Inside a Killer Drug Epidemic: A Look at Canada’s Opioid Crisis
Get PDF“Comprehensive, collaborative, compassionate and evidence-based”are the words used to describe the Government of Canada’sapproach in addressing the opioid crisis. An average of eight peopledie every day due to opioid overdose. This is greater than the numberof Canadians lost in 1995 to the HIV epidemic. This multi-facetedcrisis is far beyond the illegal drug market and the increased use offentanyl and other illegal opioid drugs. The crisis has deeperrootsthat liein high level addiction to legal opioids caused byinappropriate prescribing practices and lack of education about therisks of opioid usage
Women’s Cardiovascular Health: The Heart Truth
Get PDFThe importance of studying women’s cardiovascular health lies in alarming global trends where, despite a lower prevalence of cardiovascular disease, women have higher mortality rates. The contribution of amultifactorial web to women’s cardiovascular disease mortality in the face of significant medical advances is explored.This study asks: What are the biomedical and socio-environmental factors that can provide plausible explanations for the higher cardiovascular mortality trends observed in women? The underlying thread in this multifactorial web is the long-standing discrimination that continues to permeate women’s lives. A trans-sector policy on gender equity in areas of biomedical research, healthcare delivery, and economics—backed by strong political will to address the research gap, wage gap, and political and policy exclusion—is discussed
Pharmacare: The Unfinished Business of Canadian Medicare
Get PDFCanada has the unique distinction of being the only country with a universal national healthcare care plan not to include Pharmacare: the universal, public coverage of prescription drugs. A literature review was conducted to investigate the benefits of implementing Pharmacare. Historically, little progress has been made toward a universal drug plan. Pharmacare would ensure that all Canadians receive equitable access to safe, cost-effective, and appropriately prescribed medicines. Additionally, universal, publicly managed drug coverage ensures that prescriptions are contingent on contemporary medical evidence by integrating the management of medical and hospital care. Finally, Pharmacare would save billions of dollars, hence stimulating the federal and provincial economies and aiding Canadian businesses. Pharmacare is the only suitable option as the current fragmented patchwork of public and private drug plans become increasingly unsustainable
Group Dynamics: An Observational Case Study in Group Behaviour
Get PDFGroup dynamics encompass a system of complex interactions and behaviours influenced by social norms and individual motives. This study analyzes three key areas of group behaviour: formation, structure, and conflict. These areas are explored through a comparative approach, juxtaposing in-class group experiences with relevant peer-reviewed literature. The study of group behaviour, a popular topic in scholarly literature, has versatile applicability, including understanding group decision-making and facilitating teamwork. However, what remains unknown is the generalizability of research findings. This observational case study of group behaviour shows the development of structure and norms by an in-class group. The in-class group, consisting of four members, met weekly to work on a variety of academic tasks over 12 weeks for a Behaviour in Groups course at York University (Toronto, Canada). Both the psychology literature and the in-class group experiences reveal that group formation, structure, and conflict resolution are all dynamic processes, and that challenges and conflicts are inevitable. The findings of this observational study present support for previous research on social influences, group developmental stages, and the negative impact of group members’ conflicting perceptions of task conflict on task performance
