An evaluation of barriers and facilitators to implementing multiplex rapid antigen testing for Sars-CoV-2 and influenza A and B in congregate living settings
Introduction: Point of care multiplex rapid antigen testing (RAT) is a tool that can be used to mitigate and respond to facility-based infectious disease outbreaks. However, little is known about how to optimally implement this testing in congregate living settings (CLSs), including long term care homes (LTCHs), retirement homes (RHs), and shelters serving people experiencing homelessness. Our objective was to explore the barriers and facilitator…
Stigma and fear during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: We sought to explore healthcare providers (HCPs)' perceptions of and experiences with stigma during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada and Singapore. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study (May 2020-February 2021) with HCPs in Canada and Singapore and developed a semi-structured interview guide rooted in the Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework (HSDF). We recruited participants online and through word of mouth via newsletters,…
A knowledge translation toolkit for maternal health implementation planning in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Knowledge translation (KT) approaches have been advocated to increase uptake of evidence to improve maternal health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, their use is limited by lack of KT capacity and limited applicability of many existing KT tools to the unique challenges of LMIC health settings. We developed and evaluated a toolkit designed for use by non-experts and tailored to support implementation plann…
Patterns of Sars-CoV-2 seropositivity among essential workers in long term care and retirement homes in Ontario, Canada
Understanding patterns of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among Long-Term Care Home and Retirement Home (LTCH/RH) staff is critical to designing effective public health interventions. We estimated SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among LTCH/RH staff in Ontario, Canada between May 2021-October 2022 using a cross-sectional analysis. Eligible participants completed a demographic questionnaire and provided a dried blood spot sample. Positive seroprevalence was de…
Connectivity between long-term care homes and subsequent Sars-CoV-2 outbreaks
Staff cohorting was associated with reduced importation risk of SARS-CoV-2 cases into LTCH. However, once importation has occurred, other facility-level factors including facility infrastructure and staff benefits are more important in shaping outbreak size. Implementing these structural strategies to meet the LTCH workers and residents' needs are pivotal to prevent and manage future respiratory virus outbreaks
A qualitative study on health stigma and discrimination in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: Stigmatisation, misinformation and discrimination have been magnified globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The healthcare sector was not spared from this. We conducted a transnational study, using the Health Stigma and Discrimination framework (HSDF) to explore public perception and reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic in a multicultural context. Findings from the Asian arm of the study, sited in Singapore, are reported in this paper.…
Exploring Canadian perceptions and experiences of stigma during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to stigmatization of individuals based on race/ethnicity, age, gender, and occupation, among other factors. We canvassed Canadian residents to explore perceptions of and experiences with stigma during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: stigma. Residents of Ontario, Canada were eligible to participate and we aimed to recruit a sample that was diverse by race/ethnicity and age. Results: A total of 1,823 indivi…
Canadian public perceptions and experiences with information during the Covid-19 pandemic
We provide insights on Canadian experiences navigating COVID-19 information, where more than half perceived encountering misinformation on platforms when seeking COVID-19 information . We provide recommendations to inform public health communications during future health emergencies
Gender Bias in Collaborative Medical Decision Making
This initial, exploratory study on gender bias in collaborative medical decision making examined the degree to which physicians’ reliance on a team member’s patient care advice differs as a function of the gender of the advice giver. In 2018, 283 anesthesiologists read a brief, online clinical vignette and were randomly assigned to receive treatment advice from 1 of 8 possible sources (physician or nurse, man or woman, experienced or inexperience…
Understanding the role of community resilience in addressing the Ebola virus disease epidemic in Liberia
Efforts to systematically build responsible leadership and social capital at community level, including those that strengthen bonds in communities and trust across key actors in the health system, are needed to address health shocks like EVD outbreaks. Without building such capabilities in community resilience, it will be difficult to reap the expected gains from investments focusing on building physical capital and technical capabilities in heal…
