Long-term back problems and physical work exposures in the 1990 Ontario Health Survey
OBJECTIVES. This study sought to provide data on the relationship of work exposures to long-term back problems in a population survey. METHODS. The Ontario Health Survey in 1990 used a representative population sample of the province. It included data on long-term back problems, occupational activity, and physical work exposures. The current study examined relationships between these variables. RESULTS. The prevalence of long-term back problems w…
The impact of a public health nurse intervention on influenza vaccine acceptance
Public health clients in an Ontario community 65 years of age or older were randomly allocated to receive an intervention by a public health nurse during a home visit promoting either influenza immunization or safety measures. There was no statistically significant differences in influenza immunization rates between these two groups (56.1% vs 56.6%). Men were significantly more likely to receive immunization

The development and application of indices of health: General methods and a summary of results
A multidisciplinary group has developed a health index questionnaire designed to measure the social, emotional, and physical function of free-living populations. The strategy has been found to be generally applicable, capable of application by lay interviewers, acceptable to interviewees, and amenable to index construction. Furthermore, initial evaluations of the resulting health indices suggest that they are biologically and clinically valid. Th…
