A comparative analysis of regulatory models in the assisted living sector in Canada and impacts on integrated care
Introduction: In Canada, the increasing prevalence of assisted living allows older adults continued independence while offering a shared community and options for help with services like meal preparation, housekeeping, personal and medical care. However, concerns about care quality arises in provinces with a largely for-profit, private pay assisted living model. Regulation of the assisted living sector across Canada is fragmented with regulatory …
Minimum Legal Age of Nonmedical Cannabis Purchase Laws and Cannabis-Related Hospitalizations in Canada, 2015 to 2022
Objectives. To determine whether the minimum legal age (MLA) for cannabis purchases is associated with reductions in cannabis-related hospitalizations in youths. Methods. We performed a population-based study examining all hospitalizations for cannabis use in Canada for individuals aged 15 to 44 years (n = 14.6 million in 2018) between January 1, 2015, and March 31, 2022. MLAs varied across Canada. We used a controlled interrupted time series des…
Qualité et sécurité des services de santé offerts en situation linguistique minoritaire en Ontario
Dans cet article, nous présentons une synthèse de plusieurs analyses récentes réalisées par notre groupe de recherche à partir de données administratives de santé pour mesurer la qualité et la sécurité des services de santé offerts aux francophones et allophones en Ontario, Canada. Les résultats de nos analyses démontrent que les Ontariennes et les Ontariens qui reçoivent des soins dans leur principale langue d’usage ont généralement de meilleurs…
Évaluer le potentiel de soins linguistiquement concordants pour les francophones de l’Ontario
Évaluer le potentiel de soins linguistiquement concordants pour les francophones de l’Ontario : une étude populationnelle transversale. Un article de la revue Minorités linguistiques et société / Linguistic Minorities and Society (La santé en contexte francophone minoritaire au Canada : 20 ans de recherche) diffusée par la plateforme Érudit
Lived experiences of palliative care physicians on the impacts of language and cultural discordance on end-of-life care across Ontario, Canada
Cultural discordance required awareness of personal biases, while language discordance hindered basic communication. These findings will be useful in informing clinical practice guidelines and mobilizing policy-level change to improve palliative/EoL care for patients from linguistic and cultural minority groups
Access to legal cannabis market in Canada over the four years following non‐medical cannabis legalisation
Pediatric Hospitalizations for Unintentional Cannabis Poisonings and All-Cause Poisonings Associated With Edible Cannabis Product Legalization and Sales in Canada
This cross-sectional study found that following cannabis legalization, provinces that permitted edible cannabis sales experienced much larger increases in hospitalizations for unintentional pediatric poisonings than the province that prohibited cannabis edibles. In provinces with legal edibles, approximately one-third of pediatric hospitalizations for poisonings were due to cannabis. These findings suggest that restricting the sale of legal comme…
Improving social justice in observational studies
Achieving global imperatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals (e.g., SDG 10 Reduced inequalities, SDG 3 Good health and wellbeing) requires advancing health equity in research. The implementation of the STROBE-Equity guidelines will enable a better awareness and understanding of health inequities through better reporting. We will broadly disseminate the reporting guideline with tools to enable adoption and use by journal editors, authors…
Changes in health service use due to alcohol during the Covid-19 pandemic among individuals with and individuals without pre-existing alcohol-related medical diagnoses
Exploring Primary Care Physicians' Experiences of Language and Cultural Discordant Care for Linguistic Minority Patients at the End-of-Life
Health disparities exist across different linguistic groups. Language barriers in primary care can negatively affect access to healthcare services and the quality and safety of care at the end-of-life. This study will take a novel, in-depth look at the experience of language- and/or cultural-discordant care for adults from linguistic minority groups through the eyes of primary care physicians providing palliative and/or end-of-life care. Language…
How has access to legal cannabis changed over time? An analysis of the cannabis retail market in Canada 2 years following the legalisation of recreational cannabis
Changes in the dollar value of per capita alcohol, essential, and non-essential retail sales in Canada during Covid-19
During the first 9 months of the pandemic, per capita alcohol sales were moderately elevated in Canada. In contrast, non-essential sales were lower than prior years, driven by large decreases during the initial months of the pandemic. These findings suggest that the pandemic was associated with increased population-level alcohol consumption, which may lead to increased alcohol-related harms. Ongoing research is needed to examine how factors, incl…
Development and validation of a predictive algorithm for risk of dementia in the community setting
BACKGROUND: Most dementia algorithms are unsuitable for population-level assessment and planning as they are designed for use in the clinical setting. A predictive risk algorithm to estimate 5-year dementia risk in the community setting was developed. METHODS: The Dementia Population Risk Tool (DemPoRT) was derived using Ontario respondents to the Canadian Community Health Survey (survey years 2001 to 2012). Five-year incidence of physician-diagn…
The Impact of Language on Emergency Department Visits, Hospitalizations, and Length of Stay Among Home Care Recipients
BACKGROUND: Research considering the impact of language on health care utilization is limited. We conducted a population-based study to: (1) investigate the association between residents' preferred language and hospital-based health care utilization; and (2) determine whether this association is modified by dementia, a condition which can exacerbate communication barriers. METHODS: We used administrative databases to establish a retrospective coh…
Places of death and places of care for Indigenous Peoples in Ontario
Cost-effectiveness of Investment in End-of-Life Home Care to Enable Death in Community Settings
BACKGROUND: Many people with terminal illness prefer to die in home-like settings-including care homes, hospices, or palliative care units-rather than an acute care hospital. Home-based palliative care services can increase the likelihood of death in a community setting, but the provision of these services may increase costs relative to usual care. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to estimate the incremental cost per community death for perso…

Simulation modeling to enhance population health intervention research for chronic disease prevention
Primary Health Care Models Addressing Health Equity for Immigrants
How many people have had a myocardial infarction? Prevalence estimated using historical hospital data
Estimating myocardial infarction prevalence using a limited number of years of hospital data is feasible, and validity increases when unobserved events are added to observed events. The "back tracing" method is simple, reliable, and produces a myocardial infarction registry with high estimated "completeness" for jurisdictions with linked hospital data
