Food environment trajectories: A sequence analysis from the CartaGene cohort
Objective: The purpose of this study was to create a typology of longitudinal exposure to food environment based on socio-economic context. Design: Food environment trajectories were modelled using a sequence analysis method, followed by a logistic regression to describe those trajectories. Setting: The study took place in Quebec, Canada, using food environment data from 2009, 2011 and 2018 merged with participants’ demographic and socio-economic…
Association between Neighbourhood Deprivation Trajectories and Self-Perceived Health: Analysis of a Linked Survey and Health Administrative Data
Life course exposure to neighbourhood deprivation may have a previously unstudied relationship with health disparities. This study examined the association between neighbourhood deprivation trajectories (NDTs) and poor reported self-perceived health (SPH) among Quebec's adult population. Data of 45,990 adults with complete residential address histories from the Care-Trajectories-Enriched Data cohort, which links Canadian Community Health Survey r…

School food offer at lunchtime: Assessing the validity and reliability of a web-based questionnaire
Objectives: To develop and validate a web-based self-diagnostic questionnaire on school food service offer aimed at food service managers (FSM) by: (i) identifying relevant indicators of school food offer, developing a questionnaire and validating the concept using an expert panel; (ii) validating the questions by comparing the FSM’s responses with observations by dietitians and (iii) undergoing a qualitative evaluation of the tool through direct…

The Elaboration of an Intersectoral Partnership to Perform Health Impact Assessment in Urban Planning: The Experience of Quebec City (Canada)
Health impact assessments (HIA) allow evaluation of urban interventions' potential effects on health and facilitate decision-making in the urban planning process. However, few municipalities have implemented this method in Canada. This paper presents the approach developed with partners, the process, and the outcomes of HIA implementation after seven years of interinstitutional collaborations in Quebec City (ten HIA). Using direct observation and…
Scoping review of the impacts of urban agriculture on the determinants of health
More peer-reviewed studies are needed in areas where UA is practiced such as Latin America and Caribbean. The inconsistency and the lack of strong quality in the methodology of the included studies are proof that more rigorous studies are also needed in future research. Nevertheless, the substantial existing evidence from this review corroborate that UA can influence different determinants of health such as food security, social capital, health a…
Promoting meal planning through mass media: Awareness of a nutrition campaign among Canadian parents
Objective: To evaluate awareness of the Eat Well Campaign (EWC) among parents and assess perceptions about its effectiveness. Design: Post-campaign evaluation study with a cross-section of parents recruited through random digit dialling. Participants completed an online survey about EWC awareness, its perceived effectiveness among parents and their meal planning practices (attitudes, behaviours and self-efficacy). Setting: A federal mass-media ca…

Individual and School Correlates of Adolescent Leisure Time Physical Activity in Quebec, Canada
Background : Leisure time physical activity (LTPA) correlates have been mostly studied in relation to adolescents' home neighbourhoods, but not so much in relation to the environment of their schools' neighbourhoods. We sought to investigate how objective environmental measures of the schools' vicinity are related to adolescents' self-reported LTPA. Methods : Individual data from the Quebec High School Students Health Survey (QHSSHS) were matched…

Do schools in Quebec foster healthy eating? An overview of associations between school food environment and socio-economic characteristics
Objective A school environment that encourages students to opt for food with sound nutritional value is both essential and formative in ensuring that young people adopt healthy eating habits. The present study explored the associations between the socio-economic characteristics of the school environment and the school food environment. Design A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2008–2009. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed on…

Cet article se veut une contribution originale à la définition d'unités de voisinage dans un contexte d'étude des inégalités sociales de santé. Après une revue de la notion de voisinage, le texte propose une approche de type historique afin de définir des unités de voisinage dans trois territoires de la région de Québec, soit les arrondissements de Limoilou et de Charlesbourg et la municipalité régionale de comté (MRC) de Portneuf. L'approche con…
