Private screen access in early adolescence predicts subsequent academic and social impairment at the end of high school for boys and girls
CONCLUSION: The bedroom as an early adolescent screen-based zone does not predict long-term positive health and well-being. Pediatric recommendations to parents and youth should be more resolute about bedrooms being screen-free zones and about unlimited access in private exposures in childhood.PMID:38353938 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.2.01 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)

Physical activity, organized sport participation and active transportation to school among Canadian youth by gender identity and sexual attraction
CONCLUSION: Non-cisgender youth and youth reporting nonheterosexual attraction tended to participate less in organized sports than their counterparts, but may have engaged in more active transportation. Mitigating the barriers associated with sport participation could increase physical activity among these groups.PMID:38353939 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.2.02 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)

Associations between negative COVID-19 experiences and symptoms of anxiety and depression: a study based on a representative Canadian national sample
CONCLUSION: This study provides insight into the relationship between COVID-19 and Canadians' mental health, demonstrating an increased prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms associated with COVID-19-related adversities and common prepandemic determinants of these symptoms. The findings suggest that mental health during the pandemic was primarily shaped by traditional determinants of depression and anxiety symptoms and also by negative experiences during the pandemic.PMID:38353940 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.2.03 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)

Exploring the association between the proximity to and density around schools of retailers selling IQOS products and youth use of heated tobacco products: evidence from the 2020-2021 COMPASS study
CONCLUSION: While the school a student attended accounted for a significant amount of variability in HTP use, these findings suggest that students may be obtaining HTPs through other, non-retail sources. Continued monitoring is warranted as HTP use among youth may change.PMID:38231088 | PMC:PMC10849612 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.1.01 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)

The bio-food industry's corporate political activity during Health Canada's revision of Canada's food guide

Social disparities in alcohol consumption among Canadian emerging adults
CONCLUSION: Higher SES was associated with HED among EAs, although the magnitude of association was small. Universal prevention measures addressing the affordability, availability and marketing of alcohol could be complemented by interventions targeting EA populations at higher risk of HED.PMID:38117475 | PMC:PMC10824153 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.43.12.02 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)

Estimating the completeness of physician billing claims for diabetes case ascertainment: a multiprovince investigation
