Taking stock of youth substance use portrayals
The changing landscape of substance use and related harms, interventions, and priority setting in Canada has intensified public commentary about youth and drugs. Given the politicized nature of these issues and the significant role of media in shaping societal views and responses to substance use, there is pragmatic value in examining how youth substance use is represented in contemporary media coverage, including to identify potential shortcomin…

Gender, Power, and Health
Gender inequity, including low sexual relationship power (SRP), is an important determinant of intimate partner violence (IPV) and negative sexual, reproductive, and mental health. Different versions of the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS) are commonly used within youth studies to examine how gender inequities, including controlling behaviors, in heterosexual relationships impact the lives of young people in sub-Saharan Africa. This review …

A portrait of the early and differential mental health impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
Evidence on the population-level mental health impacts of COVID-19 are beginning to amass; however, to date, there are significant gaps in our understandings of whose mental health is most impacted, how the pandemic is contributing to widening mental health inequities, and the coping strategies being used to sustain mental health. The first wave of a repeated cross-sectional monitoring survey was conducted between May 14-29, 2020 to assess the me…
