The practice of Daylight Saving Time in Canada: Its suitability with respect to sleep and circadian rhythms
Can J Public Health. 2024 Mar 1. doi: 10.17269/s41997-024-00870-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDaylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks one hour forward from Standard Time (ST) in the spring and back again to ST in the fall. This commentary discusses the impact of bi-annual time changes on sleep and circadian rhythms and suggests avenues to minimize negative outcomes on the well-being of Canadian citizens. Ideally, ST should be close to solar time, meaning that daylight is equally distributed before and after noon time, i.e., when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. In Canada, some provinc...

A Manifesto for transformative action on HIV among Black communities in Canada
Can J Public Health. 2024 Feb 22. doi: 10.17269/s41997-024-00856-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlack communities bear a hugely disproportionate share of Canada's HIV epidemic. Black persons annually represent up to one quarter of new diagnoses, while in contrast, diagnoses have been falling among white Canadians for the past two decades. There has been a notable lack of urgency and serious debate about why the trend persists and what to do about it. For too long, public institutions have reproduced hegemonic white supremacy and profoundly mischaracterized Black life. Consequently, Black communities suffer policies and p...

Community water fluoride cessation and rate of caries-related pediatric dental treatments under general anesthesia in Alberta, Canada
CONCLUSION: Discontinuing water fluoridation appears to negatively affect young children's oral health, potentially leading to a significant increase in caries-related dental treatments under GA and oral health disparities in this pediatric population.PMID:38389035 | DOI:10.17269/s41997-024-00858-w (Source: Canadian Journal of Public Health)

D épistaFest: The evaluation of an inclusive, positive, and playful STBBI screening campaign's effectiveness
CONCLUSION: The findings support the effectiveness of an STBBI prevention campaign grounded in the health belief model. Future STBBI prevention campaigns aimed at young adults would benefit from destigmatizing STBBIs and normalizing STBBI screening using an inclusive, positive, and playful approach.PMID:38393551 | DOI:10.17269/s41997-024-00862-0 (Source: Canadian Journal of Public Health)
