We aimed to estimate associations between COVID-19 incidence and mortality with neighbourhood-level immigration, race, housing, socio-economic characteristics.We conducted a population-based study of 28,808 cases in the provincial reportable infectious disease surveillance systems (Public Health Case Contact Management System) which includes all known infections deaths from Ontario, Canada reported January 23, 2020 July 28, 2020. Residents congregate settings, Indigenous communities living...
Objectives The objective of our study was to estimate the rate workplace outbreak-associated cases COVID-19 by industry in labour market participants aged 15–69 years who reported working majority hours outside home Ontario, Canada. Methods We conducted a population-based cross-sectional outbreaks and associated Ontario between 1 April 2020 31 March 2021. All were manually classified into two-digit North American Industry Classification System codes. obtained monthly denominator estimates...
Within-household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been identified as one the main sources spread disease 2019 (COVID-19) after lockdown restrictions and self-isolation guidelines are implemented. Secondary attack rates among household contacts estimated to be 5-10 times higher than non-household contacts, but it is unclear which individuals more prone transmit within their households.
Abstract Background Racialized and low income communities face disproportionally high rates of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection death. However, data on inequities in COVID-19 across granular categories socio-demographic characteristics is more sparse. Methods Neighbourhood-level counts cases deaths Ontario, Canada recorded as July 28 th , 2020 were extracted from provincial local reportable infectious disease surveillance systems. Associations between incidence mortality 18...
Negative health outcomes associated with the use of both prescribed and nonprescribed opioids are increasingly prevalent. We examined long-term trends in opioid-related harms Ontario across a set 6 indicators relation between neighbourhood income 2016.We rates neonatal abstinence syndrome, opioid poisoning (fatal nonfatal) nonpoisoning events from 2003 to 2016 using population-based administrative databases. conducted descriptive analyses for harm quintiles (2015 death). social inequalities...
Abstract Introduction Beyond clinical risk factors, little is known about the impact of social determinants on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) burden. Our study aimed to estimate RSV-related hospitalization rates across sociodemographic and housing characteristics. Methods We conducted a population-based all hospitalizations in Ontario, Canada between September 1, 2016 August 31, 2019 using validated hospital discharge codes census data. Crude age-standardized annualized RSV incidence rate...
Abstract BACKGROUND Within-household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been identified as one the main sources spread COVID-19 after lockdown restrictions and self-isolation guidelines are implemented. Secondary attack rates among household contacts estimated to be five ten times higher than non-household contacts, but it is unclear which individuals more prone transmit within their households. METHODS Using address matching, a cohort was assembled all laboratory-confirmed cases...

Abstract Objectives Socio-economic status (SES) is a well-established predictor of health outcomes; however, there dearth evidence on the relationship between SES and off-road vehicle (ORV) injuries. In Ontario, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) snowmobiles present serious risk for preventable injury. This study assessed association area-level material deprivation ATV- snowmobile-related injuries in as well impact sex age. Methods A population-based, repeat cross-sectional was conducted using...
