  • Because I am a combat arms instructor, I deal with this kind of situation all the time. According to the CDC/National Center for Health Statistics, firearm injuries are the second leading cause of injury/death in the United States and have killed more than 28,000 Americans every year since 1972.

  • While preparing a report to address troubles in the child welfare system, [Jon Gerrard] discovered Manitoba kids between the ages of four and 17 have the highest per capita use of Ritalin and other drugs to treat Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Those statistics, compiled by IMS HEALTH, Canada, a health statistics and information company, say in 2004 there were 15.8 pills of Ritalin, Dexedrine and Alertec, prescribed for every child in Manitoba between the ages of four and 17. In 1999, Manitoba kids had the second lowest per capita use of Ritalin and other ADHD medication.

  • Manitoba Health statistics show the number of chlamydia cases has been creeping up in recent years, along with other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The average number of monthly infections reported jumped by 80 between 2006 and 2007, helping the province record about 531 new infections each month between January and November last year. The short answer is I don't know," [Joel Kettner] said. "This isn't easy work and I'm not going to pretend its always successful.

  • Based on a thorough assessment of the extensive data set generated by our sampling program, our study report concluded that: "Generally, the air quality in the Transcona area was found to be good with air quality guidelines rarely being exceeded. Air pollutant levels were generally very low, typically only a small fraction of the air quality guidelines and similar to the air quality found in other areas of Winnipeg." Our data do not support the claim that air quality is worse in Transcona nor do they support the contention that measurements made at Transcona locations are markedly different from measurements made in other areas of Winnipeg. The article regarding the new abortion clinic opening somewhere in Winnipeg contained some interesting information. The article stated, "Unlike elec...

  • The statement comes as no surprise to [Claudia Simpson]. "It was exactly what we anticipated them to say," she said, and that was why the health board requested that Alberta Health Services not release the findings of the report. "They undermined us by not counting the statistics as we had recommended. The latest statement from Alberta Health Services regarding cancer numbers in Fort Chip was made in February, but Simpson pointed out that the same report was initially released in 2008. Field's latest statement is based on revisiting the report "to ensure everything had been counted," said Simpson. "They're essentially saying the same thing. They're saying the prevalence of cancer is the same throughout Alberta." If an 80-year-old Elder is saying, 'I've never seen this kind of cancer i...

  • Interactions such as these may be quite stressful for the parent, contributing to small behavioral changes that add up to a decline in the quality of parenting (Ambert 2001).\n Thus, it is unlikely that regional and income differences between the samples account for the ethnic differences that we found regarding the association between childhood obesity and parental behavior. Given the high levels of attention accorded to obesity and widely publicized statements about an "obesity epidemic," it is possible that the gap between African American and European American parents has narrowed over time because recent public discussion has increased the salience of the issue among African American parents.

  • An annual Fraser Institute study released yesterday uses Statistics Canada data on the most recent five-year trends to show that public health spending in every province continues to grow faster, on average, than total revenues from all sources -- including federal transfers. Health care is taking up an increasing share of provincial revenue over time, leaving proportionally less money for every thing else. Public health spending in six of the 10 provinces is on pace to consume more than half of total revenue by the year 2020, two-thirds by the year 2035, and all provincial revenue by 2050. A cross-country comparison also shows that public health spending in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Quebec is on pace to reach 50 per cent of total revenue later than the other provin...

  • Greg Sorbara staged a triumphant return to his old job as Ontario's finance minister yesterday after a surprise cabinet shuffle that restored his reputation's former lustre and dealt a blow to the Liberal government's most criticized minister. The first budget for $13.6 million in sponsorships came down in 1995-96 and left [Chuck Guite]'s section of the Public Works Department flush in money and excitement, according to Huguette Tremblay, Guite's former assistant. "The sky's the limit," Tremblay wrote on a budget document submitted in court yesterday. "Well, we're now floating in orbit. TORONTO -- Babies born in Ontario to teenaged, poor or foreign mothers are getting caught in a "discriminatory" fee-based birth registration process that's skewing national statistics, Health Canada's...
