Correlates of changes in children's independent mobility during the Covid-19 pandemic: A Canadian national longitudinal study
Children's independent mobility (CIM) is linked to higher physical activity in cross-sectional research, but longitudinal assessments of correlates of changes in CIM are lacking. We investigated social-ecological correlates of changes in CIM during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether they differ by gender. Every six months between December 2020 and 2021, we surveyed Canadian parents of 7- to 12-year-olds ( n = 2291) to assess mobility licenses (chi…
Stranger danger or good Samaritan? A cross-sectional study examining correlates of tolerance of risk in outdoor play among Canadian parents
Tailored interventions that reframe perceptions of risk for parents are needed. Such interventions could reframe concerns about stranger danger which persist despite occurrences of stranger abduction being extremely rare. Interventions could also be targeted to immigrant families and those with fewer children as they appear to be more averse to risk. A complementary focus on examining how cultural background influences risk perceptions is needed …
Identification of distinct physical activity profiles through adolescence: A longitudinal qualitative description study
Introduction We aimed to better understand longitudinal physical activity experiences among initially active adolescents and to identify and describe distinct physical activity profiles. Methods A sample of 23 physically active participants [52% female; mean age = 12.2 (0.6) years at study inception] were selected from the MATCH study to take part in this nested qualitative descriptive study. Participants were interviewed once a year for six year…

Parent-Perceived Changes in Active Transportation and Independent Mobility among Canadian Children in Relation to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Results from Two National Surveys
Children's active transportation (AT) and independent mobility (IM) can provide benefits for health and social development. Using data from two national surveys, we assessed parent-perceived changes in AT and IM among 5- to 17-year-olds in Canada since the outbreak of COVID-19. About half of parents reported no changes, but two to three times more parents reported declines compared to increases in AT and IM. We explored many potential correlates …
Trajectories of beverage consumption during adolescence
Beverages contribute substantially to daily energy and nutrient intakes. However, little is known about the co-development of beverage consumption throughout adolescence. This study aimed to investigate the presence of naturally occurring sub-groups of girls and boys following distinct trajectories of various types of beverage consumption (i.e. sugary beverages, tea and coffee, water, and milk) throughout adolescence. During the Monitoring Activi…

Empirical Support for the Tenets of Sport Participation and Physical Activity-Based Models: A Scoping Review
Notwithstanding their wide-spread use, it is unclear what level of empirical evidence exists to support sport participation and physical activity-based models. Sport participation and physical activity-based models characterize different stages of sport involvement based on sport activities (organized and unorganized) individuals take part in throughout their lifespan. The objectives of this scoping review was to explore the nature of empirical s…

Monitoring activities of teenagers to comprehend their habits: Study protocol for a mixed-methods cohort study
MATCH will provide a description of the patterns of participation in specific physical activities in youth, and enable identification of the determinants of maintenance, decline, and uptake of participation in each activity. These data will inform the development of interventions that take into account which activities are the most likely to be maintained and why activities are maintained or dropped

L'intervention interculturelle: Une recherche de sens et un travail du sens
Pour l'intervenante sociale au Québec, il existe désormais une réalité incontournable : l'hétérogénéité culturelle de la population. La prise de conscience de cette réalité tend à se généraliser dans le discours et dans les préoccupations des intervenantes. S'étant cantonnée dans l'interethnique, l'intervention interculturelle s'est toutefois centrée sur la variabilité des pratiques et des coutumes, qu'elle a liée à l'existence de systèmes de val…
Les rites de la médecine traditionnelle bambara et le traitement de la « folie » jinèbana: L’esprit jinè, acteur de la continuité du sens
Jinèbana, c'est une forme de « folie » identifiée par les guérisseurs bambara ; cela veut dire littéralement en langue bamanan : la maladie donnée par un jinè, un esprit. La médecine traditionnelle bambara reconnaît au moins trois autres variétés de « folie », mais entre toutes, c'est jinèbana qui suscite le plus d'appréhensions. À travers le cas d'un jeune bambara de 19 ans, cet article vise à décrire la trajectoire suivie par des guérisseurs tr…
