Built environment change for injury prevention
Public health professionals' insights about barriers and facilitators show that some of their work aligns with the existing OPHS. Needs of local populations are clearly identified, while local data illustrating the impact of public health interventions are lacking. There are limits to PHU's capacities, as well as the capacities of communities, which can be strengthened through the work of champions and advocates. Partnerships, collaboration, and …
The association between positive parent–child interaction and mental health outcomes in children aged 1–11 years in Canada
While it is theorized that positive PCI is predictive of child mental health, this study did not find a consistent association, except for the frequency at which the parent laughs with the child. This suggests that PCI, as measured in CHSCY, is not a strong indicator of child mental health. Yet, as PCI is an important parenting concept, the PCI items in the CHSCY may not adequately capture the intended construct. Future studies should consider as…
Secondary School Nutrition Policy Compliance in Ontario and Alberta, Canada
(1) Objective: To longitudinally assess food and beverages sold in vending machines in secondary schools (grades 9-12) participating in the COMPASS study (2015/2016 and 2018/2019) and (2) to examine if patterns and trends observed in previous years (2012/2013 to 2014/2015) are consistent with lack of policy compliance in Ontario and Alberta, Canada. (2) Methods: Policy compliance was assessed through comparing nutritional information on drink (e.…
Exploring Factors Contributing to the Implementation of Ontario’s Healthy Kids Community Challenge
(1) Background: To explore factors contributing to the Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) program implementation; (2) Methods: Data were collected through a quantitative survey (n = 124) and in-depth telephone interviews (n = 16) with program providers. Interviews were recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis using NVivo; (3) Results: Provincial funding and in-kind support from community partners were key. Initiatives were feasible to …

Parents’ Perceived Barriers to Accessing Sports and Recreation Facilities in Ontario, Canada
Sports and recreation facilities provide places where children can be physically active. Previous research has shown that availability is often worse in lower-socioeconomic status (SES) areas, yet others have found inverse relationships, no relationships, or mixed findings. Since children's health behaviours are influenced by their parents, it is important to understand parents' perceived barriers to accessing sports and recreation facilities. Da…
Do parents’ support behaviours predict whether or not their children get sufficient sleep? A cross-sectional study
The contribution of parental support behaviours to predictions of children meeting sleep guidelines varied with the type of support provided, and weekend versus weekday sleep. While only enforcing bedtime rules on weekdays contributed to children meeting sleep guidelines, the importance of children getting a good night's sleep, and the capacity of parents to help them do so, should be emphasized in public health efforts promoting healthy child de…

The impact of different types of parental support behaviours on child physical activity, healthy eating, and screen time
Health promotion efforts aimed at improving particular parent support behaviours could be effective levers for mitigating the burden of excess body weight in childhood. As such, the influence of support behaviours should be fully considered in any comprehensive approach to prevention and reduction of childhood overweight and obesity
Understanding emerging environmental health risks
Society faces risks, hazards, and crises on a seemingly daily basis. This is not new; indeed, pre‐modern societies were subjected to natural hazards that could be attributed to fate (e.g., natural disasters), and human‐made hazards considered manageable. However, late‐modern society is increasingly exposed to risks that are products of the modernization process itself (e.g., health impacts of climate change) emerging from broad changes in human‐e…
Comparing health status and access to health care in Canada’s largest metropolitan areas
Research has shown persistent inequalities in access to health care between and within sociodemographic groups and geographic areas. Yet much of what we know about geographical disparities in access comes from studies of regional and urban/rural contrasts, or from studies of intra-urban, neighborhood-level variations. We know relatively little about variations in access to primary health care across different urban areas, and whether such variati…
Diagnosis and treatment of food allergies in off‐reserve Aboriginal children in Canada
Food allergies have emerged as an important public health risk in many countries, Canada included, affecting children at a disproportionate rate. However, we know very little about food allergies among Aboriginal children in Canada, who are often characterized as representing a particularly vulnerable population with respect to health and life conditions more generally. Our objective was to address this gap by exploring the prevalence and managem…
Realizing neighbourhood potential? The role of the availability of health care services on contact with a primary care physician
Access to health services research has traditionally focused on demographic, socioeconomic, and need-based factors, resulting in a relative lack of knowledge regarding place-based determinants. Further, much of what we know comes from international, national, and regional study. This study analyzes survey data (n=1635) to explore the relationship between neighbourhood-level potential access (i.e., availability) and realized access (i.e., use) in …
Frames, claims and audiences
Food allergies are newly emerging health risks, and some evidence indicates that their prevalence is increasing. Public perception, however, is that the prevalence of food allergies is much greater than systematic estimates suggest. As food allergies increasingly permeate everyday life, this paper explores how associated risks are constructed through the mass media. In particular, nine years of media coverage of food allergies are analysed throug…
