Portrait de la santé mentale des femmes qui ont recours aux organismes communautaires d’une région québécoise

Les problèmes de santé mentale modérés ou courants comme la dépression et l’anxiété touchent presque 2 fois plus de femmes que d’hommes. Parmi les facteurs de risque chez les femmes, on dénonce la pauvreté, les violences et sévices sexuels, la difficulté à accéder à un logement convenable et abordable, et les conditions de …
Caesarean section or vaginal delivery for low-risk pregnancy? Helping women make an informed choice in low- and middle-income countries
Women’s fear and uncertainty about vaginal delivery and lack of empowerment in decision-making generate decision conflict and is one of the main determinants of high caesarean section rates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aims to develop a decision analysis tool (DAT) to help pregnant women make an informed choice about the planned mode of delivery and to evaluate its acceptability in Vietnam, Thailand, Argentina, and Burk…

Is consent for research genuinely informed? Using decision aid tools to obtain informed consent in the global south
Gaining informed consent among marginalized groups that include decisionally incapacitated individuals and those outside of the researcher's own geo-social and ethnic background still challenges many researchers. We suggest that there is a need for consideration of a different approach to research ethics in international settings. Based on extensive field work in West Africa on medical knowledge transfers and patient–healer relationships, this pa…
