abstract: 'Objectives Little is known about the nature of health inequalities
present among women who are mothers of young children in Canada.
Therefore, the purpose of the study is to identify dimensions of
inequalities based on socio-economic position, race, partner status, and
region and determine whether each type of inequality is independent of
another.
Methods Data are from the 2014 Canadian Community Health Survey. Women
identifying as a parent living with a child <= 5 years, with complete
data on the variables of interest, were selected (n = 2656). Poor health
was defined as the presence of two or more chronic conditions. Exposures
included partner status, education level, race, income, and region
(Quebec vs. rest of Canada). Logistic regression was used to estimate
the odds of poor health according to each exposure unadjusted and
adjusted for all other exposures. All analyses controlled for age and
employment status.
Results In the fully adjusted model, among mothers of young children,
the odds of poor health were significantly higher among non-white
identifying (OR = 1.72; 95\% CI = 1.34-2.21) and lone mothers (OR =
1.80; 95\% CI = 1.35-2.39), but were significantly lower among those
with higher incomes (OR{[}per decile] = 0.86; 95\% CI = 0.82-0.90) and
those from Quebec (vs. the rest of Canada; OR = 0.50; 95\% CI =
0.38-0.67).
Conclusions Living in Quebec compared to elsewhere in Canada appears to
protect against poor health among mothers of young children. Regardless
of region, health inequalities exist by socio-economic position, race,
and partnership status. These findings have implications for public
health programs and policies, such as universal child care.'
