Neighborhood-level analyses of influenza vaccination can identify the characteristics of vulnerable neighborhoods, which can inform public health strategy for future pandemics. In this study, the authors analyzed rates of 2009 pandemic A/H1N1 influenza vaccination in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, using individual-level vaccination records from a vaccination registry with census, survey, and adminis...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Foster care Juvenile delinquency Neighborhood characteristics Neighborhood social process This study aims to advance the knowledge base by investigating where foster youth are placed in terms of neighborhood characteristics and whether specific neighborhood characteristics were associated with delinquency for adolescents in the child welfare system. This study fo...

This study estimates the effects of place on the distribution of health problems, health-related quality of life, general well-being, and family functioning for youths and adults aged 12 years and older. Data come from the Ontario Health Survey, a cross-sectional study done in 1990 to provide baseline statistical data on population health within 42 public health units throughout the province. P...

Studies of political participation typically analyze voting, contentious collective action, or membership in voluntary associations. Few scholars investigate a more mundane—but highly consequential—form of neighborhood politics: requests for basic city services. We conceptualize city service requests as a direct, instrumental contact with local government that alters the geographical distributi...

BACKGROUND We sought to examine whether neighborhood deprivation is associated with participation in a large population-based health check. Such analyses will help answer the question whether health checks, which are designed to meet the needs of residents in deprived neighborhoods, may increase participation and prove to be more effective in preventing disease. In Europe, no study has previous...

The main object of this paper is to prove several inclusion relations associated with (j, δ)-neighborhoods of various subclasses defined by Salagean operator by making use of the familiar concept of neighborhoods of analytic functions. Special cases of some of these inclusion relations are shown to yield known results.

The purpose of the present paper is to make use of the familiar concept of neighborhoods of analytic functions. Several inclusion relations associated with the (n, δ) neighborhoods of various subclasses defined by Sălăgean operator are proved. Special cases of these results are shown to yield known results in the literature.

BACKGROUND Individuals of low socioeconomic status experience a disproportionate burden of chronic conditions; however it is unclear whether chronic condition burden affects survival differently across socioeconomic strata. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used health administrative data from all residents of Ontario, Canada aged 65 to 105 with at least one of 16 chronic conditions on ...

We study definably complete locally o-minimal expansions of ordered groups in this paper. A definable continuous function defined on a closed, bounded and set behave like compact set. demonstrate uniform continuity Arzela-Ascoli-type theorem. propose notion special submanifolds with tubular neighborhoods show that any is decomposed into finitely many neighborhoods.
