Evaluation of a Question Prompt List About Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Prevention After Hypertensive Pregnancy: A Pilot Study
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to pilot test a question prompt list (QPL) about cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction after hypertensive pregnancy (HDP). METHODS: In a prospective cohort study of adult women who had HDP given the QPL before and surveyed after a physician visit, we assessed perceived person-centred care, self-efficacy for self-management, perceived self-management and QPL feasibility. RESULTS: Twenty-three women par…
Environmental Health Attitudes, Practices, and Educational Preferences: A National Survey of Reproductive-Aged Women in Canada
Prenatal exposures to environmental toxicants can adversely affect fetal and child development and lead to increased risk of chronic disease. While regulatory action is essential to reduce sources of environmental toxicants, prenatal care presents an opportunity to educate, mobilize, and support prospective parents to reduce exposures to such hazards. As the first phase of an interdisciplinary research collaboration to inform the development of p…
The determinants of maternal homocysteine in pregnancy: Findings from the Ottawa and Kingston Birth Cohort
Objective: Observational studies have linked elevated homocysteine to vascular conditions. Folate intake has been associated with lower homocysteine concentration, although randomised controlled trials of folic acid supplementation to decrease the incidence of vascular conditions have been inconclusive. We investigated determinants of maternal homocysteine during pregnancy, particularly in a folic acid-fortified population. Design: Data were from…
Risk for cardiovascular disease after pre-eclampsia: Differences in Canadian women and healthcare provider perspectives on knowledge sharing
A research-to-practice gap was identified in a study on knowledge sharing regarding future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with a previous diagnosis of pre-eclampsia (PE) during pregnancy, where 41% of healthcare practitioners did not inform patients of increased risk more than 50% of the time. Employing an empirical, sociological lens, we conducted interviews with women and healthcare providers from the same sample as that study. In…
Serum and red-blood-cell folate demonstrate differential associations with BMI in pregnant women
Objective To examine the association between BMI and folate concentrations in serum and red blood cells (RBC) in pregnant women. Design A cross-sectional comparison of folate concentrations in serum and RBC sampled simultaneously from the same individual. Setting The Ottawa Hospital and Kingston General Hospital, Ontario, Canada. Subjects Pregnant women recruited between 12 and 20 weeks of gestation. Results A total of 869 pregnant women recruite…
Introducing Cultural Studies
A rapidly changing world – in part driven by huge transformations in technology and mobility - means we all encounter shifting cultures, and new cultural and social interactions daily. Powerful forces such as consumption and globalization exert an enormous influence on all walks and levels of life across both space and time. Cultural Studies remains at the vanguard of consideration of these issues. This completely revised second edition of Introd…
H1N1 Influenza Vaccination During Pregnancy and Fetal and Neonatal Outcomes
Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between maternal H1N1 vaccination and fetal and neonatal outcomes among singleton births during the 2009–2010 H1N1 pandemic. Methods. We used a population-based perinatal database in Ontario, Canada, to examine preterm birth (PTB), small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births, 5-minute Apgar score below 7, and fetal death via multivariable regression. We compared outcomes between women who did and did not recei…
Vaccination Patterns in Pregnant Women During the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic: A Population-based Study in Ontario, Canada
The pitfalls of the “add-and-stir” approach to transdisciplinary public health research’
Health researchers increasingly include social scientific disciplines in their research programs, partly as a result of increasing recognition that complex public health issues benefit from a range of research approaches, and partly because funding bodies increasingly require transdisciplinarity. This commentary addresses the role of epistemology in transdisciplinary public health research (TPHR). We discuss two problems with current TPHR. The fi…
