Navigating data standards in public health
Data standardization offers significant benefits for industry and regulators alike, suggesting that it should be easy. In practice, however, the process has been hard and slow moving. Moving from an abstract incentive-based analysis to one focused on institutional detail reveals myriad frictions favoring the status quo despite foregone gains – Richard Berner and Kathryn Judge [...]
Overview of retrospective data harmonisation in the MINDMAP project
Background The MINDMAP project implemented a multinational data infrastructure to investigate the direct and interactive effects of urban environments and individual determinants of mental well-being and cognitive function in ageing populations. Using a rigorous process involving multiple teams of experts, longitudinal data from six cohort studies were harmonised to serve MINDMAP objectives. This article documents the retrospective data harmonisa…
The Potential for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Prevention of a Harmonized Approach to Data Collection about Alcohol Use in Pregnancy Cohort Studies
Prenatal alcohol exposure is a leading cause of disability, and a major public health concern in Canada. There are well-documented barriers for women and for service providers related to asking about alcohol use in pregnancy. Confidential research is important for learning about alcohol use before, during and after pregnancy, in order to inform fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) prevention strategies. The Research Advancement through Cohort C…
Mindmap
MINDMAP is a novel research collaboration that is combining population-based cohort data with publicly available datasets not typically used for ageing and mental well-being research. Integration of various data sources and observational units into a single platform will help to explain the differences in ageing-related mental and cognitive disorders both within as well as between cities in Europe, the US, Canada, and Russia and to assess the cau…
Linking Canadian Population Health Data
O3-5.4 Datashield
Contemporary research in biosocial science can demand vast sample sizes. Often, data must be aggregated across several studies or data sources to provide adequate power. When a pooled analysis is required, analytic efficiency and flexibility are typically best served by combining the individual-level data from all sources and analysing them as a single large data set. But valid ethico-legal constraints can prohibit or discourage the sharing of in…
Traffic intensity, dwelling value, and hospital admissions for respiratory disease among the elderly in Montreal (Canada)
Background: Persons exposed to residential traffic have increased rates of respiratory morbidity and mortality. As poverty is an important determinant of ill health, some have argued that these associations may relate to the lower socioeconomic status of those living along major roads. Aims: The objective was to evaluate the association between traffic intensity at home and hospital admissions for respiratory disease among Montreal residents of 6…
