We studied trends of hypertensive disorders pregnancy by residential socioeconomic status (SES) and racial/ethnic subgroups in New York State over a 10-year period.We merged discharge data for 2.5 million women hospitalized with delivery from 1993 through 2002 2000 US Census data.Rates diagnoses all combined preeclampsia individually were highest among Black across regions neighborhood poverty levels. Although hospitalization rates decreased time most groups, differences between White...
As a part of the public health approach to child welfare, data about children placed in out-of-home care are needed assess population trends, understand drivers social and inequities, examine outcomes for families. We analyzed administrative from Canada describe care, estimate compare rates by province/territory, year, sex/gender, age group placement type.
To establish global research priorities for interpersonal violence prevention using a systematic approach.Research were identified in three-round process involving two surveys. In round 1, 95 experts proposed questions to be ranked 2. Questions collated and organized according the four-step public health approach prevention. 2, 280 international importance of four steps, various substeps, approach. 3, 131 detailed on step awarded highest priority 2.In "developing, implementing evaluating...
Despite advances in child maltreatment research, accurate measurement of exposure remains a key issue. In this study, we evaluated short form (CEVQ-SF) the Childhood Experiences Violence Questionnaire (CEVQ) sample adolescents involved with protection services an urban city Ontario, Canada. Focusing on two most readily defined types, physical and sexual abuse, form’s comparability full version CEVQ. Both versions had good internal consistency moderate-to-good 2-week test-retest reliability....
<h3>Importance</h3> Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem with significant adverse consequences for women and children. Past evaluations of nurse home visitation program pregnant first-time mothers experiencing social economic disadvantage have not consistently shown reductions in IPV. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the effect on maternal quality life augmented by an IPV intervention, compared alone. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Cluster-based, single-blind,...
The current project undertook a province-wide survey and environmental scan of educational opportunities available to future health care providers on the topic intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. A team experts identified university college programs in Ontario, Canada as potential IPV education students professions at undergraduate post-graduate levels. telephone with contacts representing these was conducted between October 2005 March 2006. asked whether IPV-specific provided...
There is increasing evidence for the adverse effects of child maltreatment on academic performance; however, most these studies used selective samples and did not account potential confounding or mediating factors. We examined relationship between physical abuse (PA; severe non-severe) sexual (SA) educational attainment (years education, failure to graduate from high school) with a Canadian community sample. data Ontario Child Health Study ( N = 1,893), province-wide longitudinal survey....
Migrants are one of the most deprived and vulnerable groups who receive least health services in society. Only a few studies have been conducted on access to healthcare among migrants Asia, despite hosting 75 million migrants. In Japan, Nepalese constitute largest South Asian community. Their number increased by three folds from 2011 2016. However, little is known about their care Japan. Based Andersen's model, we examined factors associated with Japan.We cross-sectional study 642 residing...
It has previously been reported that the duration of short time intervals is conspicuously underestimated if they are preceded by shorter neighbouring intervals. This illusion was called 'time shrinking' and it argued strongly affects perception auditory rhythms. In present study this supposition pursued in three experiments. first, temporal patterns consisting two, three, four had to be judged for anisochrony, which invoked offsetting last sound from its isochronous position. By a constant...
Child maltreatment is linked to distinct neurophysiological patterns and social‐emotional vulnerability. Relations among maltreatment, relative resting frontal alpha asymmetry, shyness, psychopathology were examined prospectively. Adolescent girls (age 14–16) who experienced child ( N = 55) compared nonmaltreated controls 25), returned for 6‐ 12‐month follow‐ups. Among participants exhibiting right maltreated adolescents reported higher shyness than at Time 1. Low‐stable high‐stable...
Resting frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha asymmetry patterns reflecting different affective and motivational tendencies have been proposed as a putative mechanism underlying resilience among maltreated youth. This 2-year prospective study examined whether developmental stability of resting moderated the relation between child maltreatment severity psychopathology in female adolescents (n = 43; ages 12-16) recruited from protection agencies. Results identified two trajectories...
Abstract Based on a nationally representative survey of the Canadian population conducted in 2019/2020, this study examined prevalence and determinants non-physical Intimate partner violence (NP-IPV). NP-IPV was defined as experiences emotional abuse, controlling behaviours, or economic abuse during past five years. Women (17.3%) men (16.9%) were equally likely to report NP-IPV, often without co-occurring physical/sexual IPV. For both genders, risk decreased with age, increased financial...
Aims. Despite the advances in child maltreatment research, there is still need for comprehensive information about how abuse affects a broad range of categories young adult functioning, and extent to which these vary by sex. We examined associations between physical (PA) sexual (SA) six areas functioning (mental health, life satisfaction, illegal substance use, alcohol problems daily smoking). Methods. Data were obtained from 1983 Ontario Child Health Study follow-up 2000/2001 ( n = 1893)....
The most outstanding feature of quartz crystal device is its frequency stability in wide range temperature. In the last ten years, miniaturization devices has been accelerated. newest resonators are 1/500 size compared to those years ago. Miniaturization general sacrifices quality factor (Q value), S/N ratio, frequency-temperature stability, and product uniformity. QMEMS a promising mass-production process solve problems mentioned above. flexibility design makes possible with 3 dimensional...
Extensive research seeks to understand the intergenerational impact of child maltreatment. However, it remains unclear how parent's history maltreatment (PCM) is associated with mental health, after accounting for children's experiences and other proximal risk factors.This study examines associations between PCM youth internalizing externalizing problems, while (YM), parent health positive parenting.Youth aged 14 17 years (N = 2266) participated in 2014 Ontario Child Heath Study.Parents...
An important determinant of the quality factor Q a quartz resonator is loss energy from electrode area to base via mountings. The acoustical characteristics plate are changed when mounted onto substrate. substrate affects frequency spectra resonator. A with high may not have similarly on base. Hence, an sink and will be affected by shape size this lower bound obtained if semi-infinite since it absorb all energies radiated scaled boundary finite element method employed model without...
