Download or read book Designing and Conducting Gender Sex and Health Research written by John L. Oliffe and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first textbook dedicated to critically examining gender and sex in study designs, methods, and analysis in health research. In order to produce ethical, accurate, and effective research findings it is vital to integrate both sex (biological characteristics) and gender (socially constructed factors) into any health study. This book draws attention to some of the methodological complexities in this enterprise and offers ways to thoughtfully address these by drawing on empirical examples across a range of topics and disciplines. Designing and Conducting Gender, Sex, and Health Research is an invaluable resource for students undertaking research in health sciences, medicine, nursing, gender studies, women′s studies, epidemiology, health policy, psychology, and sociology. From John L. Oliffe and Lorraine Greaves:

Download or read book R gions m tropolitaines de recensement et agglom rations de recensement subdivis es en secteurs de recensement pour le Recensement de 2001 written by Peter E. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le cadre du Recensement de 2001, on a défini 27 régions métropolitaines de recensement (RMR), y compris deux nouvelles, Kingston, Ontario et Abbotsford (Colombie-Britannique) qui étaient auparavant des agglomérations de recensement et 19 agglomérations de recensement (AR) subdivisées en des secteurs de recensement, y compris trois nouvelles, Drummondville et Granby, au Québec, et Medicine Hat, en Alberta . Le présent document de travail comprend trois cartes pour chacune des RMR et AR. La première carte montre les limites de la RMR ou de l'AR et des limites des subdivisions de recensement (SDR) qui la compose en 1996; la deuxième, la transition de 1996 à 2001 (les changements de limites étant mis en évidence), et la troisième, la RMR ou AR définie pour le Recensement de 2001 et les limites des SDR qui la compose en 2001. Les tableaux qui les accompagnent comportent des limites des subdivisions de recensement qui les composent ainsi que des critères auxquels elles doivent répondre pour être incluses dans une une RMR ou AR. Le présent document décrit divers facteurs qui peuvent donner lieu à des changements des limites des RMR et AR. Pour le Recensement de 2001, la restructuration des municipalités est le facteur qui a eu le plus de répercussions sur les limites de certaines RMR et AR. Le document décrit et compare en outre brièvement les critères de délimitation des régions métropolitaines aux États-Unis et ceux des régions métropolitaines au Canada. On indique quelles répercussions aurait l'utilisation des critères des régions métropolianes américaines sur le programme des RMR au Canada.

Download or read book Health in Rural Canada written by Judith C. Kulig and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health research in Canada has mostly focused on urban areas, often overlooking the unique issues faced by Canadians living in rural and remote areas. This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the state of rural health and health care in Canada, from coast to coast and in northern communities. Three themes are highlighted: rural places matter to health, rural places are unique, and rural places are dynamic. The contributors bring insights and methodologies from nursing, social work, geography, epidemiology, and sociology and from community-based research to a full spectrum of topics: health literacy, rural health care delivery and training, Aboriginal health, web-based services and their application, rural palliative care, and rural health research and policy. Taken together, these wide-ranging and multifaceted explorations of the dynamic relationship between health and place offer researchers and policy-makers, students and practitioners a valuable resource for understanding the special, ever-changing needs of rural communities.
Download or read book Immigrants in Regional Labour Markets of Host Nations written by Syed Ather Hussain Akbari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to present a detailed analysis of economic integration of immigrants in smaller areas of their host nations. It uses Atlantic Canada as a case in point and uses unpublished data based on several databases of Statistics Canada and Citizenship and Immigration, Canada. It identifies best policy practices that can also be used in other countries to address demographic challenges similar to those facing Canada, for example population ageing and youth out-migration from smaller regions to larger regions, through immigration. Economic integration of immigrants in Atlantic Canada is faster and better than it is nationally. An overarching result is that an analysis of regional data can lead to very different policy conclusions than the analysis of national data, which means that it can be risky to devise immigration policy based only on national data. A clear message is that economic benefits from immigration can be enhanced by facilitating a broader geographic distribution of immigrants, rather than maintaining their concentration in a few larger urban regions. A must read for immigration and population policy makers, immigrant settlement agencies and academic researchers.

Book excerpt: There is increasing appreciation in the social sciences that context is an important element in understanding social, economic, cultural, political and demographic processes. An important element in context is the type of settlement in which people live and work and so, it is vital to be able to categorise people into particular settlements types. This book brings together a leading team of social scientists to present the latest information on urbanization around the world, highlighting examples of development patterns that are not adequately captured by the UN's type of reporting systems and drawing attention to other ways of representing current trends.

Download or read book Canadian Political Culture s in Transition written by Hamish Telford and published by School of Policy Studies Queen's University. This book was released on 2002 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada: The State of the Federation 2000/01 probes beneath the surface to determine if the obvious changes – the fractious federal party system, the "common sense revolution" in government budgeting, the re-birth of the sovereignty movement in Quebec, and the re-assertion of Aboriginal claims – are symptomatic of a shift in Canadian political culture. Arguably, political changes in Canada have been greater in the 1990s than in any other decade since Confederation, but do these changes signify a shift in Canadian political culture? Can we even speak of a Canadian political culture? What are the consequences of these changes for the federation? Are Canadians more or less united? Are federal-provincial relations better or worse? What does the future hold? The authors attempt to answer these questions through analyses of the federal party system, politics in the provinces and regions, and political dynamics in a number of issue areas, including Aboriginal politics, the Charter, multiculturalism, the rural-urban cleavage, and social policy.
Download or read book Rationalizing Rural Area Classifications for the Economic Research Service written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (USDA/ERS) maintains four highly related but distinct geographic classification systems to designate areas by the degree to which they are rural. The original urban-rural code scheme was developed by the ERS in the 1970s. Rural America today is very different from the rural America of 1970 described in the first rural classification report. At that time migration to cities and poverty among the people left behind was a central concern. The more rural a residence, the more likely a person was to live in poverty, and this relationship held true regardless of age or race. Since the 1970s the interstate highway system was completed and broadband was developed. Services have become more consolidated into larger centers. Some of the traditional rural industries, farming and mining, have prospered, and there has been rural amenity-based in-migration. Many major structural and economic changes have occurred during this period. These factors have resulted in a quite different rural economy and society since 1970. In April 2015, the Committee on National Statistics convened a workshop to explore the data, estimation, and policy issues for rationalizing the multiple classifications of rural areas currently in use by the Economic Research Service (ERS). Participants aimed to help ERS make decisions regarding the generation of a county rural-urban scale for public use, taking into consideration the changed social and economic environment. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
