Cost Adjustment Factor
There is evidence that providing services in remote communities is more expensive than in non-remote ones. Existing methods for adjusting funding to account for these costs have various limitations. This article documents the development of a new methodology from Indigenous Services Canada for estimating the additional costs due to the impact of remoteness, for program funding and budgetary considerations.* The “Cost Adjustment Factor” is a gener…
Measures of Remoteness
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) is examining options to offset the costs of remoteness for First Nations and provide a rationale for additional funding for remote communities. This article presents best practices for building a measure of remoteness as well as an analysis of measures of remoteness used in Canada and in Australia. An evaluation of the various measures of remoteness against the best practices determined that the Index of Remotenes…
Immigration, ethnicity, and avoidable mortality in Canada, 1991–2006
Immigrants overall and the selected ethnicities enjoy an advantage over nonimmigrants in avoidable mortality. However, for certain causes of death especially ischemic heart disease mortality among South Asian women, immigrants appeared worse-off than nonimmigrants. The results suggest differential access to and use of health services, differences in protective health-related behavior, and the healthy immigrant effect
Neighbourhood immigrant concentration and hospitalization
Differences between immigrants at various durations of residence and host population in all-cause mortality, Canada 1991-2006
We used data from the 1991-2006 Canadian Census Mortality and Cancer Follow-up Study to compare all-cause mortality for immigrants with that of the Canadian-born population. The study addressed two related questions. First, do immigrants have a mortality advantage over the Canadian-born? Second, if immigrants have a mortality advantage, does it persist as their duration of residence increases? The analysis fitted sex-stratified hazard regression …
Immigration, Generation and Self-rated Health in Canada
Neighbourhood characteristics, individual attributes and self-rated health among older Canadians
Rural–Urban Migration and Cross-National Variation in Infant Mortality in Less Developed Countries
Correlated mortality risks of siblings in Kenya
Random-effect models have been useful in demonstrating how unobserved factors are related to infant or child death clustering. Another potential hypothesis is state dependence whereby the death of an older sibling affects the risk of death of a subsequ
Hiv/Aids Knowledge, Women’s Education, Epidemic Severity and Protective Sexual Behaviour in Low- And Middle-Income Countries
A fundamental public health strategy to reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS is to increase levels of awareness and knowledge about the disease. Although knowledge about HIV/AIDS and protective sexual behaviour are linked theoretically, relatively little is known about their empirical relationship. Using Demographic and Health Survey data from 23 low- and middle-income countries, this study used multilevel logistic regression models: to examine cross-nati…
Determinants of infant and child mortality in Kenya
Family Structure and Child Mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study applies multilevel logistic regression to Demographic and Health Survey data from 22 sub-Saharan African countries to examine whether the relationship between child mortality and family structure, with a specific emphasis on polygyny, varies cross-nationally and over time. Hypotheses were developed on the basis of competing theories on the relationship between child health and family structure. Although children of mothers in polygynou…
Women’s Educational Attainment and Intergenerational Patterns of Fertility Behaviour in Kenya
There is a strong theoretical and empirical relationship between educational attainment and fertility behaviour. However, a fundamental issue that has largely been neglected is the change in this relationship across cohorts resulting from differential improvement in educational opportunities for women over time and how it relates to fertility transition. Utilizing the 1998 DHS data from Kenya this study examines the differential effect of educati…
