Mental Health and Food Insecurity Among Adult Applicants for Subsidized Housing
Food insecurity and body dissatisfaction in a sample of Canadian adults
Food insecurity may predict poorer body image, which is associated with increased risk of mental health problems. However, minimal attention has been given to the food insecurity-body image link and to factors that may influence this link, such as assigned sex; importantly, females are more likely to experience both food insecurity and body dissatisfaction. The present study used data from the 2017 to 2018 Canadian Community Health Survey ( N = 3…
Understanding midlife single women's care as radical
Single women's lives are important but marginalised. The care that they do is meaningful and can be radical. In this article, we argue that within neoliberal patriarchal capitalism, radical care work is care that emerges from the margins, is self-and-other regarding and envisions change through maintenance and small acts. This definition draws insights from an emerging body of literature that uses the term 'radical care' to explore its potential …
Social Support, Depression and Self-Reported Physical Health in Persons Waiting for Access to Subsidized Housing
Housing is a pervasive determinant of physical and mental health. Studies indicate the importance of social support to the mental and physical health of individuals who are unhoused; however, to date, little is known about this relationship in persons who are housed in unaffordable accommodations. As the demand for subsidized housing continues to increase far beyond sustainable levels in many countries, investigations of the implications of socia…
Created Sick? Well, Not Exactly… Canadian Atheists Report Similar Levels of Impairment and Disability to the Religiously Affiliated
Religion/spirituality (R/S) is positively associated with a variety of health outcomes, although how R/S relates to the likelihood or severity of impairment or disability is understudied. Given the broad salutary effects of R/S, we tested if nonreligious groups (specifically atheists) were more likely to report impairment or were more likely to report greater disability. Using Canadian data (N ≥ 1,000) from the 2015 General Social Survey (Cycle 2…

NB housing study protocol: Investigating the relationship between subsidized housing, mental health, physical health and healthcare use in New Brunswick, Canada
Income and housing are pervasive social determinants of health. Subsidized housing is a prominent affordability mechanism in Canada; however, waitlists are lengthy. Subsidized rents should provide greater access to residual income, which may theoretically improve health outcomes. However, little is known about the health of tenants who wait for and receive subsidized housing. This is especially problematic for New Brunswick, a Canadian province w…
The Death of a Child: Institutional Maintenance of Family Welfare after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in the People's Republic of China
Within the institution of family welfare in the People's Republic of China, the role of the child as future caregiver is so deeply institutionalized as to be almost invisible to policy makers and family members. This article explores institutional responses to the death of a child after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake to demonstrate how this taken-for-grantedness of the child caregiver role has opened up bereaved parents to social risk, and how acto…
Renegotiating Social Risks in the People's Republic of China and Japan
There have been various attempts to capture the direction of welfare provision in Japan and the People's Republic of China (PRC) as a regionally coherent welfare regime, following on from attempts by the welfare regime literature to categorize nation-states by the characteristics of their welfare provision in the West. However, stark differences between the PRC and Japan as regional neighbours, and even within the regions of each country, pose a …
