Protected area downgrading, downsizing, and degazettement (PADDD) in marine protected areas
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are foundational to global marine biodiversity conservation efforts. Recently, countries have rapidly scaled up their MPA networks to meet targets established by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). While MPA networks are intended to permanently safeguard marine ecosystems, evidence points to widespread legal changes that temper, reduce, or eliminate protected areas, known as protected area downgrading, down…
Embedded research to advance primary health care
Realising renewed efforts to accelerate progress towards universal health coverage, manage health emergencies and create healthier populations requires integrated action on system-wide challenges. One of the best ways to do this is to focus on primary health care (PHC). Advancing PHC needs the support of a robust learning agenda—encompassing questions on how to improve both essential and emergency services, engage and empower communities and addr…
‘There’s nothing you can do … it’s like that in Chinatown’
Objectives: Chinese American women living in linguistically isolated communities are among the least likely to utilize healthcare services. Qualitative research methods can help identify health system vulnerability points to improve local healthcare delivery for this population. Design: We conducted 6 focus groups among 56 Chinese-speaking adult women in Chicago's Chinatown between July and August 2014 to explore their perceptions of experiences …

Chinese Immigrant Women's Attitudes and Beliefs About Family Involvement in Women's Health and Healthcare
Purpose: Healthcare utilization and health-seeking behaviors of Chinese American immigrant women may be influenced by longstanding cultural perspectives of family roles and relationships. An understanding of Chinese immigrant women's perceptions of family social support in health and how these beliefs manifest in healthcare utilization and help-seeking behaviors is critical to the development of culturally appropriate health interventions. Focusi…
Advancing community-based research in Canada

The International Health Partnership Plus
BACKGROUND: The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, which provides an international agreement on how to deliver aid, has recently been reviewed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Health sector aid effectiveness is important, given the volume of financial aid and the number of mechanisms through which health assistance is provided. Recognizing this, the international community created the International Health…

The geographic variation of cancer incidence in Ontario
OBJECTIVES. Our objectives were (1) to describe an analysis of the spatial pattern of cancer incidence in Ontario and (2) to discuss the quality of data in the Ontario Cancer Registry with respect to the accuracy of local cancer rates. METHODS. Cancer incidence rates were calculated for 22 cancer sites in 49 counties of Ontario during 1976 to 1986. Capture-recapture methods were used to estimate completeness of case registration, and completeness…

External Effects of Mental Health Facilities∗
Analysis of a 1,090-household survey in metropolitan Toronto, Ontario, shows that community mental health facilities generate externality fields that include such effects as fears of the negative impact on property values, traffic volumes, and residential satisfaction. There are also strongly neutral respondents who do not anticipate any impact on their neighborhoods. The spatial extent of the externality effect of mental health facilities appear…
The Family Life Cycle, Leisure Activities, and Residential Area Evaluation
Life cycle effects on the importance assigned to residential area attributes are examined empirically. The family life cycle is hypothesized to affect residential area aspirations through changes in the frequency and location of leisure activities. The results indicate that the importance of eight residential area attributes varies significantly with life cycle status. The family life cycle also affects participation in leisure activities. Howeve…
Personal Construct Theory and Residential Choice
Personal construct theory is a cognitive theory of personality that provides a theoretical and methodological framework for examining four major research issues in the behavioral approach to residential choice. The theory elucidates the content and structure of residential cognition at the level of the individual. The family life cycle influences cognition, but residential experience is not related. The evidence shows that knowledge of cognition …

The Housing Experience of Chronically Mentally Disabled Clients in Hamilton, Ontario
The chronically mentally disabled (CMD) are seriously disadvantaged in the housing market by reason of disability and low socio‐economic status. In many North American cities, the CMD are among the groups most vulnerable to homeiessness. Little attention has been paid to the housing situation and residential history of the CMD despite their supposed effects on coping ability and community tenure. This analysis of the residential experience of CMD…

Property Values and Mental Health Facilities in Metropolitan Toronto
Property value data reveal that markets in the vicinity of five mental health facilities in Toronto are essentially identical to those in control areas. The volume of sales activity and the sale price of transactions are generally comparable. The most important influences on sale price are the characteristics of the property itself. Controlling for these characteristics, the presence of a facility has a weak effect on sale price. Distance from fa…
Attitudes toward the mentally ill and reactions to mental health facilities
Personal Dispositions and Human Spatial Behavior
This paper examines the potential of personal dispositions as predictive and explanatory variables in the analysis of human spatial behavior. Personal dispositions are environment-related personality traits underlying attitudes and behavior in the everyday physical environment. Previous research has focused on general environmental dispositions. Dispositions of narrower range can be identified and measured when investigating the personal characte…

Factors Affecting Response to Road Noise
Investigation of the factors affecting individual response to noise provides an improved basis for the selection and implementation of noise impact reduction policies. This investigation is necessary because the cause and effect relationship between the level of noise exposure and noise response is confounded by personal and situational variables. Examination of the effects of these variables on response to road traffic noise with the use of data…
Housing Type and Tenure Effects on Reactions to Road Traffic Noise
The reactions of different residents to the same level of noise have been assumed to vary depending upon their type of housing and tenure status. However, no empirical evidence has been presented to support this assumption. The analysis described in this paper tests the separate and joint effects of housing type and tenure on various reactions to road traffic noise, with the use of questionnaire data and noise measurements collected at residentia…

Scaling Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill
The measurement of public attitudes toward the mentally ill has taken on new significance since the introduction of community-based mental health care. Previous attitude scales have been constructed and applied primarily in a professional context. This article discusses the development and application of a new set of four scales explicitly designed to measure community attitudes toward the mentally ill. The scales represent dimensions included in…

A Causal Model of Attitudes toward Mental Health Facilities
Nonuser responses to community facilities are recognised as among the most important factors determining the success or failure of community-based systems of service delivery. A causal model of individual attitudes to community mental health care is defined and tested with survey data collected in Toronto, Ontario. The results from a path analysis show the strong antecedent influence of attitudes toward facility users and of perceived impacts of …
