Resilience and associated factors in orphaned and separated adolescents in Kenya
Orphans are at higher risk of HIV infection and several important HIV risk factors than non-orphans; however, this may be due to a combination of related social, psychological, and economic factors, as well as care environment, rather than orphan status alone. Understanding these complex relationships may aid policy makers in supporting evidence-based, cost-effective programming for this vulnerable population. This longitudinal study uses a causa…
The relationships between resilience, care environment, and social-psychological factors in orphaned and separated adolescents in Western Kenya
The relationships between care environment, resilience, and social factors in orphaned and separated adolescents and youths (OSAY) in western Kenya are complex and under-studied. This study examines these relationships through the analysis of survey responses from OSAY living in Charitable Children's Institutes (CCI) and family-based care settings (FBS) in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. The associations between 1) care environment and resilience (mea…
Cohort Profile
The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) was established to understand and address the needs of an aging population.1–3 Overall aims are to examine aging as a dynamic process; to investigate the inter-relationship among intrinsic and extrinsic factors from mid-life to older age; and to capture the transitions, trajectories and profiles of aging.4 A central objective in creating the CLSA was to provide national infrastructure and build capa…

Investigating the key indicators for evaluating post-disaster shelter
This study sought to identify the primary indicators for evaluating shelter assistance following natural disasters and then to develop a shelter evaluation instrument based on these indicators. Electronic databases and the 'grey' literature were scoured for publications with a relation to post-disaster shelter assistance. Indicators for evaluating such assistance were extracted from these publications. In total, 1,525 indicators were extracted fr…

Seniors' narratives of asking (and not asking) for help after a fall
Falls among community-dwelling seniors constitute a major public health concern because of the potential morbidity and mortality associated with the fall. This study examined the informal care networks accessed by Canadian seniors who had visited the Emergency Department as a result of a fall, and considered the implications of the processes of asking for and receiving help on the senior's identity. Four themes were identified. The first was valu…
Developing a Shelter Evaluation Instrument That Promotes Post-Disaster Population Health
Introduction Absence of shelter may adversely affect the health of post-disaster populations. When shelters are inadequate or not provided, overcrowded ad hoc communities may form and encourage the spread of infectious disease. Shelter evaluation is therefore necessary to promote post-disaster population health. Even in cases where evaluations are carried out, standardized evaluation indicators do not exist. Objectives To determine what indicator…
Violence in the ‘Ayn al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, 2007–2009
Conditions in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon are difficult, with poverty rates high, educational attainment low, and opportunities few. Of concern to policy-makers is ‘Ayn al-Hilweh, the largest camp in Lebanon. This camp experiences frequent factional violence and harbors numerous individuals wanted by Lebanese authorities. This study, using a random survey of households, examined the frequency of households’ experience with violence a…
Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis of Mechanical Workplace Risk Factors and Low Back Pain
Objectives. We used individual participant data from multiple studies to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis of mechanical exposures in the workplace and low back pain. Methods. We conducted a systematic literature search and contacted an author of each study to request their individual participant data. Because outcome definitions and exposure measures were not uniform across studies, we conducted 2 substudies: (1) to identify sets of outcome …
Mortality, crime and access to basic needs before and after the Haiti earthquake
On 12 January 2010 an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter Scale struck Haiti, causing unprecedented death, injury and destruction for an event of this magnitude. Our aim was to generate a rapid assessment of the primary consequences for the population of the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, the national capital. During the summer of 2009 we conducted a survey of 1,800 households in metropolitan Port-au-Prince. Six weeks after the earthqua…
The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)
Les Canadiens vivent plus longtemps et les personnes plus âgées composent une part croissante de la population (14% en 2006, projeté d’atteindre 20% d’ici 2021). L’Étude longitudinale canadienne sur le vieillissement (ÉLCV) est une étude longitudinale nationale portant sur le développement adulte et le vieillissement qui recrutera 50 000 Canadien(ne)s âgé(e)s de 45 à 85 ans et qui les suivra pendant au moins 20 ans. Tous les participants fourniro…

Predictors of Work-Related Repetitive Strain Injuries in a Population Cohort
Objectives. We assessed predictors of work-related repetitive strain injuries using data from 4 waves of the Canadian National Population Health Survey. Methods. Participants were 2806 working adults who completed an abbreviated version of the Job Content Questionnaire in 1994–1995 and did not experience repetitive strain injuries prior to 2000–2001. Potential previous wave predictors of work-related repetitive strain injuries were modeled via mu…
Declining Trends in Work-Related Morbidity and Disability, 1993–1998
Objectives. This study compared trends in the incidence of work-related morbidity and disability across 3 sources of surveillance data in a Canadian province. Methods. Time series estimates of workplace injuries and work-related disability based on 2 panel surveys in the province of Ontario, Canada, for the period 1993–1998 were compared with rates of work-related injury and illness compensation claims during the same period. Results. Lost-time c…
Are risk factors for atherothrombotic disease associated with back pain sickness absence? The Whitehall II Study
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the previously stated hypothesis that risk factors for atherothrombotic disease are associated with back pain. DESIGN: Prospective (mean of four years of follow up) and retrospective analyses using two main outcome measures: (a) short ( 7 days) spells of sickness absence because of back pain reported separately in men and women; (b) consistency of effect across the resulting four duration of spell and sex cells. SETTIN…
The Impact of Re-Engineering and Other Cost Reduction Strategies on the Staff of a Large Teaching Hospital
OBJECTIVES: To examine changes over time in the hospital staff's perceptions of how rapid organizational change, caused by fiscal constraints imposed by governments, affects them, their work environment, and the quality of care and services that they provide. METHODS: A random sample of hospital employees (n = 900) of a large Ontario teaching hospital participated in a longitudinal study which involved surveys at 3 measurement periods over a 2-ye…
Long-term back problems and physical work exposures in the 1990 Ontario Health Survey
OBJECTIVES. This study sought to provide data on the relationship of work exposures to long-term back problems in a population survey. METHODS. The Ontario Health Survey in 1990 used a representative population sample of the province. It included data on long-term back problems, occupational activity, and physical work exposures. The current study examined relationships between these variables. RESULTS. The prevalence of long-term back problems w…

A case control study of carcinoma of the ovary
There is increased concern over the apparent rise in incidence of patients with carcinoma of the ovary, particularly in older women. In an attempt to identify aetiological factors 300 women with cancer of the ovary diagnosed at laparatomy were studied. A questionnaire was administered to these women (Group A) and to two control groups matched by age. The first control group (Group B) comprised patients in a gynaecological ward and the second (Gro…
