  • Implementation and evaluation of a family planning intervention engaging mothers-in-law of young women in India

    Open AccessLakshmi Gopalakrishnan, Usha Choudhary et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    BACKGROUND: Despite evidence that mothers-in-law (MILs) influence daughters-in-law's (DILs) fertility and family planning decisions in South Asia, emphasizing early fertility and male grandchildren, few reproductive health interventions engage MILs directly. OBJECTIVES: We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and qualitative impact of a reproductive health and life skill-based intervention on MILs in tribal Rajasthan, India, using a mixed-met…

  • Vivre au-delà de 105 ans

    Open AccessFrance Meslé, Jacques Vallin et al.ARTICLEPopulation & Sociétés2024

    Le nombre de décès aux très grands âges a considérablement augmenté dans les deux dernières décennies. Le décompte exact de ces décès que documente la base de données internationale sur la longévité n’est établi qu’après un processus strict de validation de l’âge. Ce sont essentiellement des femmes qui atteignent ces grands âges. Les supercentenaires (110 ans ou plus) sont surreprésentés aux Antilles

  • Women's Perspectives on the Unique Benefits and Challenges of Self‐Injectable Contraception

    Open AccessEmily Himes, Lauren Suchman et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2024References: 25

    Implementing self‐injection (SI) of subcutaneous depot‐medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA‐SC) is a key self‐care strategy for sexual and reproductive health, but SI uptake remains low, and assertions about the potential of SI to increase women's control over contraceptive use lack evidence. We sought to qualitatively explore how women with diverse contraceptive experiences—including those with and without experience using SI—view the benefits and …

  • Analyzing fast and slow

    Open AccessLauren Suchman, Elizabeth Omoluabi et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2023Cited by: 1References: 5

    Much of the methodological literature on rapid qualitative analysis describes processes used by a relatively small number of researchers focusing on one study site and using rapid analysis to replace a traditional analytical approach. In this paper, we describe the experiences of a transnational research consortium integrating both rapid and traditional qualitative analysis approaches to develop social theory while also informing program design. …

  • Is East-West Life Expectancy Gap Narrowing in the Enlarged European Union

    Open AccessDomantas Jasilionis, France Meslé et al.ARTICLEComparative Population Studies2023References: 5

    The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 and EU enlargement in 2004 are two major political events in the recent history of the Central and Eastern European region. By systematically comparing the changes and differences in life expectancy at birth between the seven new member countries from Central and Eastern Europe and more advanced countries of the EU-15, this article attempts to identify the vanguards and laggards in the health convergence proces…

  • The question of the human mortality plateau

    Open AccessLinh Hoang Khanh Dang, Carlo Giovanni Camarda et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2023Cited by: 1References: 26

    The debate about limits to the human life span is often based on outcomes from mortality at the oldest ages among longevity pioneers. To this day, scholars disagree on the existence of a late-life plateau in human mortality. Amid various statistical analys

  • Cohérence des données sur les causes de décès à l'échelle infranationale

    Open AccessInna Danilova, Roland Rau et al.ARTICLEPopulation2022Cited by: 1References: 32

    Les pratiques de certification et de codage des causes initiales de décès ne sont pas toutes les mêmes, ce qui peut nuire à la pertinence et la fiabilité des statistiques de mortalité par cause. La cohérence de ces données au sein d'un même pays peut être considérée comme un critère de qualité. Cet article évalue la cohérence à l'échelle infranationale des statistiques sur les causes de décès en Russie, en Allemagne, aux États-Unis et en France. …

  • Investigating the eightfold difference in supercentenarians in the French West Indies compared to metropolitan France

    Jacques VallinARTICLEGérontologie et société2021

    On observe beaucoup plus de supercentenaires en Martinique et en Guadeloupe que dans n’importe quel département de France métropolitaine. La procédure de validation des âges, pourtant au meilleur niveau international, est-elle insuffisante pour les Antilles ? Il faut absolument vérifier. C’est avant tout ce à quoi vise cet article. Mais si un contrôle approfondi des faits confirme ce résultat, comment peut-on expliquer un écart aussi impressionna…

    After the time of the Great Duchy of Lithuania and that of their inclusion to Russian Empire, the three Baltic countries got their first independence after WWI, but WWII forced them to enter the Soviet Union for almost five decades before getting their second independence and resuming with market economy, to finally join the European Union. Such strong historical changes caused major impacts (either positive or negative) on the implementation of …

  • Adult mortality patterns in the former Soviet Union's southern tier

    BACKGROUND: While the health crisis in the former USSR has been well-documented in the case of Russia and other northern former Soviet republics, little is known about countries located in the southern tier of the region, i.e., the Caucasus and Central Asia. OBJECTIVE: This paper presents new mortality information from two Caucasian countries, Georgia and Armenia. Results are compared with information from two relevant countries previously examin…

Cette étude a pour but d'identifier dans quelle mesure, en Finlande, en Suède et en Norvège, la population qui n'appartient pas à cette avant-garde pourrait suivre les trajectoires de mortalité déjà tracées par les pionniers aux différents groupes d'âges…

  • The Recent Mortality Decline in Russia

    Open AccessPavel Grigoriev, France Meslé et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2014Cited by: 31References: 37

    The health situation in Russia has often been characterized as a long-running crisis. From the 1960s until the beginning of the 2000s, the declining life expectancy trend was substantially interrupted only twice: once in the mid-1980s as a result of Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign, and again at the end of the 1990s as a result of the "rebound" effect following the dramatic rise in mortality associated with the acute socioeconomic crisis. In bot…

  • High Sex Ratios at Birth in the Caucasus

    Open AccessGéraldine Duthé, France Meslé et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2012Cited by: 17References: 17

    During the 1990s, the sex ratio at birth increased considerably and simultaneously in the three independent Caucasian countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. At the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, levels remain abnormally high in Armenia and Azerbaijan (above 114 male births per 100 female births) and show erratic trends in Georgia. Analyzing data from demographic surveys carried out around 2005, we confirm the persisten…

    Open AccessOlga Penina, France Meslé et al.ARTICLEPopulation2011Cited by: 1References: 8

    Dans certains pays de l'ex-URSS, les évolutions apparentes de la mortalité sont perturbées par des phases d'amélioration ou de dégradation de la qualité des statistiques. En Moldavie, la qualité de la mesure de la mortalité infantile s'est brusquement améliorée au début des années 1970, mais continue de poser quelques problèmes jusqu'à ce jour. Le changement des années 1970 est particulièrement important car l'attention alors portée par les autor…
