Pharmaceutical pollution from health care: A systems-based strategy for mitigating risks to public and environmental health
Human pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in environments around the world, with growing international calls to mitigate the ecological and human health risks posed by these novel entities. Exposure to pharmaceutical pollutants can negatively affect the behaviour, reproduction, and health of wildlife, contributing towards declining ecological health and global biodiversity loss. Pharmaceuticals in the environment are also driving rising lev…
Navigating fragmented services: A gender-based violence (GBV) critical feminist analysis of women’s experiences engaging with health and social supports in three Canadian cities
Findings illuminate critical public health challenges as women navigate fragmented services across multiple and siloed systems not designed to meet their complex needs. There is an urgent need for systemic change to create more integrated, responsive support systems for women experiencing GBV. This includes addressing underlying structures perpetuating gender inequities and violence. Facilitating safe access to holistic services that consider wom…
Chemical speciation of sediment phosphorus in a Ramsar wetland
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient, which at excessive concentrations can cause eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems. In freshwater wetlands, water quality deteriorates under these conditions, often succumbing to algal or duckweed dominance, over the biodiversity of other aquatic vegetation. Freshwater sediment may act as an internal source of legacy bound P that can induce production of algal and duckweed blooms beyond what may be expected …
The Ethics of Financial Incentivization for Health Research Participation Among Sex Workers in a Canadian Context
Research incentivization with sex workers is common, yet limited guidance exists for ethical incentives practice. We undertook a critical qualitative inquiry into how researchers ( n = 17), community services staff ( n = 17), and sex workers participating in research ( n = 53) perceive incentives in a Canadian context. We employed an interpretive thematic approach informed by critical perspectives of relational autonomy for analysis. Four themes …
Gaps in health research related to sex work: An analysis of Canadian health research funding
Public health is tasked with addressing the urgent global priority of promoting the health and human rights of adults engaged in sex work and research is critical to support this endeavor. 'What' is studied, 'how' research is done, and 'who' is centered in this research is reflected in how research funding is allocated. In this article, we interrogate funding allocation for sex work-related health research in Canada. Drawing on critical perspecti…
