Are quantitative targets for social network size and interaction frequency appropriate for public health guidelines on social connection? Evidence from loneliness and related mental health outcomes
Introduction Public health guidelines for social connection seek to address loneliness and its health consequences at the population level. Although some approaches suggest specific numeric targets (e.g., frequency of social interaction), the empirical basis for these thresholds remains unclear. We aimed to identify such thresholds for loneliness and related mental health outcomes and test their stability across strata of mental health. Methods W…
Content, quality, gaps and needs in sexuality education in Canada
Comprehensive sexuality education is associated with a wide range of improved health and social outcomes. However, the quality and scope of sexual health education in Canada varies, with particular gaps for sexuality and gender minority (SGM) young people. Using quantitative data drawn from a national survey of 463 SGM youth (aged 15–29) in Canada, we explored the quality and scope of the sexuality education received and identified gaps. Only 25.…
Diverse community perspectives on public health guidelines for social connection
Loneliness and social isolation harm mental and physical health, yet existing public health strategies often fail to reflect the lived realities of equity-owed communities. To address this gap, our team has been developing potential public health guidelines aimed at fostering social connection in Canada. This study sought to engage five communities facing structural inequities (i.e. 2S/LGBTQ+ individuals, racialized communities, Indigenous people…
Do Rural–Urban Differences in Social Environments Act as Barriers to Social Wellbeing? A Cross-Sectional Study
Loneliness and social isolation are pressing public health concerns, prompting interest in how rural and urban environments shape social wellbeing. However, evidence remains mixed—perhaps because loneliness is a distal psychological outcome with complex, trait-like stability. To address this, we examined geographic variation in upstream patterns of social activity using data from the 2023 Canadian Social Connection Survey (N = 1556). The principa…

Mitigating invalid data bias in the estimation of sexual orientation disparities in a survey of youth in US and Canada
The current commentary explored the applicability of the methods described in “Mitigating invalid and mischievous survey responses: A registered report examining risk disparities between heterosexual and lesbian, gay, bisexual, or questioning youth” by Dr. Joseph Cimpian and colleagues to explore sexual orientation disparities in preexisting data from a nonprobability sample. Understanding Affirming Communities, Relationships, and Networks was a …
Trends in mental health and smoking disparities between sexual minority and heterosexual adults in Canada, 2003–2020
Sexual minority populations experience a higher burden of mental health and substance use/misuse conditions than heterosexual comparators-a health inequality that has predominantly been attributed to forms of minority stress experienced by the former group. Sexual minority-affirming legislative and policy advances, as well as improvements in social attitudes toward sexual minorities in recent decades, should presumably reduce experiences of minor…
Association between pregnancy planning or intention and early child development
The Sustainable Development Goals have a specific target to “ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development” by 2030. There is sparse literature regarding the impact of pregnancy intention (wantedness and timing) or planning on child development. We aimed to summarize the evidence measuring the association between unintended or unplanned pregnancy and child development for children aged 3 to 5. We included studi…
Unwanted or Mistimed Pregnancy and Developmental Issues in Ecuadorian Children Aged 3 to 5
An Intersectional Analysis of Moral Distress and Intention to Leave Employment Among Long-Term Care Providers in British Columbia
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between intersectional inequities and moral distress among those working in Long-Term Care (LTC) in British Columbia, Canada. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and retrospective study. We assessed moral distress, of 1678 respondents, using a modified Moral Distress Scale, and an equivalent distress mitigation score, at the intersections of gender and racial/ethnic identity. Then, w…
Resistencia Bacteriana en Infecciones Hospitalarias Y Adquiridas Y Su Relación Con Hábitos De Prescripción De Antibióticos
La resistencia bacteriana está en relación con el uso, mal uso y abuso de los antibióticos, es un problema global, complejo; incluye un gran número de especies bacterianas de importancia médica y es de difícil control por su multicausalidad. Uno de los factores más importantes está relacionado con la prescripción empírica de los antibióticos. El objetivo de la investigación es determinar el soporte en el que se sustenta la prescripción de antibió…
