Gezondheid en levenskwaliteit in Brussel
Vaststellingen De jonge Brusselaars verkeren over het algemeen in minder goede gezondheid Het aandeel van de bevolking dat zich in minder goede gezondheid voelt, ligt in het Brussels Gewest boven het Belgische gemiddelde. Dat aandeel bedraagt 29,7% in Wallonië, 27,6% in het Brussels Gewest en 22,2% in Vlaanderen. Indien we rekening houden met de leeftijdsstructuur is de toestand in Wallonië en het Brussels Gewest nog slechter dan de bruto cijfers…
Santé et qualité de vie à Bruxelles
Constats Une santé globalement moins bonne pour les jeunes Bruxellois En Région bruxelloise, la proportion de la population qui ne s’estime pas en bonne santé est plus élevée que la moyenne nationale. Cette proportion est de 29,7 % en Wallonie, 27,6 % en Région bruxelloise et 22,2 % en Flandre. Si on tient compte de la structure d’âge, la situation en Wallonie et à Bruxelles est encore plus défavorable que ne le révèlent les chiffres bruts. Malgr…

Medical Homes Versus Individual Practice in Primary Care
BACKGROUND: The medical home (MH) model has prompted increasing attention given its potential to improve quality of care while reducing health expenditures. OBJECTIVES: We compare overall and specific health care expenditures in Belgium, from the third-party payer perspective (compulsory social insurance), between patients treated at individual practices (IP) and at MHs. We compare the sociodemographic profile of MH and IP users. RESEARCH DESIGN:…

Renforcer les capabilités des enfants de la rue
Le Centre de bioéthique pour l’Afrique francophone (CIBAF) a initié en 2007 une recherche-action sur la base d’un renforcement des capabilités pour lutter contre les infections sexuellement transmissibles IST/VIH/SIDA pour les enfants de la rue (EDR) de la ville de Kinshasa (RDC). Nous avons adopté ce modèle alternatif de prévention des IST/VIH/SIDA permettant de lutter contre les IST chez les enfants de la rue par la co-responsabilisation des ac…
