Comparing apples with apples

The taxonomy is grounded in current definitions from the World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization,…
Digital vs. conventional instructor-led midwifery training in Benue State, Nigeria
Background Many health education institutions in African countries such as Nigeria face increasing enrolment of students but lack an adequate number of instructors to train them. If digital learning can be demonstrated effective in augmenting knowledge and skills, this approach could help fill this gap and improve education efficiency. A needs assessment in two Nigerian midwifery schools confirmed that digital learning would be feasible and welco…
“Our Home Is a Muddy Structure”
Aging occurs in a variety of social and physical environmental settings that affect health. However, despite their rapidly growing populations, public health research in sub-Saharan Africa has yet to address the role of residential environments in the health and well-being of older adults. In this study, we utilized an ethnographic research methodology to explore barriers and facilitators to health among older adults residing in two contrasting n…
Quality of life of older adults in two contrasting neighbourhoods in Accra, Ghana
As is the case elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana is experiencing a rapid increase in the population of older adults. Despite their rising numbers, the living conditions and wellbeing of older Ghanaians remain woefully understudied. This paper presents the results of a study exploring the quality of life (QoL) of older adults in two contrasting neighbourhoods in Accra, Ghana. The objectives of the study were to: (1) explore and compare the Qo…

Postnatal home visitation
BACKGROUND: Newborn mortality remains unacceptably high in many countries. Postnatal home visits (PNHVs) have been endorsed as a strategy for delivery of postnatal care (PNC) to reduce newborn mortality as well as to improve maternal outcomes. This paper reports on a review of coverage-related performance of such programs implemented at scale through government health services in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Malawi, Myanmar, Nep…
Synthèse des connaissances sur les facteurs de protection liés à la délinquance1
La plupart des enfants et des adolescents qui commettent des actes délinquants ne persistent pas dans la criminalité une fois à l’âge adulte. Ainsi, on conçoit qu’il y a dans l’environnement immédiat des facteurs qui protègent les enfants et les adolescents à risque. Or, la documentation sur les facteurs de protection montre des lacunes. Notamment, très peu d’études nous renseignent sur les fondements conceptuels et méthodologiques qui encadrent …
Spousal Separation and Interpretation of Contraceptive Use and Unmet Need in Rural Nepal
In this Comment, "spousal separation" refers to married couples living apart due to temporary migration; the term is distinct from the DHS category "divorced or separated."

The female community health volunteer programme in Nepal
Étude de relance auprès des détenus fédéraux traités en milieu psychiatrique
While severe mental disorders have consistently been shown to be more prevalent among inmates of penal institutions than among the general population, the provision of mental health within jails, prisons and penitentiaries has always been, and continues to be, problematic. The present investigation was designed to examine the impact on patients of one organizational model of mental health care for penitentiary inmates. Ninety-nine men who were tr…
De l’agressivité à la maternité1
L’agressivité chez les filles tend à ne pas se manifester de la même façon que chez les garçons ; de plus, elle suit une trajectoire longitudinale particulière. Les filles agressives envers leurs pairs ne se caractérisent pas tant par leurs manifestations de délinquance et de criminalité ; elles s’orientent plutôt vers une trajectoire de troubles sociaux et de santé mentale qui, à terme, compromet leur avenir scolaire, social et professionnel, de…
