Clustering of countries based on national essential medicines lists
Introduction National essential medicines lists (NEMLs) guide medicine selection and procurement and are key tools for promoting equitable access. While countries adapt their lists to national priorities, underlying medical needs are broadly similar across settings; however, factors beyond epidemiological need influence which medicines are included on national lists. We assessed whether countries can be empirically grouped based on their NEML con…
An essential medicines list in Ireland
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends each country develop a national essential medicines list (NEML), prioritising a core medicines set aligned with national health needs. Policy in Ireland partly focusses on prescribing costs and quality, which creates opportunities for NEML development. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore interest-holders' perspectives on an Irish NEML. METHODS: We applied a descriptive qualitative methodology. Using…
Experiences of people with diabetes receiving a voucher for healthy foods
Food insecurity is linked to lower consumption of healthy foods in people with diabetes. Food prescription programs may improve diabetes outcomes and promote fruit and vegetable intake among people with diabetes. We conducted a qualitative study to understand the experiences of people with diabetes or prediabetes facing food insecurity who were receiving a monthly food voucher as part of a clinical trial. For this qualitative study, we purposeful…
Experiences of land-based treatment program for Indigenous people
The Gwekwaadziwin Miikan land-based treatment program provided connection with Indigeneity and with the land that might counteract processes that dispossess Indigenous people of their land. These findings can help support the wider implementation of land-based treatment programs and similar programs that centre Indigenous learnings and healing practices

The Potential Role of Ecotoxicological Data in National Essential Medicine Lists
This study underscores the limited availability of ecotoxicological data, which hinders environmental risk assessment for medicines. EMLs could serve as a tool to enhance the awareness and data mobilization of pharmaceutical pollution. Incorporating environmental criteria into EMLs could support more sustainable medicine selection and regulatory practices
Discontinuation of HIV oral pre-exposure prophylaxis
The behavioural and demographic factors associated with early discontinuation of PrEP suggest that risk stratification of pre-initiation and follow up counselling may be helpful in raising continuation rates. On the service delivery side, strategies to strengthen follow-up services provided by community-based distribution sites need to be introduced. Overall, the low continuation rate calls for a review of programmatic approaches in provision of …
The effect of cash transfers on health in high-income countries
High-income countries use cash transfer programs to mitigate poverty, in part to improve the health of low-income populations and potentially reduce their use of public health care. This review synthesizes evidence from studies that employed experimental or quasi-experimental designs to evaluate the effect of cash transfer interventions on health outcomes or health care utilization in high-income countries. We excluded interventions if they requi…
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies among children receiving primary care in Toronto, Ontario
Shared health governance, mutual collective accountability, and transparency in Covax
Background: To facilitate global COVID-19 vaccine equity, the World Health Organization, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, and the United Nations Children's Fund supported the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) partnership. COVAX's goals may have best been pursued through shared health governance - a theory of global health governance based on six premises, in which global…

Police Funding and Crime Rates in 20 of Canada's Largest Municipalities
Tandis que la littérature évaluant diverses pratiques et reformes policières continue de s’accroitre, il y a présentement peu de recherche qui examine le financement de la police au Canada. Pour décrire la situation présente du financement de la police au Canada, nous recueillissions et publions des données sur les dépenses municipales de services policiers de 2010 à 2021 de 20 des municipalités urbaines les plus peuplées au Canada. Notre analyse…

Public health preventive measures and child health behaviours during Covid-19
Public health preventive measures during COVID-19 were associated with a negative impact on the health behaviours of Canadian children living in a large metropolitan area
A comparison of national essential medicines lists in the Americas
Objectives. To compare national essential medicines lists (NEMLs) from countries in the Region of the Americas and to identify potential opportunities for improving those lists. Methods. In June of 2017, NEMLs from 31 countries in the Americas were abstracted from documents included in a World Health Organization (WHO) repository. The lists from the Americas were compared to each other and to NEMLs from outside of the Americas, as well as with th…
