The Stressors, Complexities, and Coping Strategies Experienced by Frontline Worker’s Families During Covid-19 Pandemic in Canada
Exploring the barriers and facilitators of continuous quality improvement for health promotion within healthcare food environments
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) has become a widely accepted approach to optimize health services while lowering healthcare costs (Quintuple Aim) and has expanded from clinical interventions to health promotion. Retail food environments (e.g. hospital cafeterias, cafes) are of interest given the increased adoption of healthy eating policies and interventions to influence diet (e.g. price, promotion, placement and product). However, there is …
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
Sepsis brought him to his knees”
Our analysis of participant's lived experiences with sepsis suggest that public communications should aim to (1) improve sepsis symptom recognition, (2) foster perceptions that sepsis is personally relevant, and (3) cultivate and support health advocacy
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
Exploring the influence of behavioural, normative and control beliefs on intentions to adhere to public health guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic
Individual perceptions of risk, loss of control, access to resources (i.e., childcare), and societal expectations, shaped intentions to engage in disease preventative behaviours (i.e., social distancing) during the COVID-19 pandemic
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
Revisiting Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy around the world using data from 23 countries in 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact daily life, including health system operations, despite the availability of vaccines that are effective in greatly reducing the risks of death and severe disease. Misperceptions of COVID-19 vaccine safety, efficacy, risks, and mistrust in institutions responsible for vaccination campaigns have been reported as factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy. This study investigated COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy gl…
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

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…
Postdoctoral scholars in a faculty of education
The last decade has seen a slow but steady increase in the number of postdoctoral scholars employed in faculties of education. In this article, seven postdoctoral scholars who worked in the same Canadian faculty of education explore their past positionings within the postdoctoral space. We share personal narratives related to issues of agency and identity in our relatively ill-defined positions. Similar to other early career academics, our reflec…
Caught in between
In both Canada and the United States, middle-income families feel neglected by policymakers but struggle to balance their financial need and desire for government support on the one hand with neoliberal beliefs in self-reliance and self-responsibility on the other. The focus of this paper is on the tensions experienced by middle-income participants in both countries as they try to negotiate a place for themselves amid these competing discourses. …

Trying to do more with less? Negotiating intensive mothering and financial strain in Canada
This article explores the ways in which middle-income mothers negotiate the hegemony of intensive mothering when faced with financial strain. We consider how finances are linked to mothers’ ability to practise their preferred version of ‘good’ mothering, and the strategies used to marshal the financial resources necessary to implement this model. We find that much heterogeneity exists in the ways that mothers respond to the discourse of intensive…
