Traveling Out-of-State for First Trimester Medication Abortion
Preferences for abortion access among people living in Texas post-Dobbs
Since the passage of Texas Senate Bill 8 and the Dobbs decision, Texas residents are navigating new and additional multi-level barriers to abortion care. Many Texas residents are choosing to travel out-of-state for abortion care. As part of a broader mixed-methods project designing a preference solicitation survey, we conducted interviews with individuals living in Texas, recruited via community networks, about their decision-making preferences w…
Between cultures and traditions
Immigrant adolescents in Canada face challenges accessing accurate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services. Many challenges stem from taboos associated with SRH, cultural and religious restrictions, and social beliefs regarding the unnecessity of SRH education for adolescents. We explored the SRH experiences of immigrant adolescents in the context of their cultural and religious perspectives. We engaged adolescents as collab…
Healthcare Provider Narratives of the Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Pregnant and Parenting Youth in Canada
The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant challenges for healthcare providers working with pregnant and parenting youth. However, the impacts of the pandemic on this population and healthcare services from the perspective of healthcare providers are not well documented in Canada. We examined the narratives and experiences of healthcare providers regarding these impacts and explored the challenges to service provision. Using a qualitative interpret…
Will I survive this?“
Pregnant and parenting youth in Canada encountered various barriers while accessing health and social services, maintaining their well-being, and connecting with reliable sources of support during the pandemic. Our study findings emphasize the urgent need for adaptable and comprehensive support systems explicitly catering to the needs of pregnant and parenting youth during crises, such as the pandemic
Prevalence and risk factors for avian influenza virus (H5 and H9) contamination in peri-urban and rural live bird markets in Bangladesh
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) have been frequently detected in live bird markets (LBMs) around the world, primarily in urban areas, and have the ability to spillover to other species, including humans. Despite frequent detection of AIV in urban LBMs, the contamination of AIV on environmental surfaces in rural and peri-urban LBMs in Bangladesh is poorly documented. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the prevalence of AIV subtypes with…
Pregnancy intentions of young women in Canada in the era of climate change
We aimed to identify the ways in which climate change may impact youth decisions to have a family. Further research on this topic is needed to understand the prevalence of this phenomenon, and to build such considerations into climate action policy and family planning tools used among young people
Skateboarding, gentle activism, and the animation of public space
This paper examines the interplay of leisure, activism and the animation of public space by exploring CITE – A Celebration of Skateboard Arts and Culture, an art installation and pop-up skate park featuring skateable sculptures constructed in commemoration of Toronto skateboarder Justin Bokma. CITE, which took place in the summer of 2018, deliberately transformed The Bentway, a new public space and programming platform in Toronto which has transf…
Implementation of shared decision-making in healthcare policy and practice
Background: Despite the suggested benefits of shared decision-making (SDM), its implementation in policy and practice has been slow and inconsistent. Use of complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory may provide understanding of how healthcare system factors influence implementation of SDM. Methods: Using the example of choice of mode of birth after a previous caesarean section, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients, provid…
Anthropology and Occupational Therapy in Community-based Practice
Anthropology and occupational therapy concepts can be successfully integrated in the practical application of services within a community-based program for low-income residents, primarily immigrants and refugees, living in a large urban apartment complex. As this article will highlight, there are advantages inherent in this collaborative interdisciplinary approach. Occupational therapy benefits from anthropology's broad view of systems, power, me…

Cognitive control skills important for success in school and life are amenable to improvement in at-risk preschoolers without costly interventions.
