..These effects may be detectable by clinical examination. However, the results should be interpreted with caution given that alcohol use was probably under-reported and that multiple outcomes were studied...

..We sought to determine how very high educational attainment is associated with PTB, and to assess differences by maternal age and nativity...

..To assess whether a child's age relative to the median age of classmates in the same grade is associated with the onset of gambling...

..We evaluated educational inequalities in preterm and term SGA birth over time, accounting for potential bias at preterm gestational ages...

..Few studies have evaluated the relationship between preterm birth (PTB) and maternal education over time. We sought to determine whether educational inequalities in PTB have increased in Québec, Canada...

..To evaluate preterm birth (PTB) for Inuit and First Nations vs. non-Indigenous populations in the province of Québec, Canada. Study design: Retrospective cohort study...

..Patterns were similar for SGA birth and severe cases of LBW. Despite overall decreases LBW and SGA birth, relative and absolute inequalities increased over time. Perinatal health inequalities are increasing for Haitian-born mothers...

..Differentials in life expectancy favouring Anglophones decreased over time, but varied across areas of Québec. Tobacco-related causes accounted for the majority of the current life expectancy gap...

..Future research is needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying these differences to implement equity-oriented approaches for reducing differential exposures, vulnerability or consequences of injury mortality...

..To evaluate relative and absolute relationships between preterm birth (PTB) and neighborhood education over time...

..Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields has been linked to adverse birth outcomes. This study evaluated whether maternal residential proximity to power transmission lines was associated with adverse birth outcomes...

..The relation between income inequality and mortality in Canada is unclear, and modifying effects of characteristics such as immigration have not been examined...

....

..To determine the age and cause groups contributing to absolute and relative socio-economic inequalities in paediatric mortality, hospitalisation and tumour incidence over time...

..Odds were not elevated over a long-term exposure period. This study suggests a weak association between PTB and exposure to extreme weather for the two months following an ice storm, but not for later periods after the storm...

..An analysis of which causes of death, in which age groups, are implicated in this trend is necessary to understand it and provide clear targets for intervention...

..We evaluated late pregnancy abortions from 1981 to 2006 in Québec, Canada...

..The relationship between electromagnetic field exposure and stillbirth has not been evaluated. We assessed associations between residential proximity to extremely low frequency power transmission lines and stillbirth across gestational age...

..We evaluated temporal and regional inequalities in adverse birth outcomes between Anglophones and Francophones of a Canadian province...

..We evaluated associations between maternal comorbidities and PTB by clinical subtype and gestational age...

..Whether a graded association of increasing magnitude is present across the urban-rural continuum, accounting for SES, is unclear. We examined the association between rural-urban continuum, SES and adverse birth outcomes...

..To determine if impulsivity and socio-economic status (SES) interact to influence gambling onset in youth...

..How youth perceive marketing messages in sports is poorly understood. We evaluated whether youth perceive that the imagery of a specific sports marketing advertisement contained smoking-related messages...

..This study investigated age- and sex-specific life expectancy differentials related to area-level material deprivation for the province of Québec, Canada from 1989-2004...

..The association between area characteristics and birth outcomes is modified by race. Whether such associations vary according to social class indicators beyond race has not been assessed...

..The reason for this imbalance is unclear. Further research in other Western settings is necessary to evaluate the possibility of sex selection...

..The joint contribution of these exposures has not been evaluated. We tested for effect modification between IPI and marriage, controlling for neighborhood...

..We conclude with two points: 1) the importance of using strategies based on evidence, and 2) the importance of rigorous evaluation of innovative strategies...
