Does outdoor advertising correlate with retail food purchases made by adolescents? A cross-sectional study in Canada
Food marketing plays a substantial role in shaping adolescent diets, having wide-ranging ramifications for health behaviours and outcomes throughout the life course. Yet, there remains a dearth of research about how outdoor advertising as a specific channel of food marketing affects purchasing behaviours. We examine self-reported purchases made at retail food outlets by adolescents as it relates to the availability of outdoor food and beverage ad…
What Gets Measured Gets Counted
Food and nutrition services are critical to the health of long-term care home (LTCH) residents, yet little is known about how regulatory inspections detect non-compliance with Food, Nutrition, and Hydration (FNH) standards. We conducted a cross-sectional study of administrative inspection data from all licensed LTCHs in Ontario, Canada. One inspection report was randomly selected per LTCH, yielding a sample of 623 LTCHs. The data were collected f…
The shifting riskscape
The substantial changes in accessibility to alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco warrant further investigation, particularly focusing on how these shifting riskscapes influence consumption patterns, disparities in harm, and long-term health outcomes
Restaurant survival during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic placed considerable stress on restaurants from restrictions placed on their operations, shifting consumer confidence, rapid expansion of remote work arrangements and aggressive uptake of third-party delivery services. Industry reports suggest that restaurants are experiencing a much higher rate of failure in comparison to other sectors of the economy. Restaurant survival was assessed in the Middlesex–London region of Ontario…
The effect of non-medical cannabis retailer proximity on use of mental health services for psychotic disorders in Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND: Cannabis is associated with the onset and persistence of psychotic disorders. Evidence suggests that accessibility of substances is associated with an increased risk of use-related harms. We sought to examine the effect of residing in proximity to non-medical cannabis retailers on the prevalence of health service use for psychosis. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using linked health administrative data, and used geospati…

Household food wasting in a net‐zero energy neighbourhood
To address the prominent “value‐action gap” within pro‐environmental behaviour, this novel, cross‐sectional study investigated relationships between household food wasting and pro‐environmentalism. Research was undertaken in 11 neighbourhoods across London, Ontario, Canada, including a net‐zero energy neighbourhood. A direct measurement methodology was used to measure household food waste, and a survey was created to measure knowledge, attitudes,…
Nicotine and Nicotine-Free Vaping Behavior among a Sample of Canadian High School Students
Youth vaping is a public health concern in Canada. Researchers have explored factors associated with vape use, but rarely differentiated between types of use. This study estimates the prevalence and correlations among past-month nicotine vaping, nicotine-free vaping, and dual-use vaping (nicotine and nicotine-free) in grades 9-12 high school students. Data came from the 2019 Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CSTADS). The total s…
Validating the Perceived Active School Travel Enablers and Barriers–Parent (Pasteb–P) Questionnaire to Support Intervention Programming and Research
A child's ability to participate in active school travel (AST) is complicated by several factors. Of particular note are parental controls, which are informed by their perceptions of the local built and social environments, assessments of their child's skills, and convenience preferences, among other considerations. However, there is currently a lack of AST-specific scales that include validated parental perception measures related to such notabl…
A randomized control trial of a Canadian-based school food program on the home food environment
Research provides evidence of take-home effects in school-based nutrition interventions, citing children as important influencers of family nutrition, acting as agents of change in the household and potentially influencing family food consumption. Therefore, the purpose of this randomized control trial was to examine whether implementation of a centrally procured school food program would produce changes in children’s home food environment, inclu…
Fruit and Vegetable Intake Is Associated with Food Knowledge among Children Aged 9–14 Years in Southwestern Ontario, Canada
Interventions to improve dietary quality and intake of fruits and vegetables (FV) among Canadian children have had modest success, and it has been suggested that food knowledge could be key to improvement. Programs have been criticized for insufficiently connecting food knowledge with food skills and decision making about dietary intake. The objective of this study was to investigate factors associated with FV consumption by elementary school chi…
Examining how children's gender influences parents’ perceptions of the local environment and their influence on children's independent mobility
Physical inactivity among children is a public health concern. Children's ability to travel independently is associated with increased physical activity and social connectedness. Consequently, it is concerning that children's independent mobility has decreased in recent years. Studies have highlighted that rates of independent mobility vary by gender; this study analyzed how correlates of independent mobility vary between boys (n = 476) and girls…
Parents’ Report of Canadian Elementary School Children’s Physical Activity and Screen Time during the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 public health protocols have altered children's daily routines, limiting their physical activity opportunities. The purpose of this study was to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected children's (ages 10-12 years) physical activity and screen time, and to explore the impact of gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and public health constraints (i.e., facility use and social interaction) on the changes in children's health behaviors. On…
Outcome evaluation of fruits and vegetables distribution interventions in schools
Objective: Fruits and vegetables (FV) distribution interventions have been implemented as a public health strategy to increase children’s intake of FV at school settings. The purpose of this review was to examine whether snack-based FV distribution interventions can improve school-aged children’s consumption of FV. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of articles published in English, in a peer-reviewed journals, were identified by searchi…
Examining how changes in provincial policy on vape marketing impacted the distribution of vaping advertisements near secondary schools in London, Ontario
The provincial ban of vaping advertisements in select retail settings significantly reduced the number of vaping advertisements in the areas surrounding secondary schools in London, Ontario. The ban also reduced socio-demographic inequities in youths' potential exposure to marketing of vaping products. Continued monitoring of the geographic accessibility and promotion of vaping products is warranted

Food for naught
To better understand food wasting behaviour, the theory of planned behaviour was used to inform the development of a survey which was administered to households in London, Ontario, Canada. Respondent households (n = 1,263) threw out avoidable food waste 4.77 times/week (SD = 4.81, Mdn = 4.0) and 5.89 food portions/week (SD = 5.66, Mdn = 4.0). When asked to choose one of three possible motivators to reduce food wasting behaviour, 58.9% selected re…
Socioeconomic Status and Adverse Birth Outcomes
This study assessed the strength of the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth (PTB) in Southwestern Ontario. Utilizing perinatal and neonatal databases at the London Health Science Centre, maternal postal codes were entered into a Geographic Information System to determine home neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods were defined by dissemination areas (DAs). Median household income for each DA was ext…
