Policy pathways and historical insights
Canada's evolving attitudes toward psychedelic interventions in palliative and end-of-life care reflect a departure from historically prohibitionist policies and an emerging recognition of their therapeutic potential for individuals facing end-of-life distress. This shift parallels international regulatory developments in jurisdictions such as the United States, Australia and parts of Europe, where cautious policy liberalization has signaled grow…
Stigma, Scarcity and the Price of Legitimacy
This study examines how chronic pain advocates in Canada navigated fraught relationships with pharmaceutical companies amid escalating concerns about the adverse public health impacts of opioids. Drawing on 22 qualitative interviews with professional chronic pain advocates, it examines how advocates navigated their complex relationships with pharmaceutical companies amid structural constraints and limited institutional support. Findings reveal th…

Understanding experts’ conflicting perspectives on tobacco harm reduction and e-cigarettes
The growing use of e-cigarettes has been condemned as a significant health crisis by some and welcomed as an unprecedented opportunity to eliminate combustible tobacco by others. Seeking to better understand the contestation and range of perspectives on this issue, this article employs an interpretivist approach to identify how experts communicate their perspectives on these issues. This debate is examined through interviews with twenty one tobac…
Sex Education by Theatre (SExT)
Despite rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and inequitable access to education and services, few studies have addressed the unique sex education needs of newcomer youth in Canada and other increasingly demographically diverse Western countries. This study involved the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel and innovative participatory action research project, SExT: Sex Education by Theatre. SExT is a theatre-based, c…
Strategy design for New Public Governance and horizontal initiatives
Governments deploy comprehensive strategies to address complex social problems with various New Public Governance and horizontal initiatives. Minimal attention, however, has focused on developing evidence‐informed strategy design for such initiatives. Using a systematic literature review, five strategy design principles were identified: 1) proper selection of interventions; 2) system enablers; 3) a guiding purpose; 4) substantive political commit…
Ban on menthol-flavoured tobacco products predicts cigarette cessation at 1 year
The study found higher rates of quitting among daily and occasional menthol smokers in Ontario 1 year after the implementation of a menthol ban compared with non-menthol smokers. Our findings suggest that restrictions on menthol may lead to substantial improvements in public health
How much evidence is enough? A public health perspective on evidence-informed tobacco policy
Marketing Iqos in a dark market
These promotion activities have undoubtedly made substantial numbers of Ontarians aware of IQOS. Yet, the government has not provided guidance as to absolute and relative potential harms. Our observations of tactics to promote a new tobacco product in a dark market may inform government regulatory policy and non-governmental organisation efforts wherever heat-not-burn products are introduced

Formal and Informal Mentoring
Informal mentors likely play a substantial role in novice teacher learning, yet we know little about them, especially in relation to formal mentoring, which is the cornerstone to most induction programs. This study analyzes survey and interview data from 57 first-year mathematics teachers from 11 districts to investigate differences in the characteristics of formal and informal mentoring that can inform improvements in mentoring policy. Our findi…

U.S. Abortion in Context
The implications and effects of restrictive abortion laws depend on the characteristics and motivations of women obtaining abortions. Using secondary analysis of abortion patient data, this article documents substantial diversity in reproductive histories, family responsibilities, resources, and reasons for abortion among minors and adults who differed in marital and parental status. Abortion patients had substantial family responsibilities; near…
Mapping the Distortions in Time and Space
Accessibility is frequently used in transportation planning to measure the efficiency of new infrastructure in terms of travel time and population served. In this article, the authors apply accessibility concepts based on the geo-historical angle. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between population dynamics and the railway expansion from 1830 to 1930. Their approach considers a local scale composed of some 36,000 French c…
Spatial History
A comparative spatial history combining historical narrative, geographical thinking, and spatial analysis of historical data offers new perspectives on railway expansion and its effects in France and Great Britain during the long nineteenth century. Accessible rail transport in the rural regions of both countries opened new economic opportunities in agriculture, extractive industries, and service trades, helping to revitalize rural communities an…
Do crises help remedy regulatory failure? A comparative study of the Walkerton water and Jerusalem banquet hall disasters
This study explores whether and how policy changes in the aftermath of a crisis. The authors ask why pre‐existing regulatory regimes that are identified as contributory factors to “failure” are not necessarily reformed in the wake of a crisis. The investigation adds to the literature that addresses the classic tension between reformism and conservatism in post‐crisis periods. Regulatory failure is identified as being largely responsible for two c…
A Participatory Action Research Pilot Study of Urban Health Disparities Using Rapid Assessment Response and Evaluation
Healthy People 2010 made it a priority to eliminate health disparities. We used a rapid assessment response and evaluation (RARE) to launch a program of participatory action research focused on health disparities in an urban, disadvantaged Black community serviced by a major south Florida health center. We formed partnerships with community members, identified local health disparities, and guided interventions targeting health disparities. We des…
Prevalence of Anogenital Warts Among Participants in Private Health Plans in the United States, 2003–2010
Objectives. We estimated anogenital wart prevalence from 2003 to 2010 by gender and age group in a large US cohort with private insurance to detect potential decreases among people most likely to be affected by human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Methods. We restricted health care claims to those from individuals aged 10 to 39 years with continuous insurance within a given year. We derived anogenital wart diagnoses from a diagnosis of condylo…
Regulatory Ethics in Theory and Practice
This article examines the usefulness of regulatory capture theories for understanding breaches in oversight ethics. Unethical oversight was found responsible for two crises: the Walkerton drinking water tragedy in Canada and the Versailles Banquet Hall collapse in Israel. The cases differ in respect to retrospective oversight ethics involving policy change to improve regulatory vigilance. Regulatory capture theories cannot adequately explain the …
School Accountability – An Elusive Policy Solution
Politics of accountability theory contends that policymakers are unlikely to adopt external accountability policies. Contrary to the theory, many countries have adopted external school accountability policies, while Israel has not. The disequilibrium theory of policy selection is used to analyze differences among countries in school accountability policymaking. I find that the symbolic potency of policies helps to explain these differences. The s…

The Contracting Quandary
Problems with competitive transactional contracting raise the possibility of relational contracting as an attractive alternative for managing local authority–VNPO (voluntary non-profit organisation) relations. This empirical study of 45 relational social service contracts examines the conditions under which advantages such as flexibility and social capital development emerge as opposed to dangers of political abuse, defiance and resource frustrat…
Collaboration with the ‘Third Sector’ - Issues of Accountability
This article explores the possibility, expressed in the literature, that Third Sector Organisations present a solution to what has been called the crisis of accountability. The paper addresses conceptual issues of holding collaborative government to account. Using Israel's Third Sector as a case in point, we illustrate several problems in holding Third Sector Organisations to account. Some of these problems have been well established in the liter…

Computer-Assisted Facial Sketching
What is it about a sketch of a face, merely a few lines drawn on a piece of paper, that makes a viewer recognize them as the face of a specific person? Clearly, an artist makes a remarkable series of decisions about which aspects of a face are information-bearing for the purpose of recognition and transforms these decisions into a collection of lines. But an untrained or untalented person who desires to sketch a face is generally at a loss to kno…
Acupuncture and Expertise
Oj ne of the unexpected consequences of reopening commerce with China in the 1970s has been the development of a demand for acupuncture in the United States. From the time of Richard Nixon's first visit, travelers have returned from China with pictures showing the use of acupuncture as an anesthetic in very serious operations, and with stories of the phenomenal success of acupuncture in treating pain generally not amenable to Western medical proc…

Why Britain Can't Afford Informed Consent
The authors discuss a February 1985 decision by the British House of Lords in a malpractice case, Sidaway v. Bethlem Royal Hospital, which rejected the "American" legal doctrine of informed consent, based on the obligation of the physician to disclose enough information for a reasonable patient to make an informed decision, in favor of a standard based on the obligations of the reasonable physician. The authors contend that the British National H…

Is Mathematical Competence Innate
Despite a vast philosophical literature on the epistemology of mathematics and much speculation about how, in principle, knowledge of this domain is possible, little attention has been paid to the psychological findings and theories concerning the acquisition, comprehension and use of mathematical knowledge. This contrasts sharply with recent philosophical work on language where comparable issues and problems arise. One topic that is the center o…

Looking into Pictures
Interdisciplinary explorations of the implications of recent developments in vision theory for our understanding of the nature of pictorial representation and picture perception. The last half of the twentieth century witnessed dramatic changes in the theory of vision. In particular, the "eye-as-camera" metaphor that had long dominated the field no longer seemed tenable. Somewhat surprisingly, however, the metaphor has maintained its appeal in th…
