This study aimed to describe the sociodem…

Research indicates that health-professionals in receiving countries lack knowledge, confidence and competence in managing FGM/C. In order to develop policies that are suitable to the wide heterogeneity of women from FGM/C practising groups, it is paramount to identify what appropriate care might consist of and what are the knowledge …

They deal with negative stereotypes, including notions of paternal irresponsibility when it comes to embracing child care. This article looks at how exposure to the Belgian norms of fatherhood may redefine the fatherhood practices of African first-time fathers residing in Belgium. Drawing on a qualitative narr…

Data are based on 39,294 adolescents who participated in the three waves of the cross-sectional HBSC survey. Among adolescents living with separated parents, the self-rated health was not associated with living arrangements after adjustment for the perception of fami…

Eight-year experience of maternal death surveillance in Morocco
The MDSS is a complex process that requires taking numerous steps, including the commitment of multiple stakeholders with varying roles as well as information sharing across health system levels. Contextual factors that influence MDSS implementation at the sub-national level are to be considered. Horizontal and vertical communication about MDSS goals and feedback is crucial to strengthen stakeholders' commitment, hence improving quality and use o…

This article explores the methodological and personal challenges encountered while recruiting and interviewing men in a research study. It addresses the influence of 'who you know' and researcher's flexibility in negotiating one's way while conducting fieldwork in African cont…
Twenty-Four-Year Trends in Family and Regional Disparities in Fruit, Vegetable and Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption among Adolescents in Belgium
Dietary habits are influenced by various determinants that may evolve over time. This study aimed to examine, among adolescents in Belgium, trends in the dietary habits between 1990 and 2014 and to determine changes in family and regional disparities related to diet during this time period. In the 1990, 2002 and 2014 cross-sectional "Health Behaviour in School-aged Children" (HBSC) surveys, food consumption was estimated using a short Food Freque…
Feelings about the timing of first sexual intercourse and health-related quality of life among adolescents
Further research is needed to better understand such a complex relationship. The high proportion of adolescents having poor HRQoL and negative feeling about the timing of first SI shows how important it is to find out effective prevention for both domains
Environmental correlates of physical activity among children 10 to 13 years old in Wallonia (Belgium)
Our results argue for developing actions aimed at creating living environments more favorable to children's daily physical activity. More specifically, they help better understand the environment of Belgian children and thus contribute to better identify their needs
Perceived social support from teachers and classmates does not moderate the inverse association between body mass index and health-related quality of life in adolescents
Body mass index and psychological distress among Lebanese University students
Studies investigating the association between body mass index (BMI) and psychological distress (PD) have shown contradictory results. The present study examined the relationship between BMI and PD among Lebanese university students and tested its moderation by gender. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a proportionate cluster sampling of university students. Data concerning socio-demographic characteristics, body weight and height, tobac…
Dreaming and nightmares in REM sleep behavior disorder
Le complexe monumental suburbain et l’ensemble funéraire de Saint-Martin-au-Val (Chartres, Eure-et-Loir)
Les vestiges d’un possible complexe cultuel gallo-romain de plus de 6 ha, implanté dans un espace suburbain de la ville antique d’Autricum (Chartres), sont fouillés depuis 2006 en périphérie immédiate du centre urbain. L’analyse des structures maçonnées révèle un quadriportique avec pavillons d’angle enserrant une cour de plus de 4,5 ha. Le temple n’est pas connu mais sa présence est envisagée en semi-hors-œuvre du portique occidental. Les recher…
Working conditions predict incidence of long-term spells of sick leave due to depression
BACKGROUND: During the last few years, a high incidence of sick leave due to depression has been reported, resulting in important economic and social impacts. Only a limited number of studies investigating the influence of psychosocial working conditions on sick leave have been prospective and have utilised a valid methodology, while none have studied sick leave due to depression. In this study, the impact of adverse psychosocial working conditio…
