Does ruminating about the previous night's drinking during a hangover predict changes in heavy episodic drinking? A two-wave, 30-day prospective study.

Objective: We examined whether hangover-related rumination-repeatedly dwelling on negative aspects of yesterday's drinking while hungover the following morning-predicts changes in three dimensions of heavy episodic drinking (HED) over time.

Method: = 334 emerging adults (aged 19-29) from three Eastern Canadian universities who had recently experienced a hangover completed online self-report questionnaires at baseline (Wave 1) and 30 days later (Wave 2; 71.6% retention).

Considering the impact of vaccine communication in the COVID-19 pandemic among adults in Canada: A qualitative study of lessons learned for future vaccine campaigns.

We aimed to understand how experiences with vaccine-related information and communication challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted motivations and behaviors among Canadian adults regarding future vaccines. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants purposively selected to ensure diversity in age, sex at birth, self-identified gender, and region. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis; findings were mapped to the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model focusing on factors affecting vaccine hesitancy and uptake.

Sociodemographic and Population Exposure to Upstream Oil and Gas Operations in Canada.

Canada, as one of the largest oil and gas producer in the world, is responsible for large emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. At low levels, methane is not a direct threat to human health; however, human health is affected by exposure to pollutants co-emitted with methane. The objectives of this research were to estimate and map pollutants emitted by the oil and gas industry, to assess the demographic of the population exposed to oil and gas activities, and to characterize the impact of well density on cardiovascular- and respiratory-related outcomes with a focus on Alberta.

Client experiences of a task-shifting supported self-management intervention for depression in Vietnam.

Background: The global burden of mental illness is substantial, with depression impacting close to 300 million people worldwide. This has been exacerbated within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, in many low- and middle-income countries including Vietnam, there is a substantial treatment gap, with many requiring mental health care unable to access it.

HSP70 is upregulated after heat but not freezing stress in the freeze-tolerant cricket Gryllus veletis.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are well known to prevent and repair protein damage caused by various abiotic stressors, but their role in low temperature and freezing stress is not well-characterized in insects compared to other thermal challenges such as heat stress. Ice formation in and around cells is hypothesized to cause protein damage, yet many species of insects can survive freezing, suggesting HSPs may be an important mechanism in freeze tolerance. Here, we studied HSP70 in a freeze-tolerant cricket Gryllus veletis to better understand the role of HSPs in this phenomenon.

An exploration of the role of trust and rapport in enhancing vaccine uptake among Anishinaabe in rural northern Ontario.

This article examines the complicated terrain of immunization acceptance and access among Indigenous peoples in northern Ontario by drawing on conversations held prior to 2019 that explored knowledge about Haemophilus influenzae type a (Hia) infection specifically and attitudes toward vaccines more broadly. In the decade preceding COVID-19, Hia emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Indigenous communities in northern Canada. Before developing new vaccines, it is imperative to hold conversations with the communities most affected and to learn more about Indigenous peoples' perceptions of and knowledge about vaccines, both generally and Hia specifically.

Infants' Social Evaluation of Helpers and Hinderers: A Large-Scale, Multi-Lab, Coordinated Replication Study.

Evaluating whether someone's behavior is praiseworthy or blameworthy is a fundamental human trait. A seminal study by Hamlin and colleagues in 2007 suggested that the ability to form social evaluations based on third-party interactions emerges within the first year of life: infants preferred a character who helped, over hindered, another who tried but failed to climb a hill. This sparked a new line of inquiry into the origins of social evaluations; however, replication attempts have yielded mixed results.

Why Collect and Use Race/Ethnicity Data? A Qualitative Case Study on the Perspectives of Mental Health Providers and Patients During COVID-19.

Context: Calls to collect patients' race/ethnicity (RE) data as a measure to promote equitable health care among vulnerable patient groups are increasing. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how a public health crisis disproportionately affects racialized patient groups. However, less is known about the uptake of RE data collection in the context of mental health care services.

Friendship, Intimacy, and the Contradictions of Therapy Culture.

While therapy culture has long been a part of the repertoires through which people think about and practice their romantic relationships, it has been less prominent in how they envision friendship. However, based on our interviews on experiences of friendlessness in an Atlantic Canadian city, we show that therapeutic styles increasingly shape how people orient to friendship, even as friends rarely seek formal therapy to manage their conflicts. This article focuses on how modern therapy culture, with its emphasis on individual wellbeing, self-knowledge, and 'healthy' rather than 'toxic' relationships, presents people with conflicting cultural imperatives for how to practice their friendships.

Front-Line Insights Into the Social Determinants of Health in Housing Instability: A Multi-Province Study.

Introduction: Individuals experiencing housing instability face significant health inequities. Addressing housing instability requires an understanding of the factors that contribute to these inequities-a responsibility that has been assumed by community-based organizations. Interviewing individuals from 3 Canadian provinces, the present study aimed to examine the perspectives of individuals from front-line services of the social determinants of health (SDoH) needs of individuals experiencing housing instability.

Testing alcohol container warning labels among alcohol consumers in the field over a 4-week period: a protocol for a randomized field trial.

Objective: Online and lab-based experiments examining the impact of alcohol labels typically test a one-time exposure to labels and assess short-term, non-behavioural outcomes. These studies do not simulate a real-world label dose or assess actual alcohol use. This pilot aimed to develop a new protocol for testing alcohol labels that better reflects real-world exposure by presenting labels on consumers' own alcohol products over time and assessing effects on several outcomes, including alcohol use.

Willingness to Pay for Improved Groundwater due to BMPs in PEI.

This study uses stated preference techniques to evaluate the willingness to pay for improved groundwater in PEI, which allows us to estimate the social cost of nitrogen in this region. 'Beneficial Management Practices' (BMPs) are often employed in PEI's agricultural sector, to improve crop yields but also reduce adverse environmental effects such as nitrogen leaching that can affect ground and surface waters. PEI residents were surveyed to estimate a dollar value of improved water quality due to reduced nitrogen leaching due to BMPs.

Impact of supply chain disruptions and drug shortages on drug utilization: A scoping review protocol.

Objective: This proposed scoping review aims to examine studies assessing the impact of drug shortages on population-level drug utilization trends. The objectives of this review are to a) assess which drugs have been studied and describe associated drug characteristics, b) determine jurisdictions and healthcare settings that have conducted these studies, and c) describe how changes in drug use and the extent of shortage impacts are reported in literature.

Introduction: Drug shortages continue to impair drug access and delivery of quality care across the world.

The Implementation of the Advocacy Intervention for Midlife and Older Women Who Have Experienced Intimate Partner Violence: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Midlife and older women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) often have less access to supports and services than younger women. There is far less focus on research and supports for midlife and older women compared to younger women experiencing IPV, and often, neither elder abuse nor IPV services meet their needs. Few interventions are available to meet the needs of midlife and older women.

Antiracism in appreciative inquiry: Generative tensions and collective reflexivity.

Appreciative inquiry is an action research methodology focused on revealing an organization's positive core. As a cross-racial team of antiracist researchers, we were drawn to appreciative inquiry due to its congruences with community-based research perspectives on power-sharing and co-constructing knowledge. Our collaborative reflexivity brought us to question whether Appreciative inquiry's hyper-focus on positivity would fit our antiracist research paradigm.

Massive barnacle recruitment on the Gulf of St. Lawrence coast of Nova Scotia (Canada) in 2024 linked to increased sea surface temperature.

With the ongoing climate and oceanographic change, an increasing number of studies are reporting dramatic population losses caused by thermal extremes in intertidal habitats. Under moderate warming, however, populations can fare better in places where species normally experienced suboptimal temperatures. This article reports the massive recruitment of the barnacle on the Gulf of St.

Exploring librarians' practices when teaching advanced searching for knowledge synthesis: results from an online survey.

Objective: There is little research available regarding the instructional practices of librarians who support students completing knowledge synthesis projects. This study addresses this research gap by identifying the topics taught, approaches, and resources that academic health sciences librarians employ when teaching students how to conduct comprehensive searches for knowledge synthesis projects in group settings.

Methods: This study applies an exploratory-descriptive design using online survey data collection.

The development of children's and adults' use of kinematic cues for visual anticipation and verbal prediction of action.

Expectations about how others' actions unfold in the future are crucial for our everyday social interactions. The current study examined the development of the use of kinematic cues for action anticipation and prediction in 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds, 10-year-olds, and adults in two experiments. Participants observed a hand repeatedly reaching for either a close or far object.

Lung cancer survival by immigrant status: a population-based retrospective cohort study in Ontario, Canada.

Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and causes of cancer death in Canada. Some previous literature suggests that socioeconomic inequalities in lung cancer screening, treatment and survival may exist. The objective of this study was to compare overall survival for immigrants versus long-term residents of Ontario, Canada among patients diagnosed with lung cancer.

Friendlessness and loneliness: Cultural frames for making sense of disconnection.

This article is based on 21 interviews in an Atlantic Canadian city with people who identified as having few or no friends. With all the talk of a modern loneliness epidemic, we might easily assume friendless people are lonely, yet here we take an interpretive approach to analyze how they alternately claim to experience and not experience loneliness. We argue that claims to loneliness or its absence are never merely personal stories or problems of individual health or wellbeing, but are shaped by larger cultural resources and meanings.
