A proposed research agenda for the study of educational inequities in diet quality
Educational attainment is a key determinant of diet quality. The overarching pathways (i.e. theories and mechanisms) through which educational attainment shapes diet quality remain largely unexplored in the nutrition literature, and the most salient pathways likely differ across time, populations and socio-economic and political contexts. This commentary proposes a research agenda and outlines methodological considerations that are intended to be…
The Household Food Security Survey Module, as Used in Canada, is a Policy-Sensitive Indicator of Both Material Deprivation and Social Exclusion
This paper examines the post-implementation evolution of food insecurity measurement in Canada using the Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) as a deprivation indicator. Widely accepted as a reliable and valid indicator, here, we examine the question: An indicator of what? Following an overview on the design of the HFSSM measure which focuses on its disciplinary and theoretical foundations, we review Canadian empirical literature employi…
Public policy interventions to mitigate household food insecurity in Canada: A systematic review
Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to synthesise the evidence on public policy interventions and their ability to reduce household food insecurity (HFI) in Canada. Design: Four databases were searched up to October 2023. Only studies that reported on public policy interventions that might reduce HFI were included, regardless of whether that was the primary purpose of the study. Title and abstract screening, full-text screening,…

The purpose of this research is to conduct a systematic mapping exercise on the available scientific literature related to FBDOs in hospitality in the DR and their link to reported food safety and hygienic practices. Design/methodology/approach A predefined search protocol applied the principles …
Framing analysis: Its usefulness as a tool for advocacy on public health nutrition problems
Framing analysis: its usefulness as a tool for advocacy on public health nutrition problems Public health nutrition remains a place where empirical work about natural phenomena (e.g., nutrients) co-exists with studies interrogating how meaning is constructed. Framing is a process by which people orient their thinking about a problem Framing analysis could thus be helpful to public health nutrition professionals seeking to mitigate health problems…
The application of 'valence' to the idea of household food insecurity in Canada
A natural experimental study of the protective effect of home ownership on household food insecurity in Canada before and after a recession (2008–2009)
Political rhetoric from Canada can inform healthy public policy argumentation
Household food insecurity (HFI), insufficient income to obtain adequate food, is a growing problem in Canada and other Organisation of economic cooperation and development (OECD) countries. Government political orientations impact health policies and outcomes. We critically examined Canadian political rhetoric around HFI from 1995 to 2012 as a means to support effective healthy public policy argumentation. We analysed a data set comprised of Hans…
(Not) getting political: Indigenous women and preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV in West Papua
This paper builds on critiques that call for a more nuanced and contextualised understanding of conditions that affect HIV prevention by looking at West Papuan women's experiences of prevention of mother-to-child transmission services. Drawing on qualitative, ethnographic research with indigenous women and health workers, the paper demonstrates that women experience poor-quality HIV education and counselling, and that indigenous practices and con…

An Intersectionality Analysis of Gender, Indigeneity, and Food Insecurity among Ultrapoor Garo Women in Bangladesh
Across a number of indicators, Indigenous women worldwide experience poorer health and less access to resources and services than either non-Indigenous women or Indigenous men. This paper is specifically concerned with Indigenous women’s experiences of food insecurity, a key determinant of health. We analyse the links between gender, indigeneity, and food insecurity among a small group of ultrapoor Indigenous Garo women in Bangladesh. We demonstr…
When working is not enough: Food insecurity in the Canadian labour force
Objective Food insecurity, lack of access to food due to financial constraints, is highly associated with poor health outcomes. Households dependent on social assistance are at increased risk of experiencing food insecurity, but food insecurity has also been reported in households reporting their main source of income from employment/wages (working households). The objective of the present study was to examine the correlates of food insecurity am…
Women respondents report higher household food insecurity than do men in similar Canadian households
Objective We investigated factors accounting for the consistently higher levels of household food insecurity reported by women in Canada. Design Two cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey for the years 2005/2006 and 2007/2008 were pooled to examine the association between household food insecurity, measured using the Household Food Security Survey Module and other metrics, and respondent sex. We stratified households as married/cohabiting…

Interrogating progress indicators of the third Millennium Development Goal from the viewpoint of ultrapoor Bangladeshi female heads of household
Three indicators are instituted to monitor progress towards the third Millennium Development Goal (MDG3) directed at the promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment: girls’ participation in education, women's participation in nonagricultural wage employment, and women's participation in national political decision-making. We examined these indicators through the narratives of 43 ultrapoor Bangladeshi women heads of households. Although t…

Nobody helps us: Insights from ultra-poor Bangladeshi women on being beyond reach
This paper documents the exclusion from formal assistance of 43 Bangladeshi ultra-poor female heads of household, which forces women to rely on overstretched forms of informal assistance that are not culturally prescribed and are often experienced as shameful. Experiences of helplessness reinforced by dominant views of the ultra-poor as going nowhere discourage women from seeking out formal assistance. In order to overcome the effects of being de…

Farmwomen's Discourses on Family Food Provisioning: Gender, Healthism, and Risk Avoidance
This paper examines the dominant discourses utilized by 21 farmwomen with children in three regions of Canada in relation to their talk of household food provisioning. We define food provisioning as the acquisition, preparation, and consumption of food that draws on personal, family, and community resources and supports. Farmwomen expressed their position as gatekeeper of the family meal through traditional gender role discourses. Feeding their f…

The failure of charitable school- and community-based nutrition programmes to feed hungry children
Growing rates of child poverty in Canada and recognition of relationships among poverty, compromised nutrition, health and educational opportunities have led to a proliferation of child-feeding programmes. The purpose of this paper is to explore the contributions of charitable school- and community-based nutrition programmes toward meeting their goal of feeding hungry children through a critical ethnography of nine diverse programmes in Atlantic …
The ‘wonderfulness’ of children’s feeding programs
When people involved in children's feeding programs were asked to describe them, without exception they were described using phrases that reflected the perception of 'wonderfulness'. This paper critically analyses the 'wonderfulness' of children's feeding programs by examining the language used to describe these programs, and the features of a 'wonderful' program through an analysis of a multi-site, qualitative case study of nine diverse programs…

Improving the nutritional status of food-insecure women: First, let them eat what they like
Objective To determine the extent to which identified nutrient inadequacies in the dietary intakes of a sample of food-insecure women could be ameliorated by increasing their access to the ‘healthy’ foods they typically eat. Design Merged datasets of 226 food-insecure women who provided at least three 24-hour dietary intake recalls over the course of a month. Dietary modelling, with energy adjustment for severe food insecurity, explored the effec…
Milk as Metaphor: Low-Income Lone Mothers' Characterization of their Challenges Acquiring Milk for their Families
This study investigated the discourses of low-income lone mothers in Atlantic Canada when they were asked to comment on challenges they faced in providing food in general, and milk in particular, for their families. Data were collected between 1999 and 2006 over the course of two studies through face-to-face interviews and focus groups. We also sought mothers' views on ways to increase access to milk. Transcripts were re-analyzed to assess the sy…

Rose's population strategy of prevention need not increase social inequalities in health
Geoffrey Rose's 1985 paper, Sick individuals and sick populations, continues to spark debate and discussion. Since this original publication, there have been two notable challenges to Rose's population strategy of prevention. First, identification of high-risk individuals has improved considerably in accuracy, which some believe obviates the need for population-wide prevention strategies. Secondly, and more recently, it has been suggested that po…

‘I know what's gone into it’: Canadian farmwomen's conceptualisation of food safety
The purpose of this paper is to understand how Canadian farmwomen conceptualise food safety within the context of their daily food provisioning activities. We conducted a conventional qualitative content analysis of interview transcripts from a study that explored the food provisioning practices of farmwomen in Alberta (n = 6), Ontario (n = 6), and Nova Scotia (n = 10). Farmwomen provided a conceptualisation of food safety that appears to stem fr…
Working Homeless Men in Calgary, Canada: Hegemony and Identity
This purpose of this research is to understand how young adult homeless working men experience homelessness in an oil boom and prosperous city, Calgary, Alberta. Following a period of participant observation, five purposively selected working homeless men aged 20-28 years participated in in-depth individual interviews, which were initiated around their daily food routine. We found that the men experienced moderate to severe food insecurity and re…
Inclusion and exclusion in mid-life lesbians' experiences of the Pap test
Lesbians are said to feel excluded by sexual health messages that presume heterosexuality, a finding linked to lower levels of Papanicolaou (Pap) testing. This paper discusses a small, focused qualitative study based in Calgary, Canada that illuminated mid-life lesbians' experiences and perceptions of Pap testing and health. Participants indicated that they felt compelled and invited to access Pap testing by an inclusive discourse - that of 'mid-…
