Building Brighter Futures
This abstract delves into the critical role of health equity programs, spotlighting Holland Bloorview's Family Support Fund and Emergency Transportation Fund, in fortifying pediatric care systems across Canada. Beyond immediate aid, these initiatives serve as pivotal agents in dismantling systemic barriers and cultivating inclusive healthcare ecosystems. Through collaborative endeavors, innovative approaches, and practical implementations, this s…
Overrepresentation of New Workers in Jobs with Multiple Carcinogen Exposures in Canada
Background. In Canada, understanding the demographic and job-related factors influencing the prevalence of new workers and their exposure to potential carcinogens is crucial for improving workplace safety and guiding policy interventions. Methods. Logistic regression was performed on the 2017 Labour Force Survey (LFS), to estimate the likelihood of being a new worker based on age, industry, occupation, season, and immigration status. Participants…
Impact of Playground Shade Structures on Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure and Physical Activity among Children at a Childcare Facility
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Canada, and rates continue to rise. While sunscreen and protective clothing remain critical strategies to reduce skin cancer risk, shade is generally the most effective way to control exposure. There remains a lack of data, particularly in British Columbia (BC), demonstrating the extent to which shade availability reduces ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure in a real-world setting and the potential impact…
Perspective
Young workers, those under the age of 25, are considered a vulnerable working population, primarily due to their increased risk of injury. In this study we investigate if young workers may also be at an increased risk for occupational exposure to carcinogens. Using the 2006 and 2016 Canadian Census of Population and previously obtained CAREX Canada data, this study aimed to identify sectors and occupations that have high proportions of young work…
The Instagram Infodemic Persists
The general cobranding of conspiracy theories and COVID-19 misinformation has been shared at an alarming rate on social media platforms. Instagram has attempted an initiative to flag and/or remove health misinformation and/or disinformation; however, the efficacy of these efforts has been unclear. This study aimed to re-examine 300 posts collected in a previous study evaluating trends in misinformation removal process on Instagram. One hundred ei…
The Instagram Infodemic
The novel coronavirus 2019 pandemic has brought about an overabundance of misinformation concerning the virus (SARS-CoV-2) and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) it causes spreading rapidly on social media. While some more obviously untrustworthy sources may be easier for social media filters to identify and remove, an early feature was the cobranding of COVID-19 misinformation with other types of misinformation. To examine this, the top 10 …
Strategic Task and Break Timing to Reduce Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure in Outdoor Workers
Objectives Public health messaging about sun avoidance strategies is often not practical for outdoor workers. The objective of this study was to use personal monitoring data to determine when peak UVR exposure occurs for outdoor workers, estimate how much UVR could be reduced by altering the timing of shady tasks or breaks during peak exposure times, and descriptively compare these to peak periods of ambient UVR. Ultimately, we aim to provide evi…
Population-level estimates of workplace exposure to secondhand smoke in Canada
Workplace exposure to asbestos and the risk of kidney cancer in Canadian men
This study found some evidence for an association between occupational exposure to asbestos and kidney cancer. Higher intensity of exposure to asbestos had the strongest relationship with kidney cancer risk
Exposed! Or not? The diminishing record of workplace exposure in Canada
Prevalence of Exposure to Solar Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) on the Job in Canada
