Multi-Omics for Mothers and Infants (Momi) Consortium
Background: The Multi-Omics for Mothers and Infants (MOMI) Consortium aims to define biological mechanisms associated with preterm birth, small for gestational age, preeclampsia, and stillbirth.

‘Who is going to put their life on the line for a dollar? That’s crazy’
BACKGROUND: Financial compensation of research participants has been standard practice for centuries, however, there is an ongoing debate among researchers and ethicists regarding the ethical nature of this practice. While these debates develop ethical arguments and theories, they fail to incorporate input from those most affected by financial compensation: potential research participants. METHODS: To identify attitudes surrounding clinical resea…
Effect of Neighborhood and Individual-Level Socioeconomic Factors on Colorectal Cancer Screening Adherence
Despite the effectiveness of screenings in reducing colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality, ~25% of US adults do not adhere to screening guidelines. Prior studies associate socioeconomic status (SES) with low screening adherence and suggest that neighborhood deprivation can influence CRC outcomes. We comprehensively investigated the effect of neighborhood SES circumstances (nSES), individual SES, and race/ethnicity on adherence to CRC screening in a m…

Literary journalism in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the South Pacific varies according to the populations, histories, and communications infrastructure of each location. In general, a common pattern has been initial evaluations of work against British and European, then latte…

Health Care Workers’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices on Tobacco Use in Economically Disadvantaged Dominican Republic Communities
Tobacco use is increasing globally, particularly in low and middle-income countries like the Dominican Republic (DR) where data have been lacking. Health care worker (HCW) interventions improve quit rates; asking patients about tobacco use at each visit is an evidence-based first step. This study provides the first quantitative examination of knowledge, attitudes and practices of DR HCWs regarding tobacco use. All HCWs (N = 153) in 7 economically…
Boys and Girls in No Man's Land

From Aboriginal writing to Margaret Atwood, this is a complete English-language history of Canadian writing in English and French from its beginnings. The multi-authored volume pays special attention to works from the 1960s and after, to multicultural and indigenous writing, popular literature, and the interaction of anglophone and francophone cultures throughout Canadian history. Established genres such as fiction, drama and poetry are discussed…
Certainty (review)
Reviewed by: Certainty Susan Fisher Madeleine Thien. Certainty. Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 2006. 320 pp. $32.99 hc. $21.00 sc. In Canada, World War II is usually remembered as a European war. When Remembrance Day comes round, it is footage of Canadians fighting in Italy and Normandy that dominates the television specials. But for many Asian Canadians, what looms largest in memory is not the conflict in Europe but events in the Pacific theat…
