📢 I’m taking 6 months off to catch up on my research projects. I'll be back at @UofT_dlsph Jan. 2, 2024, but I may not be back on Twitter given the instability & spread of misinformation on the platform, and the mental health toll it has on some. Might consider other options.

Housing -- not just access to it, but the health and safety of it -- is a public health issue. Kudos to this @UofT_dlsph-based consortium for providing researchers with the data they need to help inform policies and practices.
We've got a 🌟brand new dataset🌟on the CANUE portal: Dwellings Needing Repairs.
Obtained from Statistics Canada for 2016 and 2021, the proportion of dwellings requiring major repairs have been indexed to all Canadian postal codes for these two years.

.@uoft_dlsph's @UofT_ijb published #Suspended, a deeply researched series examining problems with Ontario's system for removing people's drivers' licenses on medical grounds. There is now a bill to change that system.
Independent MPP @M_Mantha tabled a private member's bill today that would change Ontario's system for reporting medically unfit drivers to Ontario's transportation ministry.
The current system, he says, is "definitely hurting a lot of people."
