Social disparities in associations between informal caregiving intensity and mental health: Evidence from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
Moving the needle on equitable health promotion: Reckoning with structure
Work-family interface and mental health inequalities between women and men: A gendered exposure model across Canadian provinces
Work and income instability and retirement financial wellbeing for women and men
Financial wellbeing in retirement is contingent on realizations of financial expectations developed earlier in life and may differ substantially by gender. People's standard of living in retirement is tied to stability in work and income trajectories during working years along with retirement benefits and savings. Women have a greater overall income disadvantage relative to men, including reduced life course labor force exposure that may restrict…
Visualizing Daily Time Use on Housework in Canada: Persistence and Patterns
Housework is a significant part of our daily lives. In this visualization, the authors consider how time spent on housework varies across gender and age throughout the day. Using the nationally representative 2015 Canadian General Social Survey with detailed time diary information, the authors present how women’s and men’s time allocation patterns on housework vary across age groups. The visualization shows that women and older Canadians engaged …
(Re)examining the Canadian Health Care System through an Equity Lens
Puisque 2024 marque autant le 50 e anniversaire d’ Analyse de politiques que le 40 e anniversaire de l'une des lois les plus marquantes du Canada, la Loi canadienne sur la santé, le moment est opportun pour faire le bilan de l'héritage légué par cette dernière dans le système de santé canadien actuel, en ce qui concerne l’équité. Après un examen des concepts d’équité verticale et horizontale, nous montrons que, même si la Loi canadienne sur la sa…
Sex Differences in Healthcare Utilization in Persons Living with Dementia Between 2000 and 2017: A Population-Based Study in Quebec, Canada
Objectives: Describe sex differences in healthcare utilization and mortality in persons with new dementia in Quebec, Canada. Methods: We conducted a repeated cohort study from 2000 to 2017 using health administrative databases. Community-dwelling persons aged 65+ with a new diagnosis of dementia were included. We measured 23 indicators of healthcare use across five care settings: ambulatory care, pharmacological care, acute hospital care, long-te…
Work stressors, work-family conflict, parents’ depressive symptoms and perceived parental concern for their children’s mental health during Covid-19 in Canada: A cross-sectional analysis
This study fills a gap in research on the association between the work-family interface and parental concern for their children's mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the importance of concerted and cohesive action between child health policies and those regarding work and work-family balance to prevent work-related psychosocial risks, particularly considering the post pandemic expanded and persistent reliance on teleworking
Literacy and self-rated health: Analysis of the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults (Lisa)
The relationship between education and health is well-established. The empirical literature finds that individuals with higher levels of education experience lower risks of poor health outcomes compared to individuals with less education. Outstanding to this literature is the examination of a dimension of education - literacy - and its association with health. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between literacy (reading, …
Rating Health and Rating Change: How Canadians Rate Their Health and Its Changes
Objectives: We investigated the contribution of five health domains to self-rated health (SRH) cross-sectionally and longitudinally and whether these contributions differ by gender or age. Methods: Employing dominance analyses, we quantified the contributions of functioning, diseases, pain, mental health, and behavior to both SRH at a point in time and for changes in SRH using data from the Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS, 1994-2…
Neighborhood deprivation and obesity: Sex-specific effects of cross-sectional, cumulative and residential trajectory indicators
Global diffusion of three road safety policies, 1964–2015
Global convergence of public policies has been regarded as a defining feature of the late twentieth century. This study explores the generalizability of this thesis for three road safety measures: (i) road safety agencies; (ii) child restraint laws; and (iii) mandatory use of daytime running lights. This study analyzes cross-national longitudinal data using survival analysis for the years 1964–2015 in 181 countries. The first main finding is that…
Adapting care provision and advocating for unprotected unaccompanied minors in Paris in the context of Covid-19
Unaccompanied minors (UMs) are children under 18 who arrive on the territory of a foreign country without the care of a guardian. In many countries their access to social and health care services depends on their legal recognition as minors. For instance, in France, high rejection rates of minor status place unprotected UMs in social precarity, such that in Paris, civil society organizations (CSOs) have stepped in to offer social, medical, and ps…

Comment favoriser la communication thérapeutique avec une population vulnérable: Des approches et des outils pour les professionnels prenant en charge les mineurs non accompagnés
En France, les mineurs non accompagnés ( mna ) rencontrent de multiples obstacles qui peuvent avoir des effets négatifs sur leur santé mentale. Les professionnels de la santé et du social qui participent à leur prise en charge doivent développer et mettre en œuvre des approches et outils adaptés aux réalités des mna et qui leur offrent un espace d’interactions le plus ouvert possible. À partir d’une revue de littérature, nous proposons dans cet a…
Gender variations in the relationship between social capital and mental health outcomes among the Indigenous populations of Canada
The results of this paper address a critical gap in the literature on gender differences in SRMH and HED among the Indigenous populations of Canada, and reveal gendered variations in the relationship between social capital and SRMH and HED. These findings support further investigation into the role that social capital and particularly Indigenous-specific forms of social capital may play as a determinant of health. This research could contribute t…

Improving Accessibility to Services and Increasing Efficiency Through Merger and Centralization in Québec
On 25 September 2014, Bill 10 was tabled to reorganize Qubec's health and social services network through the abolition of an administrative layer at the regional health authority level and institutional mergers of health and social services facilities under a new governance structure. Thus, the province's 182 health and social services facilities were merged into 34 Centre intgr de sant et des services sociaux (CISSS) / Centre intgr universitair…

Policies and Health Inequalities: State of the Field and Future Directions
In contrast to inequalities in health that stem from biological differences brought about by age or genetics, social inequalities in health are mutable and avoidable as they are affected by public policies. In recognition of the importance of these social influences on population health and inequalities, the World Health Organization adopted, in 2012, resolution WHA62.14 endorsing the Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health. Wi…
Les disparités d'accès aux soins de santé parmi la minorité de langue officielle au Québec
Cette étude examine l'effet de l'aptitude en français sur la santé et sur les besoins de soins de santé non satisfaits au Québec, en utilisant un modèle multiple de régression logistique. Nos résultats indiquent que les anglophones unilingues du Québec sont 26 % plus susceptibles que les anglophones bilingues à se déclarer en mauvaise santé. Théoriquement, ce mauvais état de santé devrait mener à une utilisation accrue des soins de santé. Cependa…
A Non-Parametric Approach to Selection Bias: Examining the Organizational Effect of Family Medicine Groups on Access to Primary Care Among Diabetics in Quebec
Introduction Within Canada, Quebecers experience the greatest barriers in accessing primary care with over 25% of the population without a regular family physician and the highest rate of emergency department (ED) use. Family Medicine Groups (FMGs) were introduced in 2002 to provide greater access to care, namely for individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes. Some key characteristics of the FMG organizational reform are: (1) it is base…

Welfare regimes, population health and health inequalities: A research synthesis
BACKGROUND: Research on the social determinants of health is increasingly using welfare regime theory. Although a key argument is that population health will be better and health inequalities lower in social democratic regimes than in others, this research has not been subjected to a systematic review. This paper identifies and assesses empirical studies that explicitly use a welfare regime typology in comparative health research. METHODS: 15 ele…
Socio-geographic mobility and health status: A longitudinal analysis using the National Population Health Survey of Canada
The paper reviews arguments that associations between small area socio-economic conditions and individual health are likely to vary according to the type of health condition considered. We comment on the importance of longitudinal research to examine how far area conditions predict later health outcomes, and also how far area variations in health may result from selective migration processes predicted by health status. Using data for 1996 and 200…

Access to health‐care in Canadian immigrants: A longitudinal study of the National Population Health Survey
Immigrants often lose their health advantage as they start adapting to the ways of the new society. Having access to care when it is needed is one way that individuals can maintain their health. We assessed the healthcare access in Canadian immigrants and the socioeconomic factors associated with access over a 12-year period. We compared two measures of healthcare access (having a regular doctor and reporting an unmet healthcare need in the past …

Is it Really Worse to Have Public Health Insurance Than to Have No Insurance at All? Health Insurance and Adult Health in the United States
Using prospective cohort data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study examines the extent to which health insurance coverage and the source of that coverage affect adult health. While previous research has shown that privately insured nonelderly individuals enjoy better health outcomes than their uninsured counterparts, the same relationship does not hold for those publicly insured through programs such as Medicaid. Becaus…

Les inégalités sociales de santé au Québec
Partout dans le monde, on constate non seulement la persistance, mais bien le creusement des inégalités en matière de santé. Le Québec ne fait pas exception : on a estimé qu'environ cinq ans d'espérance de vie et près de quinze années de vie en bonne santé y séparent les populations les plus défavorisées des groupes les plus avantagés. Cet écart ne s'explique qu'en partie par l'inégale répartition des ressources matérielles. Les causes sont à l'é…
Differences between women’s and men’s socioeconomic inequalities in health: Longitudinal analysis of the Canadian population, 1994–2003
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic inequalities in health are ubiquitous in developed countries; however, whether these inequalities differ between women and men over time is less clear. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the potentially different health effects of changes in socioeconomic position (SEP) on changes in health for working-age women and men over a 10-year period. Three main questions were addressed: (1) are there health differences between women and men…

Income and economic exclusion: Do they measure the same concept
We explicitly distinguish, both conceptually and empirically, between income and economic exclusion, one of the main dimensions of social exclusion. Our results suggest that the economic exclusion index we use measures additional aspects of material deprivation that are not captured by income, such as the effective hardship or level of economic 'well-being
