Employment quality and mortality in Canada
BACKGROUND: Research has shown that workers in non-standard (eg, temporary and part-time) employment experience poorer health outcomes than their permanent, full-time counterparts. However, previous studies have overlooked important differences in the quality of non-standard employment. To address this gap, we examined associations between a diverse typology of employment quality and mortality in Canada. METHODS: The 2006 Canadian Health and Envi…
Evaluating regional variation in neighbourhood socioeconomic inequalities in motor vehicle injury collisions
Disadvantaged communities have higher rates of traffic injury. Our goal was to measure regional variation in the association between small-area socioeconomic deprivation and motor vehicle crashes resulting in injury within British Columbia, Canada. We analyzed road traffic injury crashes from universal auto insurance claims (2019-2023) across 16 urban regions of British Columbia, aggregated by census dissemination areas (DAs). We measured socioec…
Traditional activities and general and mental health of adult Indigenous peoples living off-reserve in Canada
Introduction: We examined associations between traditional Indigenous activities and self-perceived general and mental health in adult Indigenous persons living off-reserve in Canada using the 2012 and 2017 Aboriginal Peoples Surveys (APS), the two most recent datasets. We utilized four traditional Indigenous activities including hunting, making clothes or footwear, making arts or crafts, and gathering wild plants to investigate these self-report…
A longitudinal view of successful aging with HIV: Role of resilience and environmental factors
Loneliness and self-rated physical health among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in Vancouver, Canada
Background Due to stigma and discrimination, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) potentially carry a heightened burden of loneliness. This analysis investigates loneliness among gbMSM and its relationship with self-rated physical health, along with the mediating effect of depression. Methods Participants were recruited using respondent-driven sampling into the Momentum Health Study (February 2012–February 2015) with follow-u…
Relationships between cognition, function, and quality of life among HIV+ Canadian men
Bicycling crashes on streetcar (tram) or train tracks: Mixed methods to identify prevention measures
Given our results, prevention efforts might be directed at individual knowledge, bicycle tires, or route design, but their potential for success is likely to differ. Although it may be possible to reach a broader audience with continued advice about how to avoid track crashes, the persistence and frequency of these crashes and their unpredictable circumstances indicates that other solutions are needed. Using tires wider than streetcar or train fl…
Bicycling crash circumstances vary by route type: A cross-sectional analysis
These data supplement our previous analyses of relative risks by route type by indicating the types of crashes that occur on each route type. This information can guide municipal engineers and planners towards improvements that would make cycling safer
Exposure-based Traffic Crash Injury Rates by Mode of Travel in British Columbia
Personal and trip characteristics associated with safety equipment use by injured adult bicyclists: A cross-sectional study
In two of Canada's largest cities, helmets were the most widely used safety equipment. Measures to increase use of visibility aids on both daytime and night-time cycling trips may help prevent crashes
Route Infrastructure and the Risk of Injuries to Bicyclists: A Case-Crossover Study
Objectives. We compared cycling injury risks of 14 route types and other route infrastructure features. Methods. We recruited 690 city residents injured while cycling in Toronto or Vancouver, Canada. A case-crossover design compared route infrastructure at each injury site to that of a randomly selected control site from the same trip. Results. Of 14 route types, cycle tracks had the lowest risk (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.11; 95% confidence in…
Safe Cycling: How Do Risk Perceptions Compare With Observed Risk
Psychosocial factors and treatment adherence in paediatric HIV/Aids
A social ecological model provides a promising framework for understanding the individual, family, and societal factors contributing to non-adherence to treatment of paediatric HIV. This study explored which factors relevant to this model are associated with caregivers' adherence and child health outcomes. A cross-sectional design was utilized to assess relationships among current individual, familial, extra-familial factors, caregiver adherence,…
