The objectives of ACCES were: a) to examine the health, social needs, and quality of care of older adults in DAL and LTC facilities in Alberta, b) to identify the mix of services provided to these residents, including assistance from family caregivers, and c) to examine health outcomes across settings, taking resident and facility characteristics into account.

Are mothers opting out? Exploring underemployment among mothers with preschool children
(2025-12) Breitkreuz, Rhonda; Cadrain, Laura; Dyckerhoff, Jaira; Abraham, Haneen; Robbenhaar, Madeline
This work is the final report of a SSHRC funded study titled: Are mothers opting out? Exploring underemployment among mothers with preschool children. The study was done by a research group in the Department of Human Ecology at the University of Alberta called the Gender, Family, & Policy Research Initiative. This report was prepared to present the findings of a mixed-method study conducted on maternal employment in Alberta. Data were collected in 2019-2020. Focus groups and interviews were completed with 58 mothers of preschool children to explore their experiences with work-family integration. The aim of this research was to provide a more complex understanding of the social, economic, and policy factors that contribute to mothers' decisions regarding employment, particularly when they had preschool children. The implications of the employment pathways taken by mothers for maternal wellbeing and gender equality were explored.
