Child pedestrian and cyclist injuries, and the built and social environment across Canadian cities: the Child Active Transportation Safety and the Environment Study (CHASE).

Introduction: Traffic injury is a leading and preventable cause of child death and disability, with child pedestrians and cyclists particularly vulnerable. Examining built environment correlates of child pedestrian and cyclist motor vehicle collisions (PCMVC) in different settings is needed to promote an evidence-based approach to road safety.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study across multiple urban/suburban environments in Canada (Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Laval, Peel Region).

Supracondylar Humerus Fractures in Older Children: Success of Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning.

Background: The incidence of supracondylar humerus (SCH) fracture declines and fracture types change as children grow. Optimal treatment method is unclear in older children. The aim of the study was to determine if fracture type and configuration of distal humerus fractures changes as patients approach skeletal maturity, and to assess the success of closed reduction and percutaneous pin (CRPP) in extra-articular SCH fractures in this transitional age group.

Community of practice: an effective mechanism to strengthen capacity in climate change and health.

Setting: Climate change is one of the greatest threats to global health in the twenty-first century and has recently been declared a health emergency. The lack of effective dissemination of emerging evidence on climate change health risks, effects, and innovative interventions to health professionals presents one of the greatest challenges to climate action today.

Intervention: To identify and address the knowledge gaps at the intersection of health and climate change, the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research (CCGHR) established a Working Group on Climate Change and Health (WGCCH).

Democracy and Mobility: A preliminary analysis of global adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19.

In the absence of vaccines or therapeutics, and with cases of COVID-19 continuing to grow each day, most countries are relying on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The goal of NPIs - decreasing mobility in order to decrease contact - comes with competing socioeconomic costs and incentives that are not well-understood. Using Google's Community Mobility data, we visualized changes in mobility and explored the effect of economic, social, and governmental factors on mobility via regression.
