Rethinking the feminization of agriculture through translocality
Male out-migration from rural areas shifts intra-household relations, with consequences for gendered power dynamics. Left behind women in rural migrant-sending communities are assumed to take on greater roles in agricultural production, a process known as the feminization of agriculture. As migrants and non-migrants become more closely linked through socio-spatial interconnections that transcend place, there is a need to understand how and why th…
Living the Methodology
Participatory action research (PAR) is increasingly being used in healthcare research, especially in nursing. PAR offers the opportunity to disrupt power hierarchies and produce transformative knowledge that meets the needs of the participants. Engaging in this process of democratization of knowledge production is appealing and yet, the experience is often complex and messy. Often the backstage political processes of PAR are not shared, despite t…
A system dynamics approach for examining the health implications of male out-migration on non-migrating household members in the Western Highlands of Guatemala
The departure of men and boys from rural communities significantly affects the lives of those "left behind". Drawing on qualitative data from a rural community in the Western Highlands of Guatemala and guided by a systems thinking approach, the objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the multifaceted health determinants, risks, outcomes, and impacts associated with male out-migration for non-migrating household members; and 2) to apply a cau…
Examining intersectoral collaboration among community health workers providing integrated maternal-child health and social care in resource-constrained settings in the Philippines
Background: Reducing maternal-child health disparities in resource-constrained communities requires meaningful collaboration between different sectors to deliver integrated care. Community health workers (CHWs) are uniquely positioned within their communities, typically as volunteers, to act as an intersectoral bridge and catalyst for collaborative efforts to improve maternal and child health and care outcomes. While CHWs are widely recognized as…
Wild fish consumption and latitude as drivers of vitamin D status among Inuit living in Nunavik, northern Québec
Objective: To measure vitamin D status and estimate factors associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in Nunavimmiut (Inuit living in Nunavik) adults in 2017. Design: Data were from Qanuilirpitaa ? 2017 Nunavik Inuit Health Survey, a cross-sectional study conducted in August–October 2017. Participants underwent a questionnaire, including an FFQ, and blood samples were analysed for total serum 25(OH)D. Setting: Nunavik, northern Québec, …
Vaccine efficacy against Sars-CoV-2 for Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca vaccines
The purpose of this systematic review was to report on the vaccine efficacy (VE) of three SARS-CoV-2 vaccines approved by Health Canada: Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. Four databases were searched for primary publications on population-level VE. Ninety-two publications matched the inclusion criteria, and the extracted data were separated by vaccine type: mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) and the AstraZeneca vaccine. The median VE for…
“Moving from understanding to action on food security in Inuit Nunangat”
This Commentary details key challenges and opportunities relating to the promotion of food security in Inuit Nunangat, discussed as part of the event “Moving from understanding to action on food security in Inuit Nunangat”, convened at the ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting on 5th December 2022 in Toronto. The purpose of the event was to explore opportunities for action on food security in northern communities, and to mobilize knowledge on curre…
Structure and function of the western Baffin Bay coastal and shelf ecosystem
Arctic marine species, from benthos to fish and mammals, are essential for food security and sovereignty of Inuit people. Inuit food security is dependent on the availability, accessibility, quality, and sustainability of country food resources. However, climate change effects are threatening Inuit food systems through changes in abundance and nutritional quality of locally harvested species, while foundational knowledge of Arctic food webs remai…
Cash Economy and Store-Bought Food Biases in Food Security Assessments of Inuit Nunangat
Researchers, community organisations, and Inuit leaders increasingly question the suitability of methods to assess the prevalence of food insecurity in Inuit Nunangat (the Inuit homeland in Canada). Of particular contention is the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM), applied in modified form as part of Health Canada’s nationwide Canadian Community Health (CCHS) and Aboriginal Peoples Surv…
Limits to Transformational Potential
Despite serving as the Philippines’ main social protection strategy, debate continues surrounding the ability of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to meet its long-term goal of breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty. To engage with this debate, this study brings together the constructs of entitlement and agency to analyse how different actors associated with 4Ps understand and experience the program. Drawing on forty-three semi-…
Sociodemographic patterning of dietary profiles among Inuit youth and adults in Nunavik, Canada
We were able to identify distinct dietary profiles with strong social patterning. The profiles elucidated in this study are aligned with the impact of colonial influence on diet and subsequent country food promotion programs for Inuit youth. These profiles will be used for further study of nutritional status, contaminant exposure, and health to provide context for future public health programs
Drivers and health implications of the dietary transition among Inuit in the Canadian Arctic
Objective: The current study undertook a systematic scoping review on the drivers and implications of dietary changes among Inuit in the Canadian Arctic. Design: A keyword search of peer-reviewed articles was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database and High North Research Documents. Eligibility criteria included all full-text articles of any design reporting on research on…
The Retail Food Sector and Indigenous Peoples in High-Income Countries
Indigenous Peoples in high-income countries experience higher burdens of food insecurity, obesity, and diet-related health conditions compared to national averages. The objective of this systematic scoping review is to synthesize information from the published literature on the methods/approaches, findings, and scope for research and interventions on the retail food sector servicing Indigenous Peoples in high-income countries. A structured litera…
Socio-demographic patterning of the individual-level double burden of malnutrition in a rural population in South India
This study determined the prevalence and factors associated with individual-level double burden of malnutrition. Women in rural regions of India may be particularly vulnerable to individual-level double burden of malnutrition and should be a target population for any nutrition interventions to address simultaneous over- and undernutrition
Anemia, iron status, and associated protective and risk factors among children and adolescents aged 3 to 19 years old from four First Nations communities in Quebec
Interventions fostering healthier food environments as well as higher consumption of traditional meats and foods naturally rich in vitamin C, which is known to enhance iron absorption, and fighting inflammation could contribute to decrease the high prevalence of anemia and ID in this young Indigenous population
Determinants of internal migrant health and the healthy migrant effect in South India
BACKGROUND: Internal labour migration is an important and necessary livelihood strategy for millions of individuals and households in India. However, the precarious position of migrant workers within Indian society may have consequences for the health of these individuals. Previous research on the connections between health and labour mobility within India have primarily focused on the negative health outcomes associated with this practice. Thus,…

Decoding the Type 2 Diabetes Epidemic in Rural India
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an escalating public health problem in India, associated with genetic susceptibility, dietary shift, and rapid lifestyle changes. Historically a disease of the urban elite, quantitative studies have recently confirmed rising prevalence rates among marginalized populations in rural India. To analyze the role of cultural and sociopolitical factors in diabetes onset and management, we employed in-depth interviews and focu…
