Insight into Post-Pandemic Needs in Healthcare and Well-Being Among Francophone Families in the Canadian Prairies
Francophone populations outside Quebec were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Despite French being one of Canada's official languages, access to information and services in French remains limited. This study examined Francophone families' (FF) post-pandemic health and well-being needs (PPHW) in the Canadian Prairie provinces. An online survey assessed PPHW needs among 319 FF in Alberta (AB), Saskatchewan (SK), and Manitoba (MB).…

Refugees’ Care Experiences, Self-Reported Health Outcomes and Transition to Mainstream Health Care After One Year at the Refugee Engagement and Community Health (Reach) Clinic
This study reports how refugees experienced care at an integrated clinic during their first year in Canada and how they transitioned to a community physician. A survey was completed by 75 Government Assisted Refugees followed at the REACH clinic between 2018 and 2020; 16 agreed to an additional interview. Regression modelling explored the relationship between "perceived health status at one year" and several independent variables. Qualitative the…
Improving Access to Health Services in French: The Power of Networking and Knowledge Mobilization, a Proven Canadian Model
Language barriers have a detrimental impact on access to health services and compromise patients’ safety. The purpose of this article is to describe and evaluate how the Société Santé en français (SSF) and the 16 French Language Health (FLH) networks used networking and knowledge mobilization for improving access to health services in French for Francophone and Acadian minority communities (FAMC). Method: Data was extracted from the 2013-2018 pro…

Healthy Start—Départ Santé: A pilot study of a multilevel intervention to increase physical activity, fundamental movement skills and healthy eating in rural childcare centres
Lost in Policy Translation: Canadian Minority Francophones and Health Disparities
We reviewed Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial policies related to the health of official language minorities (OLMs) and found important provincial and territorial differences as well as policies penalizing OLMs, which thus contribute significantly to health disparities and to the low vitality of OLM communities. These findings suggest the need for more aggressive, hands-on, and concerted federal and provincial/territorial government e…
Determinants of self-rated health of Francophone seniors in a minority situation in Canada
Current trends show that governments and health institutions in Canada and other developed nations are responding inadequately to the growing need for health services of the increasingly aging population. The Analysis of Statistics Canada’s 2006 post-census Survey on the Vitality of Official Language Minorities show that in addition to age and other socio-demographic determinants, linguistic barriers affect the self-rated health of seniors of off…
Validation of Standardization Methodology to Minimize Measurement Bias Due to Systematic Accelerometer Wear-Time Variation in Preschoolers, Adolescents, and Adults
Introduction Increasingly, physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SED) are independently being associated with physical, mental and emotional well-being. The heightened research interest in this area has resulted in an upsurge of accelerometer usage to objectively quantify PA and SED. However, these epidemiological investigations consistently ignore systematic variation in the number of hours participants wear accelerometers each day (i.…

SP6-2 Characteristics and determinants of self-rated health of minority Francophone seniors living in Canada and their access to health services in French
Research in the US particularly has contributed to a lot of what is known about the difficulties that linguistic minorities face in accessing and using health services. Studies need to be conducted in Canada to refine and improve knowledge on the matter. The literature is virtually unanimous that seniors do not enjoy the same level of health as the general population. Canadian studies have found that the health status of seniors declines with inc…
