Income Inequalities in Cardiovascular Health Among Children and Adolescents, Young Adults, and Middle-Aged Adults in Canada
While socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular health are well-documented among older adults, evidence in younger populations is limited. This study assessed income inequalities in cardiovascular health among children and adolescents (6-17 years), young adults (18-39 years), and middle-aged adults (40-64 years) in Canada from 2007 to 2019. This serial cross-sectional study included 25,538 respondents from six biennial cycles of the nationally…
The association between positive parent–child interaction and mental health outcomes in children aged 1–11 years in Canada
While it is theorized that positive PCI is predictive of child mental health, this study did not find a consistent association, except for the frequency at which the parent laughs with the child. This suggests that PCI, as measured in CHSCY, is not a strong indicator of child mental health. Yet, as PCI is an important parenting concept, the PCI items in the CHSCY may not adequately capture the intended construct. Future studies should consider as…
Inequities in sleep duration and quality among adolescents in Canada
Differences in sleep duration and quality were most profound among adolescents from the lowest and highest SES. Racial disparities were more evident on weekdays. Compensatory weekend sleep appears more pronounced in females than males. Addressing sleep inequities is critical, as a robust predictor of multiple health outcomes
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies among children receiving primary care in Toronto, Ontario
Sleep duration change among adolescents in Canada
Increases in sleep duration may be one of the few benefits to adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic but were not equally distributed across sub-populations. Efforts to promote better sleep adherence may need to account for sex/gender differences, especially in less urbanized areas and certain racial/ethnic groups
Early (years) reactions
This analysis gives insight into initial government reactions to support children and families, and opportunities for governments to implement further supportive programs and policies during the current pandemic and future emergencies
Public health preventive measures and child health behaviours during Covid-19
Public health preventive measures during COVID-19 were associated with a negative impact on the health behaviours of Canadian children living in a large metropolitan area
How can we support best practice? A situational assessment of injury prevention practice in public health
The results of this study suggest that there are several system level needs to support best practice in public health injury prevention in Ontario including reducing research to practice gaps and supporting opportunities for collaboration. Our research contributes to the literature of the complexity of public health practice, and presents several mechanisms of support to increase capacity at a system level to improve injury prevention practice, a…
Strengthening public health nutrition
Objective: To assess public health nutrition practice within the public health system in Ontario, Canada to identify provincial-wide needs for scientific and technical support. Design: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted to identify activities, strengths, challenges and opportunities in public health nutrition practice using semi-structured key informant interviews ( n 21) and focus groups ( n 10). Recorded notes were analysed concurren…
The diffusion of global discourses
We examine how organizational actors use global legal, humanitarian, and development discourses in their work supporting educational services for refugees to better understand how the transfer of ideas and norms emanating within global organizations affects educational programming for refugees. We ask: (1) To what extent do organizations reference global legal, humanitarian, and development documents in their work? And, (2) How do linkages with U…
Methodological approaches to the design and analysis of nonrandomized intervention studies for the prevention of child and adolescent obesity
Severe obesity in children 17 to 24 months of age
Difficulty buying food, BMI, and eating habits in young children
Mandatory labeling requirements and over-the-counter cough and cold medication use in early childhood
Non-Western immigrant children have lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D than children from Western families
Objective To determine if children aged 1–6 years from non-Western immigrant families have lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels than children from Western-born families and examine which factors influence this relationship. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Toronto, Canada. Subjects Healthy children ( n 1540) recruited through the TARGet Kids! practice-based research network. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations of non-Western immigrants …
