Fostering Social Participation in Older Adults at Risk of Social Exclusion: Importance of Community Interventions Implemented in the Neighborhoods’ Heart
This study aimed to describe and explore how three interventions (coffee-meetings, art workshops, guided library tours) could foster the social participation of older adults at risk of social exclusion in a revitalizing city. Using action research, the interventions were experimented in spring 2024 in Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada), with 20 older adults (71 ± 4.5; 16 women). Four focus groups involving all older participants and individual telephone…
Socio-spatial inequalities in alcohol outlet availability: Evidence from register data in 15 urban areas in Québec, Canada
Alcohol availability differed by outlet type and disadvantage dimension. Offsite outlets were more common in both highly and minimally materially disadvantaged areas, while onsite outlets were more common in minimally disadvantaged areas. Socially disadvantaged areas had higher availability of both types of outlets. These findings suggest the need for targeted policies to reduce alcohol outlet availability, particularly in socially disadvantaged …
Gentrification and mental health inequities: A scoping review
The association between gentrification and general health has been established in the scientific literature. Less is known about the relationship between gentrification and mental health at a population level, and for specific subgroups. This scoping review aimed to document (1) the relationships between gentrification and mental health in the general population, and among specific social groups, and (2) the mechanisms which might explain why gen…
Developing community resilience in the face of Covid-19: Case study from the Estrie region, Canada
The COVID-19 pandemic undeniably impacted population health and several aspects of community organization, including service delivery and social cohesion. Intersectoral collaboration and equity, two key dimensions of community resilience, proved central to an effective and equitable response to the pandemic. Yet the factors that enabled or constrained communities’ capacity to enact intersectoral collaboration and equity-focused action in such tim…
Supporting Women Exit Sex Work: A Contribution Analysis of the Exit Doors Here Integrated Care Program in Toronto, Canada
This rigorous theory-based evaluation provides much needed evidence on the process and effectiveness of an integrated sex work exiting program. Findings regarding key program ingredients can inform other interventions serving similarly marginalized populations
Is alcohol outlet availability associated with binge drinking in Canadian young adults? Findings from British Columbia and Quebec
Change in childbearing intention, use of contraception, unwanted pregnancies, and related adverse events during the Covid-19 pandemic: Results from a panel study in rural Burkina Faso
Evidence on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected women’s reproductive health remains scarce, particularly for low- and middle-income countries. Deleterious indirect effects seem likely, particularly on access to contraception and risk of unwanted pregnancies, but rigorous evaluations using quasi-experimental designs are lacking. Taking a diachronic perspective, we aimed to investigate the effects of the pandemic on four indicators of women’s re…

In-situ at a distance? challenges and opportunities for health and place research methods in a post-Covid-19 world
L'évolution des espaces d’activité lors de la transition vers l’âge adulte (Montréal, Canada)
Lors de la transition vers l’âge adulte, les parcours scolaires, professionnels, familiaux et conjugaux se conforment de moins en moins à un modèle commun. Cette non-linéarité des parcours de vie est largement étudiée dans les travaux récents mobilisant le concept de life course, mais elle n’est guère mise en relation avec les pratiques spatiales et l’évolution des espaces d’activité. À partir d’un corpus de données mixtes issues de la cohorte IS…
Is accessibility in the eye of the beholder? Social inequalities in spatial accessibility to health-related resources in Montréal, Canada
Food environment, income and obesity: A multilevel analysis of a reality of women in Southern Brazil
The objective of this study was to explore relationships between the neighborhood food environment and obesity in urban women living in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. A cross-sectional survey was carried out. This study was conducted with 1,096 women. Structured interviews were conducted using a standard pre-tested questionnaire. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30kg/m2. Circular buffers of 400m in radius were create…

Objective To examine associations between availability of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores in the home and school neighbourhoods, considered separately and together, and adolescents’ fast-food and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intakes. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting East London, UK. Subjects Adolescents ( n 3089; aged 13–15 years) from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) Study self-reported their week…

Ethical implications of location and accelerometer measurement in health research studies with mobile sensing devices
The added value of accounting for activity space when examining the association between tobacco retailer availability and smoking among young adults
This study adds to the sparse literature on contextual correlates of smoking among young adults, and illustrates the added value of considering individuals' activity space in contextual studies of smoking

Neighbourhood crime and smoking: The role of objective and perceived crime measures
Our findings highlight the relevance of paying attention to both objective and perceived neighbourhood crime measures when aiming to prevent smoking
Challenges to interdisciplinary training for junior space, place and health researchers
The complexity of research questions posed in space, place and health research has led some researchers to suggest that these questions cannot be addressed adequately through a single research discipline. The objective of this article is two-fold. First, we argue that junior researchers face distinct challenges in learning how to conduct interdisciplinary research. Second, we outline how a unique training experience, the Canadian Institutes of He…
