Can BCG be useful to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic? A Canadian perspective
Hospitalizations for lower respiratory tract infections in children in relation to the sequential use of three pneumococcal vaccines in Quebec
Promoting vaccination in the province of Québec: The PromoVaQ randomized controlled trial protocol
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02666872 (Retrospectively registered as January 28, 2016)
Pattern and correlates of public support for public health interventions to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages
Objective: To examine the pattern and correlates of public support for twelve public health interventions aimed at reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption. Design: Cross-sectional population-based survey. Respondents were recruited using a random digit dialling procedure (landline telephone) and a random selection of telephone numbers (mobile telephone). Sampling quotas were applied for age, and the sample was stratified according to …
Conditions influencing the adoption of a soda tax for public health: Analysis of the French case (2005–2012)
Although over 40 jurisdictions have adopted a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) for public health worldwide, it is still debated in many places. Policy processes can influence the prospect of an SSB tax, its design and its public health benefits. To get an insight into such processes, we undertook a case study of the soda tax enacted in France on the 1st of January 2012. Newspaper articles (2003–2013) and institutional documents (2007–2012)…
Individual and School Correlates of Adolescent Leisure Time Physical Activity in Quebec, Canada
Background : Leisure time physical activity (LTPA) correlates have been mostly studied in relation to adolescents' home neighbourhoods, but not so much in relation to the environment of their schools' neighbourhoods. We sought to investigate how objective environmental measures of the schools' vicinity are related to adolescents' self-reported LTPA. Methods : Individual data from the Quebec High School Students Health Survey (QHSSHS) were matched…
A postpartum vaccination promotion intervention using motivational interviewing techniques improves short-term vaccine coverage: PromoVac study
An educational strategy using MI techniques delivered at the maternity ward may be effective in increasing VC of infants at ages 3, 5, and 7 months. MI could be an effective tool to overcome vaccine hesitancy
Limited impact of pneumococcal vaccines on invasive pneumococcal disease in Nunavik (Quebec)
Uptake of pneumococcal vaccines in the Nordic region of Nunavik, province of Quebec, Canada
Uptake of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine: Methodological Issues in Measurement and Impact of Publicly Funded Programs
Effectiveness and Cost Comparison of Two Strategies for Hepatitis B Vaccination of Schoolchildren
Pregnancy Planning: A Determinant of Folic Acid Supplements Use for the Primary Prevention of Neural Tube Defects
Correlates of Care Quality in Long-Term Care Facilities: A Multilevel Analysis
Hierarchical modeling was employed to explore correlates of the quality of care provided in long-term care facilities. For this purpose, a multilevel analysis offers two advantages over traditional analytical approaches. First, it accounts for the correlated nature of data recorded on multiple residents from the same facility. Second, it enables the investigators to study the influence of both resident and facility characteristics on care quality…
Prevalence of Neural Tube Defects in the Province of Quebec, 1992
In the heart of darkness: Sleeping sickness in Zaire
Frequency of births with potentially avoidable serious chromosomal anomalies in EEC countries, 1979-1982
Child bearing at an early age and prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis in pregnant women of advanced age, combined with selective abortion, make it possible to avoid the birth of many children with serious chromosomal anomalies. To see how many of such births were still avoidable in Europe, data from 16 regional EUROCAT registers of congenital anomalies in nine EEC countries were analysed. In the period 1979-1982 about 30% of children with unbalanced a…
