In-store beverage pricing and marketing before and after a sugar-sweetened beverage tax in Newfoundland and Labrador
Objective: Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) introduced Canada’s first excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) in 2022. Industry marketing practices in response to SSB taxation may affect public health impacts. We examined changes in posted beverage pricing and marketing of taxable and non-taxable beverages in NL before and after the SSB tax was implemented. Design: Pre-/post-observational study with in-store audits of beverage prices and mark…
Exploring the driving mechanism of public participation in urban regeneration projects
Evaluating sugar-sweetened beverage tax effects
Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) introduced Canada’s first sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax in September 2022. Compared with national averages, NL has higher intakes of SSBs, lower intakes of plain water and milk, with higher rates of overweight and obesity and diabetes. Taxing SSBs is a recommended intervention but real-world effectiveness of SSB taxes requires more investigation. We evaluated changes in weekly beverage prices and sales pre- and…
The effects of a self-developed virtual reality environment on college EFL learners’ vocabulary learning
In second language acquisition (SLA), vocabulary learning can be a great challenge for some English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Virtual Reality (VR) technology has unleashed its potential in language education, but insufficient attention has yet been paid to its impact on EFL learners’ vocabulary learning. To bridge this gap, we conducted a quasi-experiment based on a self-developed VR platform, in order to investigate the effects of VR…
Beverage consumption among adults in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada prior to the implementation of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax
Our findings align with prior studies of socioeconomic position and SSB consumption in Canada, which collectively demonstrate that, on average, those with less education and income consume more SSBs and fewer unsweetened beverages. This research provides necessary understanding of social patterning of beverage consumption in NL prior to tax implementation. Post-tax evaluations of this policy should investigate potential impacts of the tax on diet…
Dental health status, dentist visiting, and dental insurance of Asian immigrants in Canada
Asian immigrants showed lower dental care utilization and oral health than native-born Canadians
Feasibility and measurement error in using food supply data to estimate diet costs in Canada
Objective: The cost of food is a key influence on diet. The majority of diet cost studies match intake data from population-based surveys to a single source of food supply prices. Our aim was to examine the methodological significance of using food supply data to price dietary intakes. Methods: Nationally representative 24-h dietary recall data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition (CCHS-N) was matched to the 2015 Canadian Cons…
Sociodemographics and their impacts on risk factor awareness and beliefs about cancer and screening
Among adults in NL, there was poor awareness that low-fiber diets, alcohol, and age are risk factors for cancer. Lower income and education, rural residence, and not having a health care provider were associated with lower risk factor awareness. We also found a few associations between sociodemographic factors and beliefs about cancer treatment and outcomes or screening. We stress that while addressing awareness is necessary, so too is improving …
Trajectories of body mass index among Canadian seniors and associated mortality risk
The course of BMI over time in Canadian seniors appears to follow one of four different patterns depending on gender. The findings suggest that men who were overweight at age 65 and lost weight over time had the lowest mortality risk. Interestingly, obese women with decreasing BMI have different mortality risks, depending on their chronic health conditions. The findings provide new insights concerning the associations between BMI and mortality ri…
A preliminary investigation into diet adequacy in senior residents of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
The present study revealed an inadequate consumption of essential nutrients from foods in a noninstitutionalized senior population of NL
Developmental Trajectories of Body Mass Index Throughout Adulthood
Background There is little research that uses group-based trajectory modeling to capture adult body mass index (BMI) trajectories for the Canadian population. Objectives The aims of this study are 1) to identify and determine the number and features of mutually exclusive body mass trajectory groups throughout adulthood; 2) to examine the association between covariates and each BMI trajectory group; 3) to assess whether health consequences vary wi…
