The decline in active school transportation (AST)
Trends in concussions at Ontario schools prior to and subsequent to the introduction of a concussion policy - an analysis of the Canadian hospitals injury reporting and prevention program from 2009 to…
The introduction of the PPM may have contributed to a general increase in concussion awareness and an improvement in concussion identification at the school level in children and youth aged 4-18
Childhood road traffic injuries in Canada – a provincial comparison of transport injury rates over time
In Canada, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among children and youth ≤19. Across the country, there is variability in road traffic injury prevention policies and legislation. Our objective was to compare pediatric road traffic related injury hospitalization and death rates across Canadian provinces. Population-based hospitalization and death rates per 100,000 were analyzed using data from the Discharge Abstract Database and pr…
An interprovincial comparison of unintentional childhood injury rates in Canada for the period 2006–2012
A population based study of drowning in Canada
The study results suggest that there may be a need for drowning prevention strategies that are tailored to specific age groups. Rural areas in Canada may also benefit from targeted drowning prevention
An evaluation of evidence-based paediatric injury prevention policies across Canada
There was variation between evidence and the policies related to paediatric injury prevention among Canadian provinces and territories. Experts generally rate their policies more highly when they align with evidence and best practice. There is room for improvement and harmonization of injury prevention policies
Youth injury prevention in Canada
The modified-Delphi process was an appropriate method to achieve agreement on 19 specific evidence-based, policy-oriented recommendations to complement the national youth injury report. In providing their input, it is noted that the injury stakeholders each acted as individual experts, unattached to any organizational position or policy. These recommendations will require multidisciplinary collaborations in order to support the proposed policy de…
The Association Between Frequency of Physical Activity and Mortality Risk Across the Adult Age Span
The association between physical activity frequency and mortality risk is strongest in very old adults. All adults and particularly very old adults may benefit from participating in physical activity five or more times a week
Risk of death in crashes on Ontario’s highways
Our results suggest that interventions to reduce deaths as a result of MVCs should focus on both driver-related and road-related modifications
Characteristics of Self-harm Behaviour among Identified Self-harming Youth in Care
Safety standards and socioeconomic disparities in school playground injuries
Improvements in playground equipment can result in an environment in which students from schools in poorer neighbourhoods are no longer at increased risk of injuries on play equipment
