Indigenous Laughter in Sacred Ritual: Semana Santa Among the Rarámuri of Northern Mexico
Starting in 1987, the author attended and participated in Semana Santa (Easter Week) ritual celebrations in the Rarámuri (Tarahumara) community of Sojawachi in Northern Mexico over a span of ten years. This article discusses the author’s experiences in these celebrations and reflects on Rarámuri history. The Rarámuri Indigenous people, who have occupied a sizable area of Northern Mexico for some two thousand years, have faced, over the past four …
Wiinaadmowing Etchi Piitzijig Enda’aat: Helping Elders Where They Live
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic limited socializing and connecting, impacting the ability of Elders to pass on guidance and leadership through culturally specific ways. Community-level supports are vital for older adults living in First Nation communities, particularly supports that are inclusive, accessible, private, and confidential, and those that promote visiting, connecting, and culture, offer opportunities for outings, and use many av…
Exploring the relationships between nutrition and brain health among Indigenous Peoples in North America: A systematic review
Cultural and contextual relevance of the Indigenous data in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging
We use this community consultation process to provide recommendations for the appropriate use of the Indigenous-identified data in the CLSA, and we conclude by recommending great caution when using the data from the Indigenous subsample in the CLSA data
Colonial drivers and cultural protectors of brain health among Indigenous peoples internationally
Despite relatively higher rates of dementia among Indigenous populations internationally, research into drivers of disparities in brain health and cognitive function has tended to focus on modifiable risk factors over cultural understandings and contextual determinants. By seeking to characterize social and cultural factors that shape brain health and cognition in Indigenous populations, this mini scoping review expands prevailing schools of thou…
Aligning policy and practice to implement Care with Fair through Indigenous Peoples’ protocols
Incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion into the epidemiology and biostatistics curriculum: A workshop report and implementation strategies recommendations
Indigenous-specific cultural safety within health and dementia care: A scoping review of reviews
Globally, health inequities experienced by Indigenous communities are often described and documented in terms of deficits and disease. However, health disparities are complex and involve numerous underlying issues beyond the social determinants of health. Indigenous Peoples face unique barriers to accessing culturally safe and equitable healthcare, including racism, systemic injustice, and a historical legacy of colonialism. There is a paucity of…
Wellness in the Face of Frailty Among Older Adults in First Nations Communities
Our findings provide a profile of strength and wellness among older First Nations adults living with frailty
Therapist Interruptions: An Examination of Gender and Therapeutic Alliance in Couple Therapy
Alliance is an important predictor of therapy outcomes, and studies examining in-therapy processes that contribute to alliance are needed. This study examines the relationship between interruptions and therapeutic alliance in couple therapy. First sessions of couple therapy from a university-based clinic were coded to examine the frequency of interruptions in therapy. Interruption frequency, interruption target, and subsequent measures of therape…
Places of death and places of care for Indigenous Peoples in Ontario: A retrospective cohort study
The Care Principles for Indigenous Data Governance
Concerns about secondary use of data and limited opportunities for benefit-sharing have focused attention on the tension that Indigenous communities feel between (1) protecting Indigenous rights and interests in Indigenous data (including traditional knowledges) and (2) supporting open data, machine learning, broad data sharing, and big data initiatives. The International Indigenous Data Sovereignty Interest Group (within the Research Data Allian…
First Nations’ Survivance and Sovereignty in Canada during a Time of Covid-19
First Nations people in Canada have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate persistent and resilient cultural, linguistic, and traditional endurance: survivance. The devastation resulting from centuries of health pandemics such as smallpox, influenza, cholera, tuberculosis, measles, and scarlet fever reinforce the ongoing resilience of First Nations people, cultures, and traditions in Canada. Despite the history of pandemic-related trauma and a …
Applications of Two-Eyed Seeing in Primary Research Focused on Indigenous Health: A Scoping Review
Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall coined “Two-Eyed Seeing” in 2004, an Indigenous concept that emphasizes integrating the strengths of multiple perspectives to address complex challenges in ways that benefit all. In 2011, Two-Eyed Seeing became a policy of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)–Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health, as a part of its 5-year plan, and in 2012, CIHR funding was directed toward supporting efforts that apply …
Respiration of aged soil carbon during fall in permafrost peatlands enhanced by active layer deepening following wildfire but limited following thermokarst
Permafrost peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) that may be vulnerable to climate change. Permafrost thaw exposes deeper, older SOC to microbial activity, but SOC vulnerability to mineralization and release as carbon dioxide is likely influenced by the soil environmental conditions that follow thaw. Permafrost thaw in peat plateaus, the dominant type of permafrost peatlands in North America, occurs both throug…
It is written all over your face: Socially rejected people display microexpressions that are detectable after training in the Micro Expression Training Tool (Mett)
Social rejection is a powerful negative emotional experience, yet rejected people often appear stoic and unmoved. That is, their macroexpressions of emotion are not accurate reflections of their emotional states. Yet, there is reason to believe that rejected people exhibit involuntary microexpressions of negative emotion. We contrasted people's macroexpressions of emotion with their microexpressions subsequent to an acceptance or rejection experi…

The Emergence of Dementia as a Health Concern Among First Nations Populations in Alberta, Canada
Maximising retention in a longitudinal study of genital Chlamydia trachomatis among young women in Australia
The methods used were considered effective for recruiting and retaining women in the study. Further research is needed to improve participation from less well-educated women
Care transitions for older patients with musculoskeletal disorders: Continuity from the providers’ perspective
Medical complexity enlarges the circle of care which challenges care continuity. There may be fundamental elements which, regardless of care setting, strengthen transitional care quality. Standardized transitional care processes might help to offset informational discontinuity across care settings as a result of this population's larger circles of care
Incentive payments to general practitioners aimed at increasing opportunistic testing of young women for chlamydia: A pilot cluster randomised controlled trial

Identifying Potentially Avoidable Hospital Admissions From Canadian Long-Term Care Facilities
BACKGROUND: The provision of preventive services and continuity of care are important aspects of long-term care (LTC). A proposed quality indicator of such care is the rate of hospitalizations due to ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs). As the ACSC approach to identifying potentially avoidable hospitalizations (PAH) was developed for younger community-dwelling adults in the United States, we sought to examine its applicability as a quali…
