Predictors of Generalized Trust
The ability of self-construals, tolerance for ambiguity and social cynicism to explain variations in generalized trust (individuals’ tendency to trust others), was explored in two individualistic, Canada and the USA, and two collectivistic, China and Taiwan, societies. The predictors accounted for a range of explained variance in generalized trust, from 31% in China to 10% in Canada. In the USA interdependent self-construal provided the greatest …
Key features of programs that integrate informal care
Background: Formal health care systems alone are insufficient to address patients needs for overall health and wellness over the life course. Over 90% of the care people receive is informal. Gaps of most concern include practical support, self-care, social relationships, and activities. Therefore, to scale solutions at a population level, there is a need to understand key features that support integrating informal and formal care across social, m…
Exploring the Impact of Health Care Provider Cultural Competence on New Immigrant Health-Related Quality of Life
Introduction: New immigrants underutilize health care because of multiple barriers. Although culturally competent health care improves access, it is typically assessed by providers, not newcomers whose perceptions matter most. Methodology: Surveys that included measures of cultural competence and health-related quality of life (QOL) were completed by 117 new immigrants in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. A series of stepwise linear regression analyses w…
Être bien attaché à la vie
La sous-utilisation des sièges d’auto pour enfants par les Autochtones du Canada pourrait nous laisser penser que les parents autochtones se préoccupent peu de la sécurité de leurs enfants. Nous déconstruisons cette hypothèse en analysant la constitution de programmes d’intervention visant l’amélioration de la sécurité routière dans deux communautés anicinabek du Québec, Lac-Simon et Kitcisakik. Les préoccupations des membres de ces communautés e…
Extending the Olive Branch
Using data from a study of qualitative researchers' experiences with ethics review and our own lens as both researchers and REB/IRB members, we explore the ethics review process and provide recommendations for improvements. Our findings suggest that the review process would benefit from a strengthened trust relationship between REB/IRBs and qualitative researchers that would require a commitment from both sides. Regarding REBs/IRBs, increased tra…
Analyzing the Impact of Bonding and Bridging Social Capital on Economic Well-Being
In this study we analyze nationally representative data from Canada's General Social Survey to investigate how various indicators of bonding and bridging social capital are associated with economic well-being and how the magnitude of their associations compare with each other. Our findings suggest that several dimensions of bonding social capital, including knowing neighbors well enough to ask favors of them and providing assistance to others, ar…
Differences in the Patterns of Health Care System Distrust Between Blacks and Whites
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Physician Distrust in the United States
Objectives. We examined the racial/ethnic and geographic variation in distrust of physicians in the United States. Methods. We obtained data from the Community Tracking Study, analyzing 20 sites where at least 5% of the population was Hispanic and 5% was Black. Results. In univariate analyses, Blacks and Hispanics reported higher levels of physician distrust than did Whites. Multivariate analyses, however, suggested a complex interaction among so…
