Advocating for Policy Change: Examples Emerging From a Medical-Legal Partnership in Primary Care
This study consisted of a document review and thematic analysis, triangulated with data from interviews with legal team members and health providers. We defined policy advocacy as actions associated with attempts to change policy or legislation. The medical-legal partnership engaged in seven distinct cases of policy advocacy: disability support form requirements, changing workplace review, challenging barriers to citizenship, housing, publicly funded medication program (pharma care), safe injection sites, and the need for increased social assistance. Actions taken included presentations at conferences and submissions of br...

Decline in the Conception Rate of Wild Japanese Monkeys after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident
We examined the conception rate of wild Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) in Fukushima City that were exposed to radiation as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011. The conception rate in the year of delivery from 2009 to 2022 was estimated by dissecting individuals that were euthanized by the government for population control as a countermeasure against crop damage. To evaluate the effects of exposure, the cumulative exposure dose for each individual was calculated using the concentration of radiocesium deposited in the soil at the capture site and the concentration of radiocesium in...
