Noise exposure has been the focus of research attention for nearly 40 years, since the classic work by Glass and Singer (1972). Several studies have documented adverse effects of chronic noise exposure on children, including disrupted reading acquisition (Bronzaft & McCarthy, 1975; Evans & Maxwell, 1997), memory impairment (Hygge, Evans, & Bullinger, 2002), and physiological stress responses (Evans, Hygge, & Bullinger, 1995). Fortunately, these effects appear to be reversible: The introduction of noise attenuation strategies resolved reading problems in elementary school children (Bronzaft, 1981), and the end of chronic noise exposure (because of the closing of a nearby airport) reversed the adverse effects on memory (Hygge et al., 2002).

In Québec, community psychologists have played an important role in the definition and measurement of family violence and conjugal violence, as well as proposing interventions to prevent these problems. Following the lead of [Bouchard] ([Chamberland], Bouchard, & Beaudry, 1986), Québec community psychologists have collaborated with others on large-scale epidemiological investigations on the prevalence of child abuse (Clément & Chamberland, 2007; Clément, Chamberland, & Trocmé, in press), conjugal violence (Lévesque, Clément, & Chamberland, 2007), and the co-occurrence of these two forms of violence (Lévesque et al., 2007). [Lavergne, C, Dufour], Trocmé, and Larrivée (2008) examined the rates of placement of minority and Aboriginal children in the child welfare system, an...
