Despite Canada’s strengths and widespread acknowledgment of the importance children youth, this country recently ranked 30th among 38 high-income countries on indicators their well-being (UNICEF Innocenti 2020). While there are limited data readily available for monitoring within across jurisdictions, Alberta compares worse than Canadian averages early development vulnerability child abuse (PHAC 2023a).

<h3>Background</h3> Bicycling provides health benefits but can also result in injuries. Built environment features prevent bicycling injuries adults; however, research on children is scarce. Additional evidence about how the built influences child injury needed. <h3>Aim</h3> To assess if are associated with bicyclist risk three Canadian regions using a case-crossover design. <h3>Methods</h3> Children (ages 5–17) injured while presenting to emergency departments Vancouver, Calgary, or Toronto...
<h3>Background</h3> Bicycling can be a beneficial physical activity for children; however, child and parent perceptions of bicyclist safety may influence participation. The Haddon's Matrix breaks down the factors (human, vehicle, environment) phases (pre-injury, injury, post-injury) that relate to injury outcomes. It has been widely used in quantitative studies road safety, but less so qualitative work. Applying injured interview data offer insights across paradigms. <h3>Aim</h3> To explore...
