Cultural Identity Development

AbstractThis paper relates findings from learning circles held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with urban Aboriginal men. The purpose of the circles was to determine how an Aboriginal cultural identity is formed in urban spaces. Education settings were mentioned by the research participants as a significant contribution to their cultural identity development. Participants described elementary and secondary school experiences as lacking in Aboriginal inclusion at best or as racist. In contrast to these earlier experiences, participants described their post-secondary education as enabling them to work on healing or decolonising themselves. Specific strategies for universities to contribute to individual decolonising journeys are mentioned. A university that contributes to decolonising and healing must provide space for Aboriginal students where they feel culturally safe. The students must have access to cultural knowledge and its keepers, such as elders. Their teachers must offer Indigenous course content and demonstrate respect and love for their students. Courses must be seen to be relevant to Indigenous people in their decolonising process and use teaching styles that include humour and engender a spirit of community in the classroom. In particular, Indigenous language courses are important to Aboriginal students.

Background Universal antenatal HIV screening programmes are an effective method of preventing mother-to-child transmission. Aims To assess the coverage and yield of the French programme on a nationally representative sample of pregnant women, and predictive factors for being unscreened or missing information on the performance/ result of a HIV test. Methods Data came from the medical records of women included in the cross-sectional 2016 French National Perinatal Survey. We calculated odds ratios (OR) to identify factors for being unscreened for HIV and for missing information by multivariable analyses. Results Of 13,210 women, 12,782 (96.8%) were screened for HIV and 134 (1.0%) were not; information was missing for 294 (2.2%). HIV infection was newly diagnosed in 19/12,769 (0.15%) women screened. The OR for being unscreened was significantly higher in women in legally registered partnerships (OR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.1–1.6), with 1–2 years of post-secondary schooling (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2–2.1), part-time employment (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1–1.8), inadequate antenatal care (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.5–2.4) and receiving care from > 1 provider (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.1–2.8). The OR of missing information was higher in multiparous women (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2–1.5) and women cared for by general practitioners (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1–1.9). Conclusions The French antenatal HIV screening programme is effective in detecting HIV among pregnant women. However, a few women are still not screened and awareness of the factors that predict this could contribute to improved screening levels.

Abstract Self-rated health (SRH), an individual’s assessment of their own health status, is associated with older adults’ chronic and acute health conditions, as well as mortality. Assessments of SRH indicate individual’s global health is likely multifaceted. Level of education, particularly amount of post-secondary schooling, is associated with better SRH. Other indices of socioeconomic status (SES) such as income and wealth, have varying associations with SRH partly dependent on relative deprivation (e.g. Gini Index). The current study utilized data from 2,500 members of the Project Talent Twin and Sibling (PTTS) Study interviewed as adolescents in 1960 and followed up 54 years later. In 2014, participants were, on average, 70 years of age. Women comprised about 54% of the sample. We examined rearing family wealth, years of education, and functional independence as mediators of variance in SRH. Mean-level results indicated small positive associations between SES and SRH. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) accounted for about a quarter of variance in SRH, with higher functional independence predicting better SRH. Biometric analyses indicated that family wealth had small mediation effects on SRH via familial-environment (S) influences. Education mediated individual-specific (E) environmental influences. Functional independence (measured by ADL) mediated SRH via both additive genetic (A) and E influences. After adjusting for overall effects of sex, age, and specified mediators, a large portion of remaining variation in SRH was due to individual-specific (E) environmental influences. Current results suggest complex underlying genetic and environmental mechanisms contributing to an older adult’s assessment of their own health.

Educational Leadership Preparation

This article examines liberatory pedagogical practices utilized in graduate level courses offered within an educational leadership preparation program (ELPP). The research explores how these tools support the development of culturally responsive school leadership and actively anti-racist leaders in a program purporting to develop social justice-oriented school leaders. The author analyzes data collected from student course evaluations (SCEs) and assignments in courses taught across two years. Findings indicate that students perceived the liberatory pedagogical practices employed within the course to be vital in pushing them towards disrupting the pathologies of racism and anti-Blackness cultivated during their primary through post-secondary schooling experiences. The findings also indicated that students responded positively to the use of liberatory pedagogical practices and frameworks that centered race and explicitly used race language.

Using the ENIGH covering 1984-2002, we analyze wages and employment in Mexico after trade liberalization and domestic reforms. We find that wage inequality and returns to post-secondary schooling increased rapidly during 1984-1994 but stabilized since that period. The end of inequality growth was due to a severe macroeconomic crisis which adversely impacted the better educated, an increase in education levels at the end of the 1990s, and a slowdown in skill demand in the latter half of the 1990s. Between industry shifts, consistent with tradebased explanations, account for a part of the increase in skill demand during 1984-1994, but these types of movements actually reduced the demand for skill in the latter part of the 1990s. The equalizing impact of trade was offset by within-industry demand shifts which continued to favor more educated workers. The Mexican experience in the 1990s suggests that market-oriented reforms have a sharp initial impact on inequality which dissipates over time but further that opening the economy to trade, foreign capital, and global markets does lead to a more long-run increase in the demand for skill.

Abstract Background Information about correlates of cannabis vaping in Europe is scarce. Methods In a cohort of 1613 Swiss young males currently using cannabis, we used logistic regression, adjusting for age, linguistic region and education to assess the association between sensation seeking, substance use and sociodemographic variables with cannabis vaping. Results Mean age was 25.38 years, 60.4% had post-secondary education and 57.3% lived in French-speaking cantons; 26.3% met criteria for nicotine dependence, 16.0% met criteria for alcohol use disorder and 34.9% used illicit drugs other than cannabis; 27.4% used cannabis at least twice a week and 27.8% met criteria for cannabis use disorder (CUD). Ninety-four participants (5.8%) reported cannabis vaping (of them 87.4% reported infrequent cannabis vaping). In the adjusted analysis, using joints with no tobacco {adjusted odds ratio (aOR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 1.45 (1.02–1.76)}, water pipe with [aOR (95% CI) = 1.70 (1.29–2.24)] and without tobacco [aOR (95% CI) = 2.15 (1.60–2.87)], cannabis mixed with food [aOR (95% CI) = 1.61 (1.29–2.02)], using cannabis >2 times a week [aOR (95% CI) = 3.73 (2.40–5.81)], meeting criteria for CUD [aOR (95% CI) = 4.19 (2.70–6.50)], using illicit drugs other than cannabis [aOR (95% CI) = 1.88 (1.23–2.87)], weekly number of alcohol drinks [aOR (95% CI) = 1.01 (1.00–1.03)] and living in the German-speaking area of Switzerland [aOR (95% CI) = 2.70 (1.71–4.25)] were associated with higher odds of cannabis vaping; post-secondary schooling [aOR (95% CI) = 0.37 (0.16–0.86)] and vocational training [aOR (95% CI) = 0.41 (0.17–0.99)] (as opposed to primary schooling) were associated with lower odds of cannabis vaping. Conclusion Cannabis vaping might be a marker of riskier behaviours among cannabis users.
