Geomorphological patterns and sedimentary facies in a modern mixed carbonate-siliciclastic lagoon (New Caledonia)
The New Caledonian lagoon is of particular interest for studying the controls on mixed carbonate–siliciclastic sedimentation. The large southwestern lagoon is bordered by a massive barrier reef only interrupted by few passes, while the narrower and shallower eastern lagoon is characterized by a more discontinuous barrier reef that is partially submerged to the South. Using bathymetric, backscatter imagery and seabed sampling, this study presents …
Maladi Nanm, Maladi Zonbi, & Maladi Lalin: A Qualitative Study Of Cultural Concepts Of Distress In Northern Haiti
Cultural Concepts of Distress (CCDs) are culturally constructed diagnostic categories that exist within a specific society or culture. While several studies have assessed CCDs around the world, few studies have examined them in Haiti. This qualitative study examines manifestations of anxiety and depression via 'sent spirits' in the form of maladi nanm ('Soul disorder') and maladi zonbi ('Zombie disorder'), and bipolar disorder in the form of mala…
Determinants of mental illness and care seeking behaviours in Northern Haiti: An assessment of demographic, social, and religio-cultural factors among patients at the first mental health clinic in the…
Populations in countries such as Haiti demonstrate a high level of need for mental health care despite a lack of services and trained professionals. In addition to the dearth of biomedical services, local belief systems and explanatory models contribute to a majority of the population relying on traditional medicine as their first option for care. Using a mixed-methods approach, we aim to characterise mental illness at the first mental health cli…
Examining the Etiology and Treatment of Mental Illness Among Vodou Priests in Northern Haiti
Construct validation of measures of depression, anxiety, and functionality in Northern Haiti
Mental illness represents an increasing burden of disease and disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). With high levels of poverty, violence, and natural disasters, the population of Haiti is confronted with significant mental health challenges. In spite of this, few validated and culturally adapted tools exist to measure mental distress in Haitian Creole (Kreyòl). This study applied exploratory factor analysis to examine the facto…
Morpho-sedimentological and dynamic patterns in a ria type estuary: The Belon estuary (South Brittany, France)
Ria-type estuaries correspond to complex systems at the transition between the continental and the marine domains, within a context of rocky coastlines. The Belon Estuary, in South Brittanny (France), is described as a typical ria-type estuary characterised by complex morpho-sedimentological facies, strongly influenced by the South Brittany’s geological framework. The characterisation of the morpho-sedimentological patterns is sourced from recent…
A Haitian-led mental health treatment center in Northern Haiti: The first step in expanding mental health services throughout the region
Low-income countries suffer from a large gap between the burden of mental illness and access to treatment. In the Americas, no country exemplifies this disparity as much as Haiti, where services outside the capital remain virtually nonexistent. Started in 2016, the Mental Health Center at Morne Pelé (SSMMP in Krèyol) was established as the first mental health treatment facility in all of northern Haiti. With more than 3,000 patients treated since…
