Improved vaccine coverage for First Nations children receiving first dose on-reserve
INTRODUCTION: Fragmentation in immunisation reporting systems pose challenges in measuring vaccine coverage for First Nations children in Canada. Some Nations have entered into data-sharing agreements with the province of Alberta's health ministry, enabling novel opportunities to calculate coverage. METHODS: Partnering with a First Nations community in Alberta, this retrospective cohort study calculated routine childhood vaccine coverage. Adminis…
Exploring the reasons for low pertussis vaccine effectiveness in Ontario, Canada, 2006–2008
Injury-related health services use and mortality among Métis people in Alberta
Epidemiology of pertussis in Alberta, Canada 2004–2015
Pertussis incidence rates fluctuated over the period across all age groups. The majority of cases had no record of vaccination or were delayed in receiving vaccines. CUSUM analysis was an effective method for identifying outbreaks
Herpes zoster vaccine (HZV)
Rates of HZV dispensing are increasing rapidly in Alberta despite a lack of public funding. A small proportion of the vaccine may be dispensed off-label
Validity of Administrative Data Claim-based Methods for Identifying Individuals with Diabetes at a Population Level
Geographic hierarchies of diagnostic practice style in cerebrovascular disease
Health Disparities in Chickenpox or Shingles in Alberta
Health-related Behaviours in Adults with Diabetes
Vision for a Global Registry of Anticipated Public Health Studies
In public health, the generation, management, and transfer of knowledge all need major improvement. Problems in generating knowledge include an imbalance in research funding, publication bias, unnecessary studies, adherence to fashion, and undue interest in novel and immediate issues. Impaired generation of knowledge, combined with a dated and inadequate process for managing knowledge and an inefficient system for transferring knowledge, mean a d…
Modelling Geographic Variations in West Nile Virus
Diagnostic uncertainty and medical geography
The administration of the Canadian health care system requires the collection of large quantities of health data that some health researchers have used to map the spatial distribution of disease. The authors discuss the difficulty of separating genuine geographic variations in health and disease from geographic differences in how diseases are diagnosed, and how these diagnoses are represented in an administrative data system. Although there have …
Is Paternal Age Associated with an Increased Risk of Low Birthweight, Preterm Delivery, and Multiple Birth

Past and Current Drug Use among Canadian Correctional Officers
Current and past drug use was assessed in a sample of 77 Canadian correctional officers working in two medium-security penitentiaries. 58% of correctional officers indicated past illicit drug use. This compares with 20% of Canadians who indicate illicit drug use. Correctional officers were more likely than the general population to have used marijuana and cocaine
A Survey of Drinking Behaviors of Canadian Correctional Officers
77 correctional officers from two Canadian medium security penitentiaries were surveyed concerning their use of alcohol. 94% reported drinking at least once during the preceding year. 45 men consumed alcohol more frequently than the 29 women, more often felt obligated to drink at social gatherings, and were more likely to believe that drinkers do not suffer health problems related to their drinking. Although other studies have indicated correctio…
Gender and Age Differences in the Drinking Behaviors of University Students
A sample of 457 university students were queried concerning their use of alcohol. The majority (90%) of students reported drinking at least once over the past year, with men drinking more often. Age differences were noted, with older students (Mdn = 32.0 yr. vs 19.0 yr.) more likely to report drinking 4 to 6 times per week. Women generally had healthier attitudes concerning alcohol consumption, e.g., more likely to try to prevent a friend from dr…
Age, Gender, and Location as Factors in Permission to Smoke among University Students
A sample of 457 (177 men, 280 women) university undergraduates were surveyed on their use of tobacco and locations where smokers have been told not to smoke. 21% of the students (20% of men, 22% of women) surveyed indicated that they smoked. Age differences were noted, with the older men and women more likely to use tobacco than their younger peers. In general, men were more likely than women to be asked not to smoke. The large number of smokers …
Drug Use among University Undergraduate Students
A sample of 457 undergraduate university students were surveyed to assess their current use of illicit drugs. Such information is to be used as a baseline to examine the effectiveness of drug prevention programs designed for this population. Marijuana was the most common illicit drug used among these students, and men were significantly more likely to report use. Age differences were noted; older students (age greater than or equal to 22 yr.) wer…
