Quiet de/bordering
This article examines how individuals supporting migrants with precarious immigration status navigate institutional barriers to secure healthcare access in Ontario. Drawing on 47 qualitative interviews with migrant health advocates, it examines how ‘quiet’ situational, relational, and discretionary de/bordering practices shape processes of differential inclusion in healthcare. Participants described using these strategies to navigate institutiona…
How is health equity considered in scale-up guidance? A scoping review of process models for scaling public health innovations
Scale-up guidance is valuable to guiding efforts to increase the reach and impact of public health innovations. Health equity, that is, ‘the absence of systematic disparities in health between groups’ is often a motivator for scale-up though it is unclear how ‘equity’ is considered within existing scale-up guidance. This scoping review aimed to identify the equity considerations articulated within existing scale-up models. Five databases and grey…
A scoping review of measures to assess health professionals’ competencies related to health literacy
Health professionals play an important role in addressing health literacy and ensuring that health systems and information are easy to understand, access, and navigate. We conducted a scoping review to identify and describe measures and tools that assess health professionals’ health literacy competency related to knowledge, skills, practices, attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavioural intentions. Electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PubMe…
Challenging Borders, Claiming Care
This paper examines how activists in Ontario, Canada, use de/bordering strategies to navigate healthcare access for individuals with precarious immigration status-an issue often overlooked in Canadian health and immigration policy debates. Drawing on interviews with 47 activists across health and community settings, this article, part of the broader project Underground Patchworks of Access: Migrant Health Activism in Ontario and the Emotional Wor…

Difficult Health Conversations
During the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, public health officials in the United States called upon vaccinated individuals to encourage reluctant family members to get vaccinated. Due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic becoming politically polarized, encouraging a loved one to get vaccinated could create a difficult conversation that was emotionally charged and accentuated ingroup/outgroup dynamics. Using normative rhetorical theory as a theoretical …
Reaching Priority Populations When Scaling Up
Implementing evidence-based health promotion programmes at scale is important for achieving population-level health outcomes. However, achieving equitable reach can be challenging. An evidence-based early-life nutrition and movement intervention (INFANT) is currently being implemented at scale in Australia. This study explored practitioners' perceptions about reaching priority population groups through INFANT or similar universal preventive healt…
Parents’ perceived barriers and enablers to providing optimal infant oral care
The key influences enabling or preventing optimal infant oral care identified in this study lay the foundation for interventions to target these behaviours. To encourage a timely first dental visit, parents need consistent messaging from dental and other health professionals. To encourage twice daily toothbrushing, parents need more support in managing their child's behaviour and competing priorities
A psychometric analysis of the adapted historical loss scale and historical loss associated symptoms scale among native Hawaiian adults
Objectives: The Historical Loss Scale (HLS) and Historical Loss Associated Symptoms Scale (HLASS) are standardized measures that have been accepted and previously validated among North American Indigenous communities and allow researchers to measure the impact of Historical Loss. Evidence of the psychometric properties of this instrument have not been assessed for Native Hawaiians, the Indigenous peoples of Hawai'i. The purpose of this study is t…
Adult Familial Influences on Rural Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Youths’ E-Cigarette Use
Background: Over the past decade, youth e-cigarette use has grown into a national epidemic, with Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) youths’ rates among some of the highest in the nation. Family factors significantly contribute to NHPI youths’ decisions to engage in or resist substance use, yet few studies have specifically examined familial influences on NHPI youths’ substance use decision-making and behaviors. Objective: The objective o…

Exploring Youths’ Offers to Use E-Cigarettes in Rural Hawai‘i
The purpose of this study is to describe the development and initial validation of a survey focused on problematic situations involving e-cigarette use by rural Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) youths. A 5-phase approach to test development and validation was used. In Phase 1 (Item Generation), survey items were created from a series of focus groups with middle school youths on Hawai'i Island ( N = 69). In Phase 2 (Item Refinement and …
The impact of decolonizing methodologies
Purpose To share the narratives of six Indigenous Researchers representing the diverse thinking of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. The narratives describe the impact Decolonizing Methodologies have on our lives within the framework of Tuhiwai Smith’s Indigenous Research Agenda. Design/methodology/approach Linda Tuhwai Smith’s Indigenous Research Agenda framework is used to explore through narrative, the impact Decolonizing Methodologies ha…
Mapping intervention components from a randomized controlled trial to scale-up of an early life nutrition and movement intervention
Introduction: Early life parent-focused interventions can effectively improve infant and child nutrition and movement (physical activity and sedentary behavior) as well as parents' health behaviors. Scale-up of such interventions to real-world settings is essential for population-wide benefits. When progressing to scale-up, intervention components may be modified to reflect contextual factors and promote feasibility of scale-up. The INFANT progra…
Increasing Native Research Leadership Through an Early Career Development Program
Inequities impact American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations across various health conditions; in particular, many Native communities bear a disproportionate burden of substance use disorder. Such inequities persist despite concerted efforts of communities and significant research directed toward prevention and intervention. One factor hampering these efforts is the underrepresentation of researchers who are themselves Native…
Ethnic inequalities in older adults bowel cancer awareness
Awareness of bowel cancer symptoms, risk factors and screening varies by ethnicity. Interventions should be targeted towards specific groups for whom awareness of screening and risk factors is low
The process of culturally adapting the Healthy Beginnings early obesity prevention program for Arabic and Chinese mothers in Australia
This cultural adaptation of Healthy Beginnings followed an established process model and resulted in a program with enhanced relevance and accessibility among Arabic and Chinese speaking migrant mothers. This work will inform the future cultural adaptation stages: testing, refining, and trialling the culturally adapted Healthy Beginnings program to assess acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness
Feasibility of a culturally adapted early childhood obesity prevention program among migrant mothers in Australia
The culturally adapted Healthy Beginnings program was feasible to deliver and acceptable to Arabic- and Chinese-speaking mothers. Our results highlight the importance of in-language resources and individualised bi-cultural nurse support by telephone for supporting culturally and linguistically diverse migrant families with infant feeding and active play. These findings support the potential for program refinements and progression to an effectiven…

Is Self‐Compassion Selfish? The Development of Self‐Compassion, Empathy, and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence
Both self-compassion and empathy have been theorized to promote prosociality in youth, but there is little longitudinal data examining this possibility. We assessed self-compassion, empathy, and peer-rated prosociality yearly, in a cohort of 2,078 youth across 17 schools (M age at T1 = 14.65 years; 49.2% female), as they progressed from Grade 9-12. We utilized multi-level modeling to predict prosocial behavior, nested within students, classes, an…
A worthy self is a caring self
OBJECTIVE: Self-compassion has been framed as a healthy alternative to self-esteem, as it is nonevaluative. However, rather than being alternatives, it may be that the two constructs develop in a mutually reinforcing way. The present study tested this possibility among adolescents. METHOD: A large adolescent sample (N = 2,809; 49.8% female) reported levels of trait self-esteem and self-compassion annually for 4 years. Autoregressive cross-lagged …
The development of compulsive internet use and mental health
Is compulsive Internet use (CIU) an antecedent to poor mental health, a consequence, or both? Study 1 used a longitudinal design to track the development of CIU and mental health in Grade 8 (N = 1030 males, 1038 females, Mage = 13.7), 9, 10, and 11. Study 2 extended Study 1 by examining the kinds of Internet behaviors most strongly associated with CIU within males and females. Structural equation modeling revealed that CIU predicted the developme…
Is Self-Esteem a Cause or Consequence of Social Support? A 4-Year Longitudinal Study
Considerable research has been devoted to examining the relations between self-esteem and social support. However, the exact nature and direction of these relations are not well understood. Measures of self-esteem, and social support quantity and quality were administered to 961 adolescents across five yearly time points (Mage = 13.41 years). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to test between a self-esteem antecedent model (self-este…

Scanlon and reasons
Scanlon's account of reasons is essential to his contractualism as a whole, providing an extensive foundation in practical reasoning for his theory. A full understanding of his account of reasons is therefore vital to understanding the nature of Scanlon's contractualism. With the aim of contributing to such an understanding, in this essay I reconstruct several of Scanlon's most significant arguments concerning reasons. I focus on two areas: his d…
