No short cuts
Racialized immigrant older adults (RIOAs) in Canada and other Global North countries face significant health inequities, yet remain underrepresented in health research and lack culturally appropriate health programs. While trust-building is essential for equitable community-engaged research, it requires time-intensive efforts to address cultural nuances, systemic barriers, and historical harms—often conflicting with institutional pressures for ef…
Developing a Research Agenda with Victim-Survivors to Improve Health Sector Responses to Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence in Australia
Purpose The World Health Organisation acknowledges the health sector as playing a key role in responding to those who experience and use domestic, family and sexual violence. Limited resources need to be well spent to ensure the best outcomes for victim-survivors and their families. This study was undertaken to explore : What do victim-survivors, researchers and practitioners see as the key research priorities for improving health sector response…
Re-framing mobility in older adults
Although there is widespread acceptance regarding the importance of mobility in older adults, there have been few attempts to bridge disciplines and move beyond the predominant focus on functional aspects of mobility. In this article, we present an adapted mobility framework with the goal of continued development to acknowledge the subjective and temporal elements of movement in order to comprehensively conceptualize mobility. The adapted framewo…
Interact
INTERACT aims to advance the evidence base on population health intervention research and address challenges related to big data, knowledge mobilization and engagement, ethics, and causality. We will collect ~ 100 TB of sensor data from participants over 5 years. We will address these challenges using interdisciplinary partnerships, training of highly qualified personnel, and modern methodologies for using sensor-based data
It makes your life worthwhile. It gives you a purpose in living’
The World Health Organization claims that mobility is vital to healthy ageing and is the best guarantee of older adults being able to cope and remain in their homes and communities. Mobility enables older adults to maintain their physical health, independence and participation in society. In general, mobility is examined objectively, from a quantitative perspective where mobility is measured as physical movement ( e.g. physical activity) and/or t…
A grounded visualization approach to explore sociospatial and temporal complexities of older adults' mobility
Scaling-up an efficacious school-based physical activity intervention

InterActive Interpreted Interviews (I3)
Therapeutic landscapes and wellbeing in later life
Where do they go and how do they get there? Older adults' travel behaviour in a highly walkable environment
Generating GPS activity spaces that shed light upon the mobility habits of older adults
BACKGROUND: Measuring mobility is critical for understanding neighborhood influences on older adults' health and functioning. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) may represent an important opportunity to measure, describe, and compare mobility patterns in older adults. METHODS: We generated three types of activity spaces (Standard Deviation Ellipse, Minimum Convex Polygon, Daily Path Area) using GPS data from 95 older adults in Vancouver, Canada. Ca…
A cross-cultural comparison of body composition, physical fitness and physical activity between regional samples of Canadian and English children and adolescents
The secrets of highly active older adults
Ethical Dimensions of International Grantmaking
By their very nature and purpose, foundations are powerful leaders in society. Pressure to maintain the public trust has consequently focused attention on their behavior. While codes of conduct have been produced, foundation officers have yet to make explicit the values that shape their work. The pressure and complexity of foundation decision making — the ways in which priorities are identified and strategies implemented — compel recognition of t…

Police protection of intimidated witnesses
Against a background of growing concern about the murder and attempted murder of witnesses giving evidence in cases of serious and organised crime, several police forces in the UK have established specialist units to permanently relocate witnesses whose lives are in danger. Modelled largely on similar units operating in the US, the first part of the paper looks at the US experience of providing high level witness protection. The paper then draws …
Witness Intimidation, Forced Migration and Resettlement
Situated within the context of geographical research on forced migration, this paper focuses on the experiences of prosecution witnesses who have had to flee their homes because of life‐threatening intimidation. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with witnesses, it examines the nature of the threat they were under, their decision to leave home, their life in temporary accommodation and their experiences of permanent resettlement away from the danger …
