  • What counts as public health expenditures? A comparative case study of Australia, Canada, and England

    Open AccessMélanie S S Seabrook, Sara Allin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    The current lack of clarity with what public health budgets are spent on globally impedes research and informed resource allocation. This study aimed to examine the extent to which disaggregated public health expenditures data is publicly reported and determine which core public health functions are funded in three countries. A targeted search of government websites was conducted to identify datasets of disaggregated public health expenditures at…

  • “Doing extra work and not getting extra help”

    Open AccessD Jacobson, Arija Birze et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: During the pandemic, a "no visitors" policy was implemented across hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Without caregivers present in-hospital to support patient care (e.g., treatment decision-making, advocacy, treatment compliance, social support), there was a perceived decline in care quality. Despite existing research on the extra work required to navigate the loss of caregiver support in-hospital, there is a paucity of understanding abou…

  • Econometric analysis of the long-run relationship between preventive care spending and mortality

    Open AccessMehdi Ammi, Farzaneh DavarzaniARTICLEEmpirical Economics2025

    While the share of health spending from public sources dedicated to preventive care has increased, the extent to which this preventive care spending can reduce mortality is still uncertain, mainly since effects may occur only in the long run. This paper takes advantage of a recent econometric method to empirically examine the long-run relationship between mortality and public preventive care spending in 37 OECD countries from 1970 to 2019. We con…

    The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly altered the provision, experience, and outcomes of cancer care around the globe.

  • Factors influencing public health financing in British Columbia

    Open AccessMélanie S S Seabrook, Mehdi Ammi et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2025References: 20

    This study sheds light on some of the possible policy strategies for sustaining public health funding, such as inclusion of public health experts in financial decision-making and developing public health performance indicators, which may inform current public health system strengthening efforts

  • Political determinants of Covid-19 restrictions and vaccine rollouts

    Open AccessPablo Arija Prieto, Matteo Antonini et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most significant public health crises in modern history, with considerable impacts on the policy frameworks of national governments. In response to the pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and mass vaccination campaigns have been employed to protect vulnerable groups. Through the lens of Political Budget Cycle (PBC) theory, this study explores the interplay between incumbent electoral concerns and …

    Open AccessF Antoine Dedewanou, Sara Allin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Consensus emerged rapidly among Canadian public health decision-makers on prioritizing public health budget and time frame for spending.

Future research shall explore potential trade-offs between these priorities

  • Interpreting forty-three-year trends of expenditures on public health in Canada

    Open AccessMehdi Ammi, Emmanuelle Arpin et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2021

    The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns around public health (PH) investments. Among OECD countries, Canada devotes one of the largest shares of total health expenditures to PH. Examining retrospectively PH spending growth over a very long period may hold lessons on how to reach this high share. Further, different historical periods can be used to understand how macroeconomic conditions affect PH spending growth. Using forty-three years of data…

  • Le score de propension

    Open AccessAurélie Lecocq, Mehdi Ammi et al.ARTICLEMesure et évaluation en éducation2016Cited by: 4References: 3

    La méthode du score de propension devient de plus en plus populaire pour estimer les effets causaux d’un programme d’intervention. Si les applications empiriques de cette méthode sont encore rares dans les recherches en éducation, des exemples de son utilisation se trouvent aisément dans d’autres disciplines. Cependant, sa mise en place soulève plusieurs questions. L’objectif de cet article est de fournir des éléments de réponses guidant le cherc…
