The impacts of extreme heat events on non-accidental, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality: An analysis of 12 Canadian cities from 2000 to 2020 Open
Extreme heat has significant impacts on mortality. In Canada, past research has analyzed the degree to which non-accidental mortality increases during single extreme heat events; however, few studies have considered multiple causes of deat…

Inequality in the Distribution of Air Pollution Attributable Mortality Within Canadian Cities Open
Recent studies have identified inequality in the distribution of air pollution attributable health impacts, but to our knowledge this has not been examined in Canadian cities. We evaluated the extent and sources of inequality in air pollut…

The prevalence of household air conditioning in Canada Open
Household air conditioning is one of the most effective approaches for reducing the health impacts of heat exposure; however, few studies have measured the prevalence of household air conditioning in Canada. This study explores the prevale…

Impact of lowering fine particulate matter from major emission sources on mortality in Canada: A nationwide causal analysis Open
Emissions of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) from human activities have been linked to substantial disease burdens, but evidence regarding how reducing PM 2.5 at its sources would improve public health is sparse. We followed a population…

Examining the Association between Community-Level Marginalization and Emergency Room Wait Time in Ontario, Canada Open
Reductions in community-level marginalization may impact ER wait time. Future studies using individual-level data are necessary.

A Bayesian spatial shared component model for identifying crime-general and crime-specific hotspots Open
The spatial patterning of crime hotspots provides place-based information for the design, allocation, and implementation of crime prevention policies and programmes. However, most spatial hotspot identification methods are univariate, anal…

Spatiotemporal crime patterns and the urban environment: Evidence for planning and place-based policy Open
Crime and disorder influence individual quality of life, community social cohesion, and processes of neighbourhood and urban change. Existing studies that analyze local crime and disorder patterns generally focus only on where crime and di…

Exploring the Socioeconomic Composition of Wind Farm Communities in Ontario: Implications for Wind Farm Planning and Policy Open
This research explores the socioeconomic composition of sixteen wind farm communities in Ontario, Canada, for wind farms commissioned between 2006 and 2012. Past research has shown that wind farms are disproportionately developed in socioe…

Analyzing Local Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Police Calls-for-Service Using Bayesian Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation Open
This research investigates spatio-temporal patterns of police calls-for-service in the Region of Waterloo, Canada, at a fine spatial and temporal resolution. Modeling was implemented via Bayesian Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (IN…
