Sexual orientation, food insecurity, and barriers to food-bank use in the UK
Beyond the gender binary
Can pharmacare reduce suicide-related behaviors? A quasi-experimental study in Ontario youth
BACKGROUND: Canada's Ontario Health Insurance Plan Plus (OHIP+), implemented in 2018, provided universal prescription drug coverage to youth under 25. Because youth face elevated risks of suicide-related behaviors (SRBs) and frequently encounter cost-related barriers to accessing mental health medications, this study evaluated whether OHIP + impacted emergency department (ED) visits for SRBs among Ontario youth. METHODS: We used linked data from …
The impact of recreational cannabis retailer allocation on emergency department visits
The allocation of recreational cannabis retailer licenses did not significantly impact acute care use. Continuous monitoring, comprehensive sales tracking, and integrated substance use prevention strategies are recommended for future policy considerations
Effect of same-sex marriage legalisation on the health of ethnic minority lesbian, gay and bisexual people
BACKGROUND: The UK legalised same-sex marriage in 2014. We examine whether same-sex marriage legalisation (SSML), an exogenous policy change, affected the health outcomes among ethnic minority lesbian, gay, bisexual and other (LGB+) individuals. METHODS: Using the UK Household Longitudinal Survey, we applied the Callaway and Sant'Anna difference-in-differences to compare physical and mental health across (a) ethnic LGB+ individuals (treatment gro…

Impact of the minimum wage increase on intimate partner violence (IPV)
The 2018 minimum wage increase in Korea was associated with a modest reduction in physical threat among low-income female workers. While economic empowerment through minimum wage policies may contribute to IPV prevention, additional measures should be explored. Further research is needed to understand the intricate relationship between minimum wage policies and IPV, and evidence-based prevention strategies are crucial to address IPV risk
Is the association between sexual minority status and suicide-related behaviours modified by rurality? A discrete-time survival analysis using longitudinal health administrative data
Impact of the minimum wage increase on smoking behaviour
What are the mental health consequences of austerity measures in public housing? A quasi-experimental study
BACKGROUND: As governments around the world implement austerity measures to reduce national deficits, there is an urgent need to investigate potential health impacts of specific measures to avoid unintended consequences. In 2013, the UK government implemented the underoccupancy penalty (ie, the bedroom tax) to reduce the national housing benefits bill, by cutting social housing subsidies for households deemed to have excess rooms. We investigated…
Social Movement and Mental Health of South Korean Women Sexual Violence Survivors, 2012–2019
Objectives. To examine whether the #MeToo movement influenced depressive symptoms among women in South Korea with a history of experiencing sexual violence. Methods. We used data from a nationally representative sample (n = 4429) of women 19 to 50 years of age who participated in the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families between 2012 and 2019. A difference-in-differences model was used to estimate within-person changes in depressive sy…
Did the UK Covid-19 Lockdown Modify the Influence of Neighbourhood Disorder on Psychological Distress? Evidence From a Prospective Cohort Study
Background: National lockdown in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic severely restricted the mobility of residents and increased time spent in their residential neighbourhoods. This is a unique opportunity to understand how an exogenous factor that reduces mobility may influence the association between neighbourhood social environment and mental health. This study investigates whether the COVID-19 lockdown may modify the effect of neighbourhood d…
Sleep problems among sexual minorities
Our study found a consistent effect of family support across all sleep outcomes along with evidence of a persistent effect after 24 months. Our findings point to the importance of targeting family support in designing interventions aimed at reducing LGB sleep problems
Local food development in the Moose Cree First Nation
It has been well documented that northern Indigenous communities in Canada have disproportionately high rates of food insecurity which is contributing to chronic health conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Indigenous communities face complex challenges getting regular access to healthy food, whether through traditional food harvesting practices or through imported market food items. In response, many Indigenous communities are seeking …
The effect of neighbourhood cohesion on mental health across sexual orientations
Moving Metaphors
In this article, we investigate how speakers in the U.K.'s House of Commons cited the same legislative context and medical research to arrive at contradictory conclusions regarding the Government's responsibility to fund pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as an HIV intervention. Because the Government had expressed that it would not comment on institutional responsibilities directly, given the likelihood of a legal challenge in response to the Natio…
Cross-sectional associations between residential environmental exposures and cardiovascular diseases
These findings illustrate the importance of measuring and modeling a broad range of neighborhood factors--exposure to violent crimes, environmental noise, and traffic, and access to food stores, fast food, parks/recreation areas--to identify specific stressors in relation to adverse health outcomes. Further research to investigate the temporal order of events is needed to better understand the direction of causation for the observed associations
The impact of gentrification on residential evictions
Gentrification, a process of transforming working-class areas into middle-class use, is a pervasive process in many cities around the world. Although researchers recognize the dangers of displacement in this process, the magnitude of dislocation is highly contested. Literature on gentrification offers little guidance with regard to understanding the timing of displacement in a gentrifying neighborhood. Moreover, evictions have been neglected as a…
The impact of urban land uses on sleep duration and sleep problems
Urban densification and mixed‐use development may have unintended consequences and should be informed by research that anticipates their varied outcomes. The purpose of this study is to understand the association between sleep duration/problems and different land use types (commercial, residential, industrial, green space), and to further explore the role of traffic and noise as potential mechanisms for how land use can impact sleep. Using multil…
Does geographic context influence employability‐motivated volunteering? The role of area‐level material insecurity and urbanicity
There is a growing public discourse that volunteering increases the likelihood of finding a better job because it improves social and human capital. While previous studies have largely treated volunteers' motivations as individualistically determined, contextual determinants of volunteers' motivations are relatively neglected. The purpose of this study is to understand the individual and contextual characteristics in which individuals are more li…
Individual and Organizational Factors in the Interchangeability of Paid Staff and Volunteers
This study builds upon earlier studies of the degree of interchangeability between volunteers and paid staff in nonprofit organizations. While these earlier studies were from an organization perspective, this study is from the perspective of volunteers, and looks at individual and organizational characteristics in all types of organizations—nonprofits, for-profits, government agencies, and others. The findings indicate that 10.8% of volunteers re…
