Evidence-informed recommendations for municipal supports of people experiencing homelessness during extreme weather events
Municipalities are increasingly faced with a growing climate justice issue: the intersection of rising housing vulnerabilities (e.g. increased rates of homelessness) and climate hazards (e.g. extreme weather events), which disproportionately impact people experiencing homelessness (PEH). Despite the strong role that municipalities have to play in supporting PEH during extreme weather events, municipal interventions remain poorly researched. To in…
Describing patterns of support for alcohol reduction policies among policy influencers and general public in Alberta (2016–2021)
BACKGROUND: Uptake of alcohol policies has been limited in Canada. Using data from Alberta, we examined 1) patterns in support for alcohol policies among policy influencers and the general public, and 2) identified socio-demographic predictors of policy support separately among policy influencers and general public. METHODS: We used survey datasets (2016-2021) obtained from the Chronic Disease Prevention Survey that collected data from policy inf…
Untangling Concepts of Financial Circumstances for Public Health Professionals and Scholars
Public health discipline and practice have prioritized work on poverty and populations at high risk for material deprivation, with less consideration for the full spectrum of financial circumstances relative to well-being. Public health can make a much-needed contribution to this area, which is currently dominated by the financial industry, focused on individual behaviors, and lacking the definitional consensus needed for research and evaluation.…
Variability in public health programming and priorities to address health inequities across public health units in Ontario, Canada
An action-oriented public health framework to reduce financial strain and promote financial wellbeing in high-income countries
The Framework reveals the intersectionality of root causes and consequences of financial strain and poor financial wellbeing, while also reinforcing the need for tailored actions to promote socioeconomic and health equity for all people. The dynamic, systemic interplay of the entry points illustrated in the Framework suggest opportunities for multi-sectoral, collaborative action across government and organizations towards systems change and the p…
The health equity measurement framework
The HEMF highlights intervention areas to be influenced by strategic public policy for any organisation whose purview has an effect on health, including helping non-health sectors (such as education and labour) to better understand how their policies influence population health and perceive their role in health equity promotion. The HEMF recognises the complexity surrounding the SDOH and provides a clear, overarching direction for empirical work …
Canadian policy perspectives on promoting physical activity across age-friendly communities
Population ageing combined with physical inactivity has critical implications for the public health of communities in the twenty-first century. In the last decade, the World Health Organization launched the age-friendly cities agenda, aiming to address population ageing through whole-systems, rights-based, health equity-focused approaches. An important intervention for age-friendly communities is modifying built environments to support population…
Comparing food environment and food purchase in areas with low and high prevalence of obesity
Our study aimed to compare key aspects of the food environment in two low-income areas in the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil: one with low and the other with high prevalence of obesity. We compared the availability of retail food establishments, the types of food sold, and the residents' eating habits. Demographic and socioeconomic data and eating habits were obtained from a population-based health survey. We also analyzed local food e…
Happy life expectancy among older adults
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if the happy life expectancy in older adults differs according to sex and functional limitations. METHODS: Life expectancy was estimated by Chiang method, and happy life expectancy was estimated by Sullivan method, combining mortality data with the prevalence of happiness. The questions on happiness and limitations came from a health survey, which interviewed 1,514 non-institutionalized older adults living in the city of Ca…
Perceived community environmental influences on eating behaviors
People's perceptions of local food environments influence their abilities to eat healthily. PhotoVoice participants from four communities in Alberta, Canada took pictures of barriers and opportunities for healthy eating and shared their stories in one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Using a socioecological framework, emergent themes were organized by type and size of environment. Findings show that, while availability and access to food outlet…
How community environment shapes physical activity
Possibilities and challenges for physical and social environment research in Brazil
This systematic review analyzed articles focused on the relationship between environment (physical, built, perceived, and social) and smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, diet, and obesity in Brazil. Studies published between 19952011 were retrieved from seven databases and hand searches. Based on the 42 articles reviewed, gaps were identified and recommendations were made for future research. Despite a growing number of studies, the Bra…
Mortality among adults
Substandard living conditions are related to unhealthy behaviors, as well as difficulties in accessing health care. Therefore, the Brazilian Health System (SUS) must ensure greater access to primary and hospital care, and develop programs that promote healthier lifestyles among vulnerable groups to reduce social inequalities in mortality. Moreover, because deaths from external causes are concentrated in poor areas, cooperative and coordinated int…
Atendimentos de emergência a vítimas de violências e acidentes
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as diferenças no perfil dos atendimentos de emergência por causas externas, entre as unidades de saúde públicas/conveniadas ao SUS e as privadas. Com dados do VIVA-Campinas 2009, foi verificada a associação entre natureza do serviço de saúde e características das vítimas, evento e atendimento usando teste qui-quadrado. A partir da regressão de Poisson, foram estimadas as razões entre a proporção de atendimento…
Tendência dos acidentes de trânsito em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil
Com o objetivo de descrever a tendência de ocorrência de acidentes de trânsito, sua mortalidade, tipo de veículo envolvido, tamanho da frota e perfil das vítimas em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil, entre 1995 e 2008, foram estimadas taxas de motorização e ocorrência de acidentes, letalidade, mortalidade proporcional, taxas de mortalidade e razões entre taxas. A frota de motocicletas cresceu 241%. Apesar da queda da letalidade dos acidentes de ocupant…
Reduction of social inequalities in life expectancy in a city of Southeastern Brazil
The reduction of social inequalities in life expectancy suggests that living and health conditions have improved over time, due to social and health policies. The expansion of both health care coverage and cash transfer policies could have had positive effects on mortality reduction and on the consequent increase in the life expectancy, especially for the poor population
SP6-24 Social inequalities in adult mortality in Brazil
Introduction To assess health inequalities is an important issue in a country like Brazil with one of the highest income inequities in the world. The aim of this study was to analyse the magnitude of social inequalities in mortality among population aged 20 and older, living in a city of one million people in Southeastern Brazil, in 2004–2008. Methods The 49 areas of healthcare units were classified into 3 homogeneous strata using 2000 Census sma…
Esperança de vida ao nascer
O objetivo do estudo foi examinar o impacto das mudanças na mortalidade por idades e causas de morte sobre o aumento da esperança de vida ao nascer no Município de Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil, entre 1991, 2000 e 2005. Foram construídas tábuas de vida. O método de Pollard foi aplicado para estimar as contribuições das idades e causas de morte na variação da longevidade. O grupo etário de 0-1 ano foi o que mais contribuiu com o aumento da vida médi…
Diabetes auto-referido em idosos
