Intergenerational transfer of occupational risks on family farms
BACKGROUND: Cultures of safety in farm work settings are under the authority of a responsible owner-operator, who establishes rules, attitudes, and behaviors for farm work practices. This novel analysis provides new evidence to show that risks that can lead to injury and are commonly practiced on Canadian farms are indeed transferred between generations. METHODS: Baseline data were provided by representatives from eligible and consenting farms (n…
The Association Between Fitness Test Scores and Musculoskeletal Injury in Police Officers
A police officer's career is hazardous and physically demanding. In order to perform occupational tasks effectively and without injury, officers require adequate physical abilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between scores on several fitness tests and musculoskeletal injury in a group of municipal police officers. This retrospective study used existing data to examine the relationship between risk of injury and fit…
The built environment and active transportation safety in children and youth
This program of research will identify the built environment associated with active transportation safety and form an evidence base from which municipalities can draw information to support change. Our team's national scope will be invaluable in providing information regarding the variability in built environment characteristics and is vital to producing evidence-based recommendations that will increase safe active transportation
The epidemiology of fatal cyclist crashes over a 14-year period in Alberta, Canada
Fatal cycling crashes in Alberta typically involve adults riding on urban roads and collisions with motor vehicles. While helmet legislation has reduced non-fatal cycling head injuries, deaths may be further prevented by physical separation of cyclists and motor vehicles and avoidance of substance use while operating bicycles
Socioeconomic Status and Injury in a Cohort of Saskatchewan Farmers
PURPOSE: To estimate the strength of relationships between socioeconomic status and injury in a large Canadian farm population. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 4,769 people from 2,043 farms in Saskatchewan, Canada. Participants reported socioeconomic exposures in 2007 and were followed for the occurrence of injury through 2009 (27 months). The relative hazards of time to first injury according to baseline socioeconomic status …
Medical illness, medication use and suicide in seniors
BACKGROUND: Suicide among seniors is a significant health problem in north America, particularly for men in whom the rates rise steadily after 50 years of age. The goal of this study was to examine elder suicides identified from a large population-based database using case-control methods to determine disease and medication factors related to suicide. METHODS: A population-based 1 : 5 case-control study was conducted comparing seniors aged 66 yea…
