Yon Lòt Ayiti Posib”
Research, mainly within sociology, demonstrated that disasters can be stages for extraordinary human growth and solidarity. However, research documenting and specifically theorizing local communities as first responders has had limited impact within official disaster response policy and practice, and it is still relatively uncharted within anthropology. Policymakers and journalists alike tend to dismiss local initiatives. Ethnographic research is…
Oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in rural Haiti
This paper reports the changed findings over a 40-year period on oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of a very remote and rural population living the Jeremie region of Haiti. The far-sighted investigators of that original 1970 survey stated in their published 1972 paper that our "...findings are descriptive, but have to be accepted tentatively rather than definitively because time was short, transportation was difficult, and the…
Institutionalizing community-focused maternal, newborn, and child health strategies to strengthen health systems
BACKGROUND: Stronger health systems, with an emphasis on community-based primary health care, are required to help accelerate the pace of ending preventable maternal and child deaths as well as contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The success of the SDGs will require unprecedented coordination across sectors, including partnerships between public, private, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). To date, l…
Effect of early childhood protein‐energy malnutrition on permanent dentition dental caries
ECPEM status is inversely associated with DMFT in Haitian participants. Further follow-up of these same participants will be recommended to evaluate the potential caries catch-up effect
Fathers' Beliefs About Parenting and Fathers' Clubs to Promote Child Health in Rural Haiti
Health care providers are challenged to use culturally appropriate, low-technology approaches to improve child health in resource-poor countries. Village fathers' clubs is one approach used in rural Haiti since 1994. Fathers meet regularly for health education and community-building activities. Our aim was to investigate parenting practices and beliefs among Haitian fathers of young children and to explore their views on fathers' clubs. We conduc…
The Impact of Fathers’ Clubs on Child Health in Rural Haiti
In recognition of the important role that fathers play in the lives of young children in Haiti, a public health organization instituted fathers’ clubs in 1994 as a strategy to improve the health outcomes of children. Fathers’ clubs focus on child and family health education. To evaluate the effectiveness of fathers’ clubs, we examined the health of children born in Haitian villages with and without active fathers’ clubs and compared results for t…
Maternal and congenital syphilis in rural Haiti
Maternal syphilis is prevalent in rural Haiti. This prevalence combined with late entry into prenatal care contributes to adverse pregnancy outcomes and a high estimated rate of congenital syphilis. More research is needed on congenital syphilis and prenatal-careseeking practices of rural Haitian women in order to understand the impact of maternal syphilis in the region and improve pregnancy outcomes
Maternal Mortality and the Consequences on Infant and Child Survival in Rural Haiti
