Migration status, discrimination, and recent sexually transmitted infection testing among South Asian gay, bisexual, and other queer men living in Canada
Vaccination experiences and decision-making in older adult Korean immigrants living in Canada
Older adult immigrants face unique challenges in accessing healthcare and preventive health measures, including vaccines. While Asian immigrants in North America generally report high vaccine uptake, studies suggest that Korean immigrants may have lower willingness to vaccinate and experience barriers to healthcare utilization. Understanding the vaccination experiences and decision-making processes of this population is critical to addressing dis…
Can we unplug global health education from The Matrix
Coverage of the influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations among immigrant and non-immigrant older adults in Canada
Overall, we found disparities in influenza and pneumococcal vaccination by immigrant status among older adults in Canada. Further studies on vaccination coverage and decision-making among marginalized communities, including immigrants, are warranted to equitably improve vaccine uptake
Decolonising global health research
Recent debates on decolonizing global health have spurred interest in addressing the power asymmetries and knowledge hierarchies that sustain colonial ideas and relationships in global health research. This paper applies three intersecting dimensions of colonialism (colonialism within global health; colonisation of global health; and colonialism through global health) to develop a broader and more structural understanding of the policies and acti…
How to prevent equity efforts from losing steam in global health academia
In the wake of the killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, there was a strong call to action, first in North America and then globally, to tackle racism and promote racial justice Many universities created "equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism (EDI-AR)" task forces and other mechanisms with goals of transforming institutions entrenched in histories of colonialism and white supremacy. Concurrently, decolonizing global health movements have b…
Re-assessing the social climate of physical (in)activity in Canada
Social-ecological models suggest that a strategy for increasing population physical activity participation is to reconstruct the "social climate" through changing social norms and beliefs about physical activity (PA). In this study, we assessed whether the PA social climate in Canada has changed over a five-year period after controlling for sociodemographic factors and PA levels. Replicating a survey administered in 2018, a sample of adults in Ca…

Impact of the South Asian Adolescent Diabetes Awareness Program (Saadap) on diabetes knowledge, risk perception and health behaviour
Objective: Evidence suggests the increased prevalence of diabetes among South Asian (SA) adolescents is due to their genetic risk profile. The South Asian Adolescent Diabetes Awareness Program (SAADAP) is a pilot intervention for SA youth in Canada with a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We sought to investigate changes in (1) diabetes knowledge and associated risk factors, (2) risk perception and (3) health behaviours among ado…
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Anopheles mosquito control through insecticide treated nets and community-based health programs to prevent malaria in East Sumba Island, Indonesia
With an estimated 241 million human cases and 627,000 deaths in 2020, malaria remains a significant and ongoing global health challenge. This study employs a qualitative approach to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices surrounding mosquito control and prevention methods in East Sumba Regency, Indonesia. While malaria is under control in much of Indonesia, transmission in Sumba Island remains high, with incidence as high as 500 per 1000…
The influence of an all-female healthcare environment on mentorship and empowerment of female healthcare professionals
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have the greatest need for additional healthcare providers, and women outside the workforce help address the need. Women in healthcare need more mentorship and leadership training to advance their careers due to systemic barriers. This study evaluates how women working together on a medical team influences mentorship, leadership and empowerment. A single all-female volunteer team participating in a cleft s…

A Participatory Evaluation Framework for the Implementation of a Transdisciplinary Center for Health Disparities Research
This article describes the participatory evaluation framework for the Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for Health Disparities Research (TCC) funded by the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities. In collaboration with TCC stakeholders, logic models, the McKinlay model, and process and outcome evaluation plans, including quantitative and qualitative methods, have been developed and used to document the impact of the TCC.…
A Pilot Examination of a Mosque-Based Physical Activity Intervention for South Asian Muslim Women in Ontario, Canada
Reported Health Behaviour Changes after a Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus among Ethnic Minority Women Living in Canada
Differences in the Prevalence of Overweight Between 10-12-Year-old South Asian and Non-South Asian Children in Toronto, Ontario
Attending Religious Services and Its Relationship with Coronary Heart Disease and Related Risk Factors in Older Adults
The Relationship Between Religious Service Attendance and Coronary Heart Disease and Related Risk Factors in Saskatchewan, Canada
Research suggests that attending religious services could provide small yet important protective benefits against coronary heart disease (CHD) and CHD risk factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension). The extent to which these benefits apply to Canada deserves study because approximately one-third of adult Canadians attend religious services at least monthly. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the association between frequency of rel…
Contextual determinants of health behaviours in an aboriginal community in Canada
The built environment, access and affordability of healthy food and tobacco on the Six Nations Reserve are not perceived favourably. Modification of these contextual factors described here may reduce adverse health behaviours in the community
