect…
Relational Inquiries and the Research Interview
In this article we describe some of the challenges and constraints that students face when they engage in qualitative research interviews. We borrow extensively from Ron Pelias' in-depth description of leaning in during everyday life encounters. Although he refers to other kinds of relationships, we believe that the similarities are too important to overlook when it comes to the qualitative research interview. We begin the discussion by identifyi…
The relationship between breast size and anthropometric characteristics
OBJECTIVES: Current clinical selection criteria for mammaplasty use weight-related parameters, and weight loss is recommended as a nonsurgical intervention to reduce breast size. However, research has not firmly established if breast size is related to body size and composition. This study aims to investigate anthropometric characteristics in smaller and larger breasted women and identify predictors of breast mass. METHODS: A bra fitter determine…
Collaborative knowledge-making in the everyday practice of youth suicide prevention education
The development and implementation of a new school‐based suicide prevention education programme in one secondary school in Vancouver, British Columbia, recently provided us with an opportunity to conduct an in‐depth, qualitative case study. The purpose of our study was to deepen our understanding of how school‐based suicide prevention education programmes like this one get planned and enacted in particular, local settings. We argue that the narro…

Processes of Discernment when Considering Issues of Neglect in Child Protection Practice
Hindlimb suspension and hind foot reversal in Varecia variegata and other arboreal mammals
The foot, perhaps more than any other region of the primate body, reflects the interaction of positional behaviors with the geometric properties of available supports. The ability to reverse the hind foot during hindlimb suspension while hanging from a horizontal support or descending a large diameter vertical trunk has been noted in many arboreal mammals, including primates. Observations of Varecia variegata in the wild and under seminatural con…

Delay of Gratification, Psychopathology, and Personality
We assessed the delay of gratification behavior of 428 twelve and thirteen‐year‐old boys, half of whom were known to manifest symptoms of behavioral disturbance. Consistent with the hypothesis that low self‐control is a risk factor specific to externalizing (aggressive and delinquent) disorders, boys who showed signs of externalizing disorders tended to seek immediate gratification in a laboratory task more often than both nondisordered boys and …
