Exploring the implementation of a new voluntary occupational health and safety program in Ontario, Canada
Objectives: The adoption of voluntary occupational health and safety (OHS) interventions has increased over the last three decades. This research explores the practical implications of implementing a new OHS program designed to appeal to a broad range of firms in Ontario, Canada. It also describes the process of providing findings as real-time evidence to program administrators for early program improvement. Methods: Key informant interviews were…
Investigating young adults’ mental health and early working life trajectories from a life course perspective
BACKGROUND: Many young adults leave the labour market because of mental health problems or never really enter it, through early moves onto disability benefits. Across many countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, between 30% and 50% of all new disability benefit claims are due to mental health problems; among young adults this moves up to 50%-80%. OUTLINE: We propose a research agenda focused on transitions in buil…
Out of the labour force and out of school
This study examines youth mental health at the nexus of work and education, with a focus on youth who are both out of the labour force and out of school. Using data from a nationally representative sample of Canadian youth ages 15–29 (n = 4883), this study examines the relationship between self-reported symptoms of depression, distress, and life-satisfaction and five distinct categories of labour market and educational attachment (employed non-st…
Age, sex, and the changing disability burden of compensated work-related musculoskeletal disorders in Canada and Australia
The compensated disability burden of work-related MSDs is shifting towards older workers and particularly older females in Australia and older males in Canada. Employers and workers' compensation boards should consider the specific needs of older workers to reduce injuries and time off work. Comparative research made possible through research-stakeholder partnerships offers a unique opportunity to use existing administrative data to identify long…
Unemployment and Mortality
Objectives. We examined the relationship between unemployment and mortality in Germany, a coordinated market economy, and the United States, a liberal market economy. Methods. We followed 2 working-age cohorts from the German Socio-economic Panel and the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1984 to 2005. We defined unemployment as unemployed at the time of survey. We used discrete-time survival analysis, adjusting for potential confounders. Res…

How Can Research Organizations More Effectively Transfer Research Knowledge to Decision Makers?
A pplied research organizations invest a great deal of time, and research funders invest a great deal of money generating and (one hopes) transferring research knowledge that could inform decisions about health and health care. Basing these knowledge‐transfer activities on our evolving understanding of the most effective approaches to knowledge transfer will help us achieve value for money in our individual and collective investments in health se…

were coronary artery disease (33%), cancer (25%), stroke (10%), pneumonia (8%), Alzheimer’s dementia (4%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4%). Of the 23 deaths from cancer, the most common sites were lung (24%), gastrointestinal (17%), hematological (17%), and genitourinary (13%).

Do Canadian Civil Servants Care About the Health of Populations
Objectives. This article describes Canadian civil servants’ awareness of, attitudes toward, and self-reported use of ideas about the determinants of health. Methods. Federal and provincial civil servants in departments of finance, labor, social services, and health were surveyed. Results. With civil servants in finance departments a notable exception, most Canadian civil servants see the health of populations as a relevant outcome for their secto…
Income Inequality, Household Income, and Health Status in Canada
Objectives. This study sought to determine whether income inequality, household income, and their interaction are associated with health status. Methods. Income inequality and area income measures were linked to data on household income and individual characteristics from the 1994 Canadian National Population Health Survey and to data on self-reported health status from the 1994, 1996, and 1998 survey waves. Results. Income inequality was not ass…
