  • Populism’s Crowds

    Jason FrankARTICLECurrent Anthropology2026Referencias: 16

    Donald Trump’s fascination with crowds is not anomalous but characteristic of contemporary popular authoritarianism’s bid to “body forth” the people in the form of public assemblies. For popular authoritarian movements on the Right, there is nothing unusual in sustaining the politics of popular mobilization, mass assembly, and demonstration between elections. Indeed, it is highly characteristic of these movements. How should we understand the pat…

  • Epidemiological criteria for causation applied to human health harms from RF-EMF exposure

    Open AccessJason Frank, John William FrankARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Purpose: This paper reviews the applicability of standard epidemiological criteria for causation, to the multidisciplinary studies of RF-EMF exposure and various adverse biological and health effects, with the aim of demonstrating that these criteria, although 60 years old, are still helpful in this context-albeit in some cases not entirely straightforward to apply. Methods: This is a commentary, based on Bradford Hill's criteria for assessing ev…

  • The bio-psycho-social determinants of health

    Open AccessJason FrankARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2025Referencias: 40

    In the mid-1980s, a remarkable polymath, Dr Fraser Mustard, founded the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (now CIFAR - https://cifar.ca/ ), as a unique way to develop, across Canadian and selected international universities, over a dozen multi-disciplinary groups of researchers tackling major intellectual challenges of that era. Among these groups was the Population Health Program (PHP), led for its initial decade by the brilliant Canadian…

  • Open access publishing - noble intention, flawed reality

    Open AccessJason Frank, Rosemary Foster et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2023Citada por: 5Referencias: 37

    For two decades, the international scholarly publishing community has been embroiled in a divisive debate about the best model for funding the dissemination of scientific research. Some may assume that this debate has been thoroughly resolved in favour of the Open Access (OA) model of scientific publishing. Recent commentaries reveal a less settled reality. This narrative review aims to lay out the nature of these deep divisions among the sector'…

  • Comparison of mortality hazard ratios associated with health behaviours in Canada and the United States

    Open AccessStacey Fisher, Carol Bennett et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Even when methodological and population differences are minimal, the association of health behaviours and mortality can vary across populations. It is therefore important to be cautious of between-study variation when aggregating relative effect estimates from differing populations, and when using external effect estimates for population health research and policy development

  • Controlling the obesity pandemic

    Open AccessJason FrankARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 33

    The ongoing obesity pandemic threatens the health of hundreds of millions globally. However, to date, no country has had much success in limiting its growth, let alone reversing it. This commentary demonstrates the relevance to the obesity pandemic of the public health conceptual framework of epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose, first published as "Sick Individuals and Sick Populations" in 1985. That framework provides a useful way to analyze the pandem…

  • The Democratic Sublime

    Jason Frank, Jason R FrankBOOKDemocratic Sublime2021

    The transition from royal to popular sovereignty during the age of democratic revolutions—from 1776 to 1848—entailed not only the reorganization of institutions of governance and norms of political legitimacy, but also a dramatic transformation in the iconography and symbolism of political power. The representational difficulties posed by the replacement of the personal and external rule of the king, whose body was the tangible locus of authority…

  • Electromagnetic fields, 5G and health

    Jason FrankARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2021Referencias: 13

    New fifth generation (5G) telecommunications systems, now being rolled out globally, have become the subject of a fierce controversy. Some health protection agencies and their scientific advisory committees have concluded that there is no conclusive scientific evidence of harm. Several recent reviews by independent scientists, however, suggest that there is significant uncertainty on this question, with rapidly emerging evidence of potentially ha…

  • National monitoring systems for health inequalities by socioeconomic status – an OECD snapshot

    Open AccessJason Frank, Etsuko MatsunagaARTICLECritical Public Health2020

    We assess the extent and quality of High-Income Countries’ (HIC) practices in monitoring Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health (SIH) through routine data collection/collation and analysis systems. Official websites of government authorities of eligible countries were examined for any reports containing data on SIH, which were assessed for quality from an epidemiological perspective, using published guidelines for monitoring of socioeconomic inequa…

  • The impact of increasing the minimum legal age for work on school attendance in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessOduro Oppong-Nkrumah, Jay S Kaufman et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2019

    Several countries have increased their legal minimum age for work in line with international conventions on child labor. We evaluated the effect of increasing the legal minimum age for work on school attendance in 3 low- and middle-income countries using difference-in-differences analyses. Increasing the legal minimum age for work increased school attendance by 3.0 (0.2, 5.8) percentage-points in Malawi, and 2.0 (0.2, 3.6) percentage-points in Co…

  • New forms of data for understanding low- and middle-income countries’ health inequalities

    Open AccessJason Frank, John W Frank et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2018

    In most LMICs, monitoring socioeconomic inequalities in health, to comply with SDG #10, relies on Demographic and Health Surveys, which are typically expensive, complex, infrequent and insufficiently powered to provide data suitable for planning local health services

  • Canadian report card on health equity across the life-course

    Open AccessAlexandra Blair, Arjumand Siddiqi et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2018

    Addressing social determinants of health (SDoH) has been acknowledged as an essential objective for the promotion of both population health and health equity. Extant literature has identified seven potential areas of investment to address SDoH: investments in sexual and reproductive health and family planning, early learning and child care, education, universal health care, as well as investments to reduce child poverty, ensure sustainable econom…

  • Credibility of subgroup analyses by socioeconomic status in public health intervention evaluations

    Open AccessGordon Inglis, Daryll Archibald et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2018

    There is increasing interest amongst researchers and policy makers in identifying the effect of public health interventions on health inequalities by socioeconomic status (SES). This issue is typically addressed in evaluation studies through subgroup analyses, where researchers test whether the effect of an intervention differs according to the socioeconomic status of participants. The credibility of such analyses is therefore crucial when making…

  • Economic policy and the double burden of malnutrition

    Open AccessAlice Conklin, Annalijn I Conklin et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective To examine changes in minimum wage associated with changes in women’s weight status. Design Longitudinal study of legislated minimum wage levels (per month, purchasing power parity-adjusted, 2011 constant US dollar values) linked to anthropometric and sociodemographic data from multiple Demographic and Health Surveys (2000–2014). Separate multilevel models estimated associations of a $10 increase in monthly minimum wage with the rate of…

  • Populism and Praxis

    Jason FrankCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Populism2017

    This chapter argues that contemporary democratic theory’s approach to populism has been unduly influenced by Carl Schmitt’s theory of political identification. Both liberal critics and radical democratic admirers of populism have focused attention on the question of who the people are (“the boundary problem”) while neglecting the related question of how the people act (“the enactment problem”). This framework obscures the central importance of po…

  • Relationship between trying an electronic cigarette and subsequent cigarette experimentation in Scottish adolescents

    Open AccessCatherine Best, Farhana Haseen et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2017

    Young never smokers are more likely to experiment with cigarettes if they have tried an e-cigarette. Causality cannot be inferred, but continued close monitoring of e-cigarette use in young people is warranted

  • How has child growth around adiposity rebound altered in Scotland since 1990 and what are the risk factors for weight gain using the Growing Up in Scotland birth cohort 1

    Open AccessLarry Doi, Lawrence Doi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    This study has shown that there is a substantial shift in the general population distribution of BMI since 1990. We identified maternal weight status as the strongest obesogenic factor and this is an indication that more innovative obesity preventive strategies should also consider intergenerational approaches

  • Relationship between e-cigarette point of sale recall and e-cigarette use in secondary school children

    Open AccessCatherine Best, Farhana Haseen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    This study has found a cross-sectional association between self-reported recall of e-cigarette POS displays and use of, and intention to use, e-cigarettes. The magnitude of this association is comparable to that between tobacco point of sale recall and intention to use traditional cigarettes in the same sample. Further longitudinal data is required to confirm a causal relationship between e-cigarette point of sale exposure and their use and futur…
