Modeling the Cumulative Effects of Social Exposures on Health
The traditional explanatory models used in epidemiology are "disease specific", identifying risk factors for specific health conditions. Yet social exposures lead to a generalized, cumulative health impact which may not be specific to one illness. Disease-specific models may therefore misestimate social factors' effects on health. Using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey and Canada 2001 Census we construct and compare "disease-specifi…
Drinking in context
BACKGROUND: Findings from contextual studies have shown that living in both poor and affluent neighbourhoods increases the risk of drinking and drug use, but few studies have examined the connection between neighbourhood context and drinking from a gender perspective. METHODS: We investigated the association between gender, neighbourhood deprivation and weekly drinking behaviour (number of drinks) in a national sample of 93 457 Canadians using mu…
Worse than HIV' or 'not as serious as other diseases'? Conceptualization of cervical cancer among newly screened women in Zambia
Neighbourhood deprivation and regional inequalities in self-reported health among Canadians
Neighbourhood chronic stress and gender inequalities in hypertension among Canadian adults
BACKGROUND: A growing body of literature regarding the contextual influences of 'place' effects on health increasingly demonstrates that living in neighbourhoods with high levels of deprivation is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes; however, little research has explored whether neighbourhood deprivation has a differential impact on the cardiovascular health of men and women. The purpose of this study was to explore gender differences i…
Prevalence and predictors of HIV infection amongst Malian students
The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to assess the prevalence and identify predictors of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection among students in three cities of Mali. Between January and June 2005, we assessed HIV knowledge, attitudes, associated sexual behaviors and tested HIV serostatus among 950 high school and university students in Sikasso, Bamako, and Koulikoro cities, using a combination of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and We…
