A Review of Intimate Partner Violence Interventions Relevant to Women During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Women have experienced increased rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) since the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and at the same time requirements for physical distancing and/or remote delivery of services have created challenges in accessing services. We synthesized research evidence from 4 systematic reviews and 20 individual studies to address how IPV interventions can be adapted within the context of the pandemic. As many interventi…
Accessing drug treatment programs in Atlantic Canada
People who use substances (PWUS) (e.g. inject substances) are at risk of many harms. Various services help reduce risks including drug treatment programs such as withdrawal management and opioid agonist treatment. Much of the research on PWUS’ experiences of treatment programs is set in large urban centers creating a knowledge gap of experiences in other places. Our study helps address this gap by exploring PWUS’ experiences of treatment programs…

Findings reveal that trans adults often feel discriminated against and socially excluded in primary and emergency care settings. This ma…

It is important to consider how the contexts of interventions might elicit and/or support clients' engagement. Further research is needed to explore how an individual's background (e.g., involvement with different interventions over an extended period) may influence engagement. Long-term engagement may be necessary to sustain some positive outcomes although how long is unclear and requires further research. Engagement can occur without complete a…

The youths expressed a strong attachment to place, as well as a concern for local, natural resources. However, because of the economic instability of the…
Intimate relationships and women involved in the sex trade
This article reports on a qualitative study exploring the intimate (non-work) relationships of women involved in the sex trade. Women working in the sex industry and intimate partners of women in the industry were interviewed in order to understand how intimate relationships are perceived as influencing the women's general health and well-being. The research suggests that intimate relationships can, and do, provide a space for feelings of inclusi…
Stress in the sex trade and beyond
There is an extensive body of research literature on female sex trade workers’ risks of sexually transmitted infections including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We also have a vast literature on the physical assaults and violence experienced by female sex trade workers while working. However, we know relatively little about other aspects of the women's health, and especially the ways in which social relations within both their working an…
