A Social Ecology of Youth and Planetary Wellbeing in Various Contexts
The United Nations has identified overarching ecological, climate and social crises as causes of unprecedented declines in human wellbeing in 90% of the world’s countries and cautioned about a “generational catastrophe” for youth wellbeing (2020). This paper presents our process and methods of working alongside youth in Chile, Canada, Costa Rica, and Belize in our Partnership for Youth and Planetary Wellbeing project. We describe our social ecolo…
Keyboard warriors ? Visualising technology and well-being with, for and by indigenous youth through digital stories
The Young Lives Research Laboratory is concerned with the lives of modern youth from education to technology to mental health. Technology is ubiquitous in the day to day lives of young people in Canada but little is known about the ways in which digital media affects their mental health, especially for Indigenous youth. Research seldom engages youth to clarify and or interrogate digital media and well-being. This paper addresses the dearth of emp…
Policy activism with and for youth in transition through public education
This paper provides an analysis of international literature and focus group data arising from a three-year critical ethnographic study with 795 young people, educators and parents speaking about transitions through public education in Canada. It fills fissures in qualitative and process-based sociological work on youth transitions and redresses school transitions as critical, nested social ensembles. Moving from elementary to secondary school evo…
Adjusting the Rear View Mirror
The majority of deaths for contemporary young people are related to injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. Most prevention efforts targeted at addressing the issue are less than effective and do not address youth driving as a culture. This article presents findings from an ethnographic study that attempts to understand the ways in which youth driving culture is organized in regulatory texts and practices. A brief historical review of yout…
Family Perspectives on Pathways to Mental Health Care for Children and Youth in Rural Communities
Context: There is insufficient literature documenting the mental health experiences and needs of rural communities, and a lack of focus on children in particular. This is of concern given that up to 20% of children and youth suffer from a diagnosable mental health problem. Purpose: This study examines issues of access to mental health care for children and youth in rural communities from the family perspective. Methods: In‐depth interviews were c…
Child and Adolescent Health in Northern Ontario
The Illogic of Youth Driving Culture
Most adolescent deaths are caused by injury sustained in traffic crashes, and driver education does not necessarily reduce the problem. This multi‐method, ethnographic study describes the logic and regulation of youth driving culture in a northern Ontario community. This included 40 hours of participant observation and a survey of 88 novice drivers. The survey results suggest that youth are aware of the risk of driving, intend to practice safe dr…
Factors Influencing the Pursuit of Health and Science Careers for Canadian Adolescents in Transition from School to Work
Previous research separately acknowledges two emerging trends in adolescence but neglects to integrate them. These are that many changes have occurred in the school to work transitional processes, and that there is substantial need for adolescents, especially young women, to pursue science career pathways. In this study, we link these trends and develop predictive, interactive models of science pursuit for 836 Canadian secondary school graduates …
Expectancies and Mental Models as Determinants of Adolescents' Smoking Decisions
Cigarette smoking has been identified as the single most preventable source of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Experimentation with tobacco typically begins in adolescence, and smoking during this period is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of adult smoking status. In the present paper, we review several prominent decision models that have been applied to adolescent smoking, and point out important limitations of t…
