Biological markers and psychosocial factors predict chronic pain conditions
Chronic pain is a multifactorial condition presenting significant diagnostic and prognostic challenges. Biomarkers for the classification and the prediction of chronic pain are therefore critically needed. Here, in this multidataset study of over 523,000 participants, we applied machine learning to multidimensional biological data from the UK Biobank to identify biomarkers for 35 medical conditions associated with pain (for example, rheumatoid ar…
Effect of Age-Friendly Communities Action Plan on Trajectories of Older Canadians’ Depressive Symptoms Between 2018 and 2020
As the COVID-19 pandemic impacted mental health, this longitudinal study examined the effect of age-friendly communities (AFC) action plan on older adults' depressive symptoms. Using the CLSA, the CLSA COVID-19 Questionnaire study, survey of Canadian municipalities, and the census, the depressive symptoms trajectories were modeled with multilevel multinomial regressions. Most respondents (66.1%) had non-depressed trajectories, 28.1% experienced a…
Processus novateur pour favoriser la pérennisation et la mise à l’échelle de programmes de prévention de l’anxiété à l’école
Context Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychopathologies for children and adolescents in Quebec. The prevalence of anxiety disorders is very high and has been affecting a growing number of young people for the past 10 years. It is possible to observe an increased number of anxiety prevention programs for young people around the world. However, some authors point out that they are rarely faithfully implemented, sustained, and scale…
Ready-to-use” two-week home exercise program targeting depressive symptoms
Exercise is an evidence-based treatment for depressive symptoms, yet it often requires specialised knowledge, equipment, or professional supervision. Lay people in certain contexts, for example in remote locations or under pandemic restrictions, often lack these resources and thus cannot use exercise to manage their depressive symptoms. We developed a two-week home exercise program that bypasses these barriers and tested it in university students…

The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Anxiety of Adolescents in Québec
Conditioning to Enhance the Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Experimental Pain in Healthy Volunteers
Using a SRPS procedure in healthy volunteers did not enhance rTMS modulating effects on experimental pain sensation (i.e., HPT). Future studies are therefore needed to come up with a conditioning procedure which allows significant enhancement of rTMS pain modulating effects in healthy volunteers
Psychological, Physical and Behavioral Health of Adults, 3 Years After Exposure to a Train Derailment
In July 2013, a train derailment profoundly disrupted the tranquility of the population of Lac-Mégantic for months and even years. In 2016, we conducted a representative population-based survey among 387 people from Lac-Mégantic and 413 from other municipalities with the aim to document psychological and physical health of adults exposed to the disaster. This article examines differences between 3 groups of respondents: those who were highly, mod…

Play the Pain
The value of understanding patients' illness experience and social contexts for advancing medicine and clinical care is widely acknowledged. However, methodologies for rigorous and inclusive data gathering and integrative analysis of biomedical, cultural, and social factors are limited. In this paper, we propose a digital strategy for large-scale qualitative health research, using play (as a state of being, a communication mode or context, and a …
The Evolution in Anxiety and Depression with the Progression of the Pandemic in Adult Populations from Eight Countries and Four Continents
Nearly a year after the classification of the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic, it is clear that different factors have contributed to an increase in psychological disorders, including public health measures that infringe on personal freedoms, growing financial losses, and conflicting messages. This study examined the evolution of psychosocial impacts with the progression of the pandemic in adult populations from different countries and con…
Community Outreach with Families of Young Children
Community outreach workers support people accessing health and social services. Even though they have been working in the province of Quebec (Canada) for the past 40 years, their practice is poorly documented (especially with families having children aged 0 to 5 years). To document this practice and its impacts for children and families, a content analysis was performed on 55 scientific and gray literature documents, 24 interviews, and 3 focus gr…

A Salutogenic Approach to Disaster Recovery
In July 2013, a train carrying crude oil derailed in Lac-Mégantic (Canada). This disaster provoked a major fire, 47 deaths, the destruction of 44 buildings, a massive evacuation, and an unparalleled oil spill. Since 2013, Public Health has undertaken several actions to address this challenging situation, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Community-based surveys were conducted in Lac-Mégantic in 2014, 2015 and 2018. The first two su…
One Virus, Four Continents, Eight Countries
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought about several features that increased the sense of fear and confusion, such as quarantine and financial losses among other stressors, which may have led to adverse psychosocial outcomes. The influence of such stressors took place within a broader sociocultural context that needs to be considered. The objective was to examine how the psychological response to the pandemic varied across…
Preschoolers’ Developmental Profiles and School-Readiness in a Low-Income Canadian City
A joint initiative between community and public health stakeholders in a low-income Canadian city was created to describe the developmental profiles of children aged 2-5 years. A two-phase, cross-sectional design was used. Children's development was assessed using an online screening procedure. Those at risk of delays were invited for a school-readiness face-to-face brief assessment. Descriptive and exploratory analyses were conducted. In Phase 1…

Reduced Fear-Conditioned Pain Modulation in Experienced Meditators
OBJECTIVE: Mindfulness-based practice is a form of cognitive/affective training that may help reduce suffering by attenuating maladaptive anticipatory processes. This study's objective was to examine the pain modulating impact of classical fear learning in meditation practitioners. METHODS: The hyperalgesic effects of pain expectation and uncertainty were assessed outside formal meditation in 11 experienced meditators (>1000 hours) compared with …

La transformation sociale par l'innovation sociale
Les innovations sociales, a la maniere de bougies d’allumage, engendrent des actions collectives qui proposent des solutions differentes de celles des pratiques dominantes en mettant l’economie au service des personnes et de la societe. Or la simple multiplication des innovations sociales ne peut generer la transformation sociale a elle seule. La mise en relation des mouvements sociaux et de leur visee emancipatoire est necessaire pour faconner d…

Surveillance of Social and Geographic Inequalities in Housing-Related Issues
Even though health inequalities are conditioned by many aspects of the environment, much of the existing research focuses on the social environment. This emphasis has the effect to neglect other environmental aspects such as its physical dimension. The physical environment, which is linked to housing conditions, may contribute to the uneven distribution of health. In this study, we examined 19 housing-related issues among a representative sample …
