Covid-19 Pandemic Experiences across the Shelter-Care Continuum in Older Adults
The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on older adults (55+) living at the mid-point of the shelter-care continuum, in seniors housing (SH) and assisted living (AL), remains largely unexplored. This study compares survey responses of SH and AL residents with those of age peers living in private conventional community-based dwellings (CD) in British Columbia, Canada. Despite more SH/AL residents reporting feelings of isolation and changes to social suppor…
Development of Policy-Relevant Indicators for Injury Prevention in British Columbia by the Key Decision-Makers
Indicators can help decision-makers evaluate interventions in a complex, multi-sectoral injury system. We aimed to create indicators for road safety, seniors falls, and 'all-injuries' to inform and evaluate injury prevention initiatives in British Columbia, Canada. The indicator development process involved a five-stage mixed methodology approach, including an environmental scan of existing indicators, generating expert consensus, selection of de…
Where does the high road lead?” Potential implications of cannabis legalization for pediatric injuries in Canada
The purpose of this commentary is to discuss how legalization of non-medical marijuana (LNMM) in Canada can potentially influence child and adolescent unintentional injuries based on evidence from states (American) and jurisdictions that have already legalized cannabis for recreational purposes. Although the evidence is still not conclusive, LNMM can bring about higher exposure, lower perceived harms, and higher prevalence of cannabis use by mino…
Socioeconomic position and incidence of gastric cancer
Parental willingness to pay for child safety seats in Mashad, Iran
The median parental WTP was much lower than the actual price of the safety seats, and those who were of lower socio-economic class were less willing to pay. Interventions to increase low-income families' access to child safety seats such as providing free of charge or subsidized seats, renting or health insurance coverage should be considered
Spring cleaning as a safety risk
The incidence of spring cleaning related injuries is high enough to raise concern in health system authorities. It could be estimated that about 23,927 to 38,283 persons get injured during the spring cleaning in Tehran at the beginning of every Persian new year. In addition, about 8,773-18,344 of these cases are expected to be severe enough to lead to medical attention (considering 7,975,679 as the population of Tehran at the time of study). Impr…
Association of waterpipe smoking and road traffic crashes
Being waterpipe and/or cigarette smoker and DDT were the independent predictors of the number of traffic crashes in Poisson regression model. If the increased risk of RTC among waterpipe or cigarette smokers is seen in other studies, it would be beneficial to promote tobacco cessation and control strategies through injury prevention initiatives
