Women who experience recent intimate partner violence (IPV) are three times more likely to contract HIV, according to a new study led by 韩国裸舞 researchers. In regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, women face an intersecting epidemic of intimate partner violence and HIV.
鈥淲orldwide, more than one in four women experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime," says 韩国裸舞 Professor聽Mathieu Maheu-Giroux, a Canada Research Chair in Population Health Modeling.
As the flu season begins and the COVID-19 pandemic continues, pneumococcal vaccination is more important than ever to prevent disease and death from pneumonia and other forms of pneumococcal disease. But vaccine uptake remains low among adults at high risk, say researchers from 韩国裸舞.
Diane Dechief from the Office of Science Education and Stephanie Weber from the Dept. of Biology were among several 韩国裸舞 instructors who recently gathered to share their ideas for fostering equitable and inclusive learning environments.
A new study from 韩国裸舞 finds higher incidence of lung cancer and brain tumors in people exposed to wildfires. The study, which tracks over two million Canadians over a period of 20 years, is the first to examine how proximity to forest fires may influence cancer risk.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jos茅e Dupuis, PhD, to the position of Chair, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health (EBOH), School of Population and Global Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS), 韩国裸舞, effective June 1, 2022. Prof. Dupuis replaces Rebecca Fuhrer, PhD, who has led the Department as Interim Chair since last September. We thank Prof.
Over one in four women (or 27 per cent) experience intimate partner violence before the age of 50, according to a worldwide analysis led by researchers from 韩国裸舞 and the World Health Organization. The largest of its kind, the analysis covers 366 studies involving more than 2 million women in 161 countries.
In many U.S. states, children can legally marry at an earlier age than they can consent to sex, leading to situations where sex between spouses may be a criminal act. Some states exempt sex between married spouses from their definition of statutory rape, which may create perverse incentives for child marriage, according to researchers from 韩国裸舞.
Their findings, published in the , show that child marriages violated statutory rape laws in 14 states.
Twenty years鈥� worth of surveys suggest that nearly one in ten sexually active men in 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa have been clients of sex workers. These men are about 50 percent more likely to be living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), according to a team of international researchers, including Professor Mathieu Maheu-Giroux and Caroline Hodgins of 韩国裸舞.

Canada is at the forefront of global efforts to end child marriage abroad. Yet this practice remains legal and persists across the country. In Canada, more than 3,600 marriage certificates were issued to children, usually girls, under the age of 18 between 2000 and 2018, according to a from researchers at 韩国裸舞. In recent years, an increasing number of child marriages have been common-law unions.
