Pushing for Equity, Pulling at Heartstrings
Despite widely accepted clinical care guidelines, uninsured pregnant migrants in Canada face health inequalities and there are ethical implications of denying them publicly-funded care. Uninsured migrants face multiple barriers (financial, systemic, and cultural) to their perinatal care access, which can negatively impact their health and psychosocial outcomes, as well as those of their families. Drawing on interviews with 10 uninsured migrant wo…
How to formulate high-quality lessons learned
appears in the titles of thousands of scientific articles, most do not describe how these lessons were produced or the level of rigor involved in their development. As part of a project aimed at deriving lessons from hospitals' resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in five countries (the HoSPiCOVID project), we sought to systematised the process of producing these lessons. To do so, we conducted a rapid review to identify the best ways of devel…

Did the design and planning of testing and contact tracing interventions for Covid-19 consider social inequalities in health? A multiple case study from Brazil, Canada, France & Mali
La position sociale
Selon les plus récentes estimations, la Loi sur l’assurance maladie laisse 50 000 à 70 000 migrants sans assurance médicale au Québec. L’accès aux soins de santé dans la province canadienne est, entre autres, lié au statut migratoire. Avant la pandémie, diverses barrières à l’accès aux soins (administratives, économiques, linguistiques, culturelles, etc.) avaient été identifiées. En tant que déterminant social de la santé, l’accès discriminatoire…
Considering social inequalities in health in large-scale testing for Covid-19 in Montréal
These findings contribute to the reflections on the lessons learned from COVID-19, highlighting that public health programs must tackle structural barriers to accessing healthcare services during health crises. This will be necessary to ensure that pandemic preparedness and response, including large-scale testing, do not further increase social inequalities in health
Les Femmes anishinaabeg (Canada), la santé et l’eau
L’accès à une eau potable de qualité est un droit fondamental. Malgré la richesse du Canada en eau douce, plusieurs des communautés autochtones, dont les Anishinaabeg, font régulièrement face à une iniquité d’accès à une eau potable de qualité, une situation qui a des conséquences sanitaires, spirituelles et culturelles. Ces injustices découlent directement de la colonisation et des rapports inégaux entre le gouvernement canadien et les Premières…
Unmet healthcare needs among migrants without medical insurance in Montreal, Canada
While access to healthcare for permanent residents in Canada is well known, this is not the case for migrants without healthcare coverage. This is the first large-scale study that examines the unmet healthcare needs of migrants without healthcare coverage in Montreal. 806 participants were recruited: 436 in the community and 370 at the NGO clinic. Proportions of individuals reporting unmet healthcare needs were similar (68.4% vs. 69.8%) . The mai…
What links can be made from narratives of migration and self-perceived health? A qualitative study with Haitian migrants settling in Quebec after the 2010 Haiti earthquake
In January 2010, Haiti was hit by a terrible earthquake that pushed thousands of people to migrate. Many of them chose to settle in Quebec, Canada. Years after the earthquake, many Haitians continue to migrate to the Quebec province. Several studies however have shown that this population's socioeconomic status is lower than the provincial average. Given the potential multiple stressors that affect Haitian migrants in Quebec, there are concerns a…
Is there a pathological way of ageing
This think piece discusses 'Alzheimer's disease' from a critical anthropological perspective. I aim to challenge the taken-for-granted biomedical framing in four steps. First, a brief genealogical account shows that Alzheimer's disease as a biomedical category has only recently become a public and global health preoccupation. Second, the concept of medicalization is mobilized to illustrate the construction of and the uncertainty around this new m…
Immigrant grandmothers’ and mothers-in-law’s cancer literacy within their family context
Data from focus groups held in Montréal (Canada) with 13 women born in Cameroon, Colombia, and Democratic Republic of Congo were used to explore cancer knowledge among immigrant grandmothers and mothers-in-law and their influence over family cancer-preventative practices. Thematic analysis identified the following leading themes: cancer literacy and influence over family cancer preventative and early detection practices, cancer literacy in relati…
Mobiliser des représentations ethnoculturelles pour expliquer les disparités d’accès aux soins de santé au Burkina Faso
Expériences migratoires de nouveaux-arrivants haïtiens établis au Québec depuis la catastrophe ayant frappé Haïti le 12 janvier 2010
Après le séisme survenu en Haïti le 12 janvier 2010, un programme spécial de parrainage fut mis en place par le Canada afin de permettre à quelques milliers de citoyens haïtiens de rejoindre leur famille résidant dans la province du Québec, l’un des principaux lieux d’immigration pour les Haïtiens depuis les années 1960. Cet article s’appuie sur l’analyse thématique d’une série d’entrevues semi-dirigées réalisées en 2012 avec des nouveaux-arrivan…
The Racialization of U.S. Public Health
The use of the category “race/ethnicity” intensified in the field of U.S. Public Health following the Clinton administration’s announcement of a budget increase for research focusing on ethnic and racial disparities in health. This article discusses the ways in which racialized difference is produced and represented as an object of knowledge and regulated by discursive practices in public health documents from U.S. federal government offices and …
Active ageing’
The aim of this study was to document the perceptions of elders in six Caribbean countries about ‘active ageing’ and on the basis of their reports to make recommendations to improve their situation. Data were collected principally through 31 focus group discussions conducted in both urban and rural areas. Comparative analysis was carried out of the qualitative information, focusing on three components of ‘active ageing’: health and social service…
