Parent attention‐orienting behavior is associated with neural entropy in infancy
Parents use joint attention to direct infants to environmental stimuli. We hypothesized that infants whose parents provide more bids for joint attention will display a more complex neural response when viewing social scenes. Sixty‐one 8‐month‐old infants underwent electroencephalography (EEG) while viewing videos of joint‐ and parallel‐play and participated in a free play interaction. EEG data was analyzed using multiscale entropy, which quantifi…
Engaging families to create a better post-pandemic future
Canadian youth and parents in our sample provided detailed descriptions on how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their wellbeing and the strategies they used to reduce these impacts as much as possible. There is a need for support both at-home and in-school, emphasizing the importance of having a range of programs that address challenges across all facets of youths' lives

This 30th issue of the World Development Report (WDR) is divided into three parts and eleven chapters. The first part addresses the question of what agriculture can do for development while the second part shifts its focus towards the instruments that can be used to …
Social factors associated with self-reported changes in mental health symptoms among youth in the Covid-19 pandemic
Self-reported data from a nationally representative sample of children and youth suggest strong associations between social factors and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interventions targeting child and youth familial relationships may positively impact child and youth mental health
Factors affecting hesitancy toward Covid-19 vaccine booster doses in Canada
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may develop or increase regarding subsequent vaccines. Our findings indicate factors to consider when targeting vaccine-hesitant populations
Public perceptions during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
This study found important demographic differences in how adults living in Canada perceived the COVID-19 pandemic, the impacts on their health, and their preferences for information acquisition. Our results highlight the need to consider demographic characteristics in tailoring the format and information medium to improve large scale acceptance and uptake of mitigation and containment measures

Equity, diversity and inclusion are foundational research skills
Sex and gender considerations in health research
The first step in precision health is the incorporation of sex and gender-based considerations and increasingly, a number of national organizations have instituted policies to support and encourage this practice. However, perspectives of trainees and allied research personnel on incorporation of sex and gender into research is lacking. We assessed trainee (undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, clinical trainees) and allied r…
