Strengthening Culturally Responsive Mental Health Supports for Crises Preparedness
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic intensified existing systemic inequities in educator mental health, particularly in rural and remote Indigenous communities. Educators faced sudden shifts to remote learning, limited access to technology, and challenges supporting students' well-being while adapting pedagogical practices. METHODS: This qualitative longitudinal, citizen science study explored culturally grounded digital engagement tools to support…
Validating a Conceptual Framework to Support the Progressive Implementation of Integrated Chronic Disease Management Programs in Primary Care
Background: There remains a gap in evidence on how to support the implementation of effective integrated chronic disease management programs. We developed a 10-mechanism framework based on a decade of empirical findings, to support progressive implementation (scale, spread, and sustainability). The purpose of this study was to augment the framework to include sustainability and validate the framework for use in practice. Approach: A modified Delp…
A potential environmental paradox in India
DiScO
Background: Global health systems are confronting challenges that intersect climate change with evolving communicable and non-communicable public health risks. Addressing these challenges requires systems integration via citizen big data that exist outside health systems. However, systems integration across jurisdictions is a complex challenge that requires stakeholder input. This study's purpose was to conduct rapid systems mapping with internat…
Inverting social innovation to transform health system responses to climate change adaptation and mitigation in the global south
Systems thinking is aimed at understanding and solving complex problems that cut across sectors, an approach that requires accurate, timely, and multisectoral data. Citizen-driven big data can advance systems thinking, considering the widespread use of digital devices. Using digital platforms, data from these devices can transform health systems to predict and prevent global health crises and respond rapidly to emerging crises by providing citize…
Prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia among urban and rural Indian adults in middle age
Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. India has 8.6% of the global elderly (>60 years) population, and this is expected to increase to 20% by 2050. Around 70% of Indians live in rural areas where lifestyle factors like diet and physical activity differ from urban areas. Understanding age, sex and location-specific sarcopenia prevalence in India is crucial. Thus, our aim was to assess the prevalence and determinants of sa…
Influence of parental anthropometry and gestational weight gain on intrauterine growth and neonatal outcomes
Poor foetal growth and subsequent low birth weight are associated with an increased risk for disease later in life. Identifying parental factors that determine foetal growth are important to curbing intergenerational malnutrition, especially among disadvantaged populations in the global south where undernutrition rates are high. The objective of this study was to assess the relationships between parental biometry, intrauterine growth and neonatal…
A five-country study of front- and back-of-package nutrition label awareness and use
Objective: This study aimed to identify correlates of nutrition label awareness and use, particularly subgroup differences among consumers. Two label types were assessed: (1) nutrition facts tables (NFt) in Australia, Canada, Mexico, UK, and USA and (2) front-of-package (FOP) labels, including mandatory Guideline Daily Amounts (Mexico), voluntary Health Star Ratings (Australia) and voluntary Traffic Lights (UK). Design: Respondents were recruited…
The interplay between air pollution, built environment, and physical activity
Awareness, use and understanding of nutrition labels among adults from five countries
Global Matrix 4.0 Physical Activity Report Card Grades for Children and Adolescents
Background : The Global Matrix 4.0 on physical activity (PA) for children and adolescents was developed to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global variation in children’s and adolescents’ (5–17 y) PA, related measures, and key sources of influence. The objectives of this article were (1) to summarize the findings from the Global Matrix 4.0 Report Cards, (2) to compare indicators across countries, and (3) to explore trends related to t…
Decolonizing Digital Citizen Science
Research has historically exploited Indigenous communities, particularly in the medical and health sciences, due to the dominance of discriminatory colonial systems. In many regions across Canada and worldwide, historical and continued injustices have worsened health among Indigenous Peoples. Global health crises such as climate change are most adversely impacting Indigenous communities, as their strong connection to the land means that even subt…
Food insecurity among Canadian youth and young adults
Examination of tools associated with the evaluation of knowledge uptake and utilization
Knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) has become an integral part of organizational practice. Evaluation of KTE, as well as knowledge products generated through this process, is important for understanding the effectiveness of KTE strategies. This scoping review aimed to identify tools and frameworks used to evaluate knowledge uptake and utilization (KUU). The search strategy included review of PubMed and Scopus databases, hand searching of relev…
A systematic review of the evolution of GPS use in active living research
A multi-country survey of public support for food policies to promote healthy diets
The results suggest that support for food policies is influenced by several factors related to the policy design, country, and individual demographic characteristics. Policymakers and advocates should consider these factors when developing and promoting policy options
Global Matrix 3.0 Physical Activity Report Card Grades for Children and Youth
Background : Accumulating sufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity is recognized as a key determinant of physical, physiological, developmental, mental, cognitive, and social health among children and youth (aged 5–17 y). The Global Matrix 3.0 of Report Card grades on physical activity was developed to achieve a better understanding of the global variation in child and youth physical activity and associated supports. Methods : Work group…
Are young Canadians supportive of proposed nutrition policies and regulations? An overview of policy support and the impact of socio-demographic factors on public opinion
Community perspectives on food insecurity and obesity
Food insecurity manifested itself in different ways, and coping strategies were often insufficient for addressing the lack of fruit and vegetable consumption in Aboriginal children's diets. Results suggest that obesity prevention strategies should take a family-targeted approach that considers the unique barriers facing urban Aboriginal populations. This study also reinforces the importance of low income as an important risk factor for obesity am…
