ACCES Research Group 10
The Alberta Continuing Care Epidemiological Studies (ACCES) was a province-wide research program involving over 2,000 older adults residing in designated assisted/supportive living facilities (DAL) and in long-term care facilities (LTC) between 2006 and 2009, their family caregivers, and the facilities in which they lived. 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.

Examining the Perceptions and Experiences of Women & Gender-Diverse People Who Have Survived a Drug Poisonning & Overdose in Edmonton's Inner City
(2025-03-11) Morris, Heather
SSHRC PEG awarded 2025: Women and gender diverse persons (womxn) who use drugs experience a complex interplay of social, psychological, economic, and cultural factors, with distinct patterns of drug use, health risks, and structural vulnerabilities when compared to men. They fac-e unique experiences of stigma and discrimination rooted in gender inequities, which can dramatically affect their access to healthcare and social support and negatively impact their risk of drug poisoning/overdose. Very few studies have explored the perceptions and experiences of individuals who have experienced a drug poisoning/overdose and there is a paucity of gender-specific research. A recent cross-sectional study of people who use drugs in Edmonton's inner city undertaken by members of our research team found that 168/499 participants (33.7%) identified as female (7/499 or 1.4% gender diverse). A total of 56/168 (33.3%) of women and 3/7 (43%) of gender diverse people indicated that they had overdosed in the past 6 months. While womxn are at risk, they have not received sufficient targeted attention with respect to the toxic drug crisis. This research seeks to provide an evidence base with which to guide a more gender-specific response. We will use narrative research paired with arts-based methods to explore how experiences of drug poisoning/overdose as described by womxn in Edmonton's inner city are shaped by gender and its intersection with structural disadvantages. More specifically, our research objectives are to: 1) Inquire into the subjective experiences of drug poisoning/overdose as described by womxn (including the circumstances that precipitated drug poisoning/overdose and its impacts); 2) Map the current health and social service utilization patterns of womxn; 3) Identify the need for gender-sensitive and gender-specific programs and policies for womxn; and 4) Examine the strengths that womxn possess as survivors of dmg poisoning/overdose. We will utilize culturally appropriate methods that are grounded in a trauma and violence-informed approach. This project will generate evidence to guide practices aimed at supporting womxn who use drugs. We will contribute to the development of gender-sensitive and gender-specific policies while enriching public awareness about the struggles that womxn who use drugs face in light of the current and ongoing drug poisoning crisis.

Au-delà des deux solitudes dans le monde canadien des bandes dessinées : vers des mondes transmédiatiques (avec le numérique, l'animation, et le jeu vidéo)
(2024-09-16) Reyns, Chris
SSHRC IG Awarded 2025: Le médium de la bande dessinée (BD) a pris un réel élan au Canada dans les années 90 en même temps que le boom du numérique. Très peu avait été écrit sur ces isolements et leurs passerelles dans le monde de la BD au Canada. La première partie de notre projet a donc contribué à remédier à ce vide avec nos nombreuses publications de ces quatre dernières années sur lesquelles nous voulons bâtir en approfondissant nos recherches sur ses relations avec les mondes connexes. La décennie des années 1990 peut aussi être considérée comme cruciale pour l'explosion du numérique, des jeux vidéo et des dessins animés. La BD a profondément été affectée par ce autre boom dans les quatre solitudes et dans les mondes de la production, diffusion et réception. Son implication grandissante dans ces mondes médiatiques connexes apparait clairement dans les rapports que nous avons eu avec les acteurs de ce monde de la BD lors de nos recherches, même si c'est de manière inégale et différente dans les quatre solitudes et selon les acteurs (auteurs, éditeurs, diffuseurs, consommateurs). Or ceci n'a pas encore été étudié ni empiriquement ni théoriquement. Avec notre nouveau projet pour les trois prochaines années nous désirons donc prolonger notre recherche en nous concentrant davantage sur les types de rapports que ces acteurs du monde de la BD entretiennent avec ces mondes médiatiques connexes (collaboration, compétition, rejet). Si la dernière année de la première CRSH, nous nous pencherons sur la BD et le numérique au Canada (2025), la première année de la nouvelle CRSH portera sur la BD et le dessin animé (2026) et la deuxième, sur sa relation avec les jeux vidéo (2027); la troisième année 2028 en fera la synthèse. A partir d'entretiens avec les nombreux et divers producteurs médiatiques (artistes, éditeurs, et distributeurs) et de lectures critiques et théoriques, nous voulons établir des comparaisons avec des recherches déjà faites pour d'autres domaines géographiques (e.g., France) et avec des modèles théoriques de ces relations et chercher à savoir s'il y a des spécificités québécoises et canadiennes. Il s'agit de comprendre comment les acteurs québécois, canadiens anglophones et autochtones de la BD utilisent ces médias connexes pour développer leurs marchés. Pour ce projet nous avons réuni une équipe multidisciplinaire et multiculturelle de chercheur.e.s et étudiant.e.s spécialisé.e.s.
