Contexte additionnel :
I have spent over Sciences humaines years in participatory-oriented research, practice, and policy making to explore pre-, during, and post- disaster initiatives through the lens of environmental and social justice. I have been utilizing interdisciplinary strategies to nuancedly examine various socio-environmental vulnerabilities and address the social and health needs of residents in disaster-stricken regions and advance community resilience and sustainability in the global context of natural hazards, technological accidents, or an intentional, willful acts of violence. These activities are threefold: (i) Interdisciplinary research interventions supporting disaster-related health risk management; (ii) Social consequences in community development, and (iii) Environmental planning for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

I would like to build connections with hazards and disaster researchers and research teams, including natural hazards (i.e. earthquake and fire), technical hazards (i.e. traffic accident and air pollution), and willful hazards (i.e. terrorism and shooting). I would like to decipher community-based architecture and planning interventions to improve the resilience capacity of human settlement.

My research focuses on social, psychological, and environmental influences on youth and emerging adult mental health and substance use over time; and how mental health relates to various health behaviours (sleep, physical activity, substance use, eating behaviour, etc.) and correlates (e.g., body weight, self perceptions of weight and appearance, etc.). I am the PI of the Mental Health project within the larger COMPASS Study (COMPASS PI: Dr. Scott Leatherdale). COMPASS is a  prospective cohort study (started in 2012) that uses a hierarchical quasi-experimental design to evaluate how programs, policies, and built environments impact various youth health behaviours and outcomes (substance use [tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol, cannabis, opioids], mental health, obesity, diet, physical activity, screen time, sleep, bullying) over time. Each year, COMPASS collects longitudinal data from ~70,000 grade Engineering sciences-Nutrition, metabolism and diabetes students and 120+ secondary schools across Canada (Ontario, Alberta, BC, Quebec, Nunavut) (i.e., student level, school administrator data surveys, and built environment data from within and surrounding schools). The project aims to build capacity and provide infrastructure to continually improve programs, policies, and resources for the advancement of youth mental health.

Contexte additionnel :
I am primarily interested in active transportation in two contexts. First, in the context of an age-friendly city, I am interested in what can we do to make communities supportive of active transportation in older adults, and how we can accomplish this. Second, in the context of overall transportation, I am interested in positioning active transportation as a critical mode as our communities grow, both for health outcomes as well as for environmental outcomes. In the area of age-friendly active transportation, I have worked closely with our local municipality on projects that informed the City's application to the World Health Organization to be designated as an age-friendly city. In the area of overall transportation, I have worked closely with engineers and local municipal staff to better position and fight for prioritization of active transportation by tying it into municipal declarations of a "climate emergency".

I am interested in working with partners who can: 

• assist with creating policies around active transportation, particularly e-bikes
• support research on e-bikes and cycling infrastructure
• provide expertise in measurement of environmental conditions
• provide expertise in urban planning (complete streets)   

I am also interested in collaborating with other researchers on age-friendly city design, active transportation, and e-bikes.

INTERACT est une collaboration de recherche pancanadienne unique, rassemblant des scientifiques, professionnels en aménagement, responsables en santé publique et citoyens engagés pour évaluer l’impact des transformations urbaines sur la santé et le bien-être des Canadiens. En voyant la ville comme un laboratoire vivant, nous documentons sa transformation via des systèmes d’information géographique, tout en mesurant précisément l’activité physique, la participation sociale et le bien-être des populations à travers des technologies innovantes comme les GPS, les accéléromètres et les applications mobiles. Avec des données massives et diverses méthodes d’analyse comme l’intelligence artificielle, nous identifions comment ces transformations urbaines influencent les profils de santé de la population et les inégalités sociales. D’abord lancé dans quatre villes à travers le Canada - Victoria, Vancouver, Saskatoon et Montréal - INTERACT offre un cadre innovant permettant d’évaluer l’impact concret des aménagements urbains sur la santé, en développant des outils qui peuvent facilement être déployés dans d’autres villes et contextes.

As male sex work is understudied, between 2014 and 2017 I conducted ethnographic research for my 2018 Ph.D. dissertation, in London, Ontario, Canada, where no prior research with male sex workers exists. Forty-three men shared their stories via semi-structured interviews. Not only do I present original insight into demographics and prevalence rates, but also the socio-cultural aspects of the sex industry and male sex workers' lives. This research also uncovers that these men, rendered invisible based on their gender, sexuality, and involvement in the sex trade, are facing various forms of systemic structural violence (including culturally, institutionally, and at the level of the family).

Contexte additionnel :
Deprivation in any of the social determinants of health is likely to induce health inequalities in populations. It is important to identify all domains in which deprivation can occur and to examine whether there is multiple deprivation (i.e. in more than one domain). This is best achieved with an index which reduces information from many indicators into few domains. Such an index can show different deprived domains for men and women, children or elderly persons, in urban and rural areas. It can be used for research (as an independent a control variable), for surveillance of health inequalities, for resource allocation, for planning purposes and for program evaluation. I am interested in developing an innovative prototype of multiple deprivation index (actually several) taking into consideration the varying faces of deprivation in different areas and population groups. The index will also be developed for all of Canada. Once developed, we will use it for research, particularly in surveillance but also hope to collaborate with researchers who are interested in including it in their analyses.

I am seeking out partners interested in reviewing the components of the index (mindful of the constraints) and commenting on the measurement of deprivation. What small-area type of data is available? Collaborators could validate it before it is released through tests in their analyses. As many measurements of the built environment domain refer to urban areas, I am particularly interested in collaborating with experts of inequalities in cities.

I would like to establish links with experts for understanding people's perception of healthy living, health risks, the most important aspects of health, their health concerns, and factors that contribute to good health. In short, I am curious to assess people's perceptions against objective observation of health determinants and identify gaps that may be the reason for ineffective health policy and practice. I am interested in developing a better understanding of the urban environment, modifications carried out by humans that altered the systems that are also created by humans, and their impact on human health. Also, I am interested in exploring if there are barriers that create gaps between people's perceptions of what they need for healthy living versus policy-makers perceptions of what people should need for a healthy living.

Dr. Karen Lee is Director of the Housing for Health project, an initiative based at the University of Alberta that aims to improve the health and well-being of community residents in Alberta and across Canada. The Housing for Health project focuses on the connection between “housing” and the neighborhoods in which housing occur (or, the “built environment”) and health. With the growing body of research showing that the built environment can affect health and well-being, including our physical activity levels, our access to healthy foods and beverages, and our social connections, knowledge translation research has become vital. The Housing for Health project translates available research into real-world policies and practices by partnering with multiple sectors such as developers, urban planners, architects, and municipal and provincial policymakers to improve the health of community residents. The Housing for Health project team also partners with these different sectors to evaluate changes in health outcomes in natural experiments where improvements are occurring in our buildings, streets and communities, and their design and amenities.

Currently the Housing for Health project is evaluating health outcomes in two pilot housing developments being built in Edmonton and Whitecourt (population ~10,000), Alberta targeted towards aging populations. Our team is interested in expanding such evaluations into additional typologies of housing, populations housed, and jurisdictions encompassed. We are interested in partnering with health researchers from multiple jurisdictions and also non-health researchers and academics involved in the planning, design, development and construction of different types of built environment projects.

I am looking to partner with teams/ groups that also have interest in studying marginalized, particularly racialized populations. Our community in Northwestern Toronto has a large concentration of such marginalized populations with concomitant worse health outcomes particularly with regards to chronic disease burden and mental health. I am interested in working with other teams to develop interventions to address health disparities facing our population with an interest in physical activity and chronic disease self-management approaches.

The goal is to produce a municipal level prioritization matrix for both Modifiable Risk Factors (Smoking, Obesity, etc.), social determinants of health and their impact on mortality (adjusted by age using ICD10 definitions). This will allow assessment of premature mortality attributable to modifiable risk factors per municipality. Correlating these to social determinants of health these will help our targeting of municipal interventions of public, NGO and the private sector players. This will allow local municipalities and policy makers to have a tool for the prioritization for Public Health Strategies and evaluate the use of funds, policy and NGO focus for the highest impact on community health. Municipal level data will also allow Return On Investment assessments for different Community Health interventions by sector.

I am a researcher (adjunct professor and research associate) working with 12 Indigenous communities of northern Canada since 2015, on diverse topics in environmental health (e.g., water and food safety and security; perception of issues, risk analysis and management). I am also a program manager at the Public Health direction of Montreal (prevention and control of infectious diseases). I don't have the time right now to mobilize a team but would be glad to participate to a project. My main interests would be: 1) Indigenous health (access to country food in city; food security and urban initiatives; perception of issues; equity and justice in the health care system). 2) Public health and risk management in cities (e.g. infectious diseases, covid, health measures)

LivingWorks is a mission-driven organization with an industry-leading approach to suicide prevention: we want to empower everyone to play a role. Guided by our values and our commitment to across-the-board quality, we're here to help make communities everywhere safer from suicide. Our vision is a world free from suicide loss—a world where no one experiences the pain of a co-worker, friend, or family member taking their own life. Our mission is to make that world possible through high-quality training programs that empower everyone to make a difference, no matter who they are or what they do. We believe that when people with complementary, integrated skills come together, they achieve a greater impact than any of them could alone. That's why we focus on a community-wide, collaborative approach that empowers everyone to play a role.    From beginners to professionals, we offer programs for all skill levels in the belief that every person can learn to make a difference. When these trainees come together to build safety networks in their communities, they create a powerful, life-saving transformation.

Contexte additionnel : I am a cognitive neuroscientist leading inter-disciplinary research into aged and dementia care in the Western Sydney region of Australia. My work recognises the importance and inter-play of the medical, sociocultural, educational, and environmental factors that underpin health outcomes, care, and quality of life for older community members. To facilitate this, a coordinated and collaborative approach to research and translation is required. My team leverages partnerships between universities, local governments, local health district services, not-for-profit organisations delivering care/support, and the community to research, implement, and evaluate interventions that address health outcomes and care provision.

Contexte additionnel : We are looking to conduct a comprehensive environmental scan of all mental health and Indigenous services available in each province as well as an in-depth literature review on Indigenous health and harm reduction techniques with a date range of 2018-2023. With this research, we will be creating an asset map resource for communities and partners to access that will direct them to the specific service they are seeking using a pictographic interactive user interface. From this research, we intend to create a policy brief identifying the major social determinants of health that are impacting each Indigenous community individually. This policy brief will be used to create an outward-facing document defining Indigenous Harm and Indigenous Harm Reduction. In addition to this, we will be creating training and education modules for the community to learn the newest innovations and services available to them for mental health, addiction, harm reduction, and other social determinants of health and well-being. These modules will also teach organizations and communities how to implement the programming, access funding for the programs and to train staff to implement the programming. We also intend to use this research to implement post-treatment programming in all areas of Indigenous peoples' lives where they are experiencing challenges. We are calling this wrap-around aftercare programming. This can include things such as access to housing or education/employment, disease management, family violence rehabilitation, substance use, mental health, smoking cessation, healthy living, and eating, leisure, and recreation, legal advocacy, Jordan's Principle applications, spiritual care, etc. We intend to implement this programming and research in the three locations in British Columbia and we are hoping to expand to Alberta as well. All online, materials will be accessible to all communities with internet access. Programming will begin in British Columbia with plans to expand.
