Engaging Youth in Global Health Research Through Photovoice and Reflexivity
Meaningful youth engagement is increasingly recognized as essential to achieving substantive and sustainable improvement in youth health globally. Although 90% of the world’s young people live in low- and middle-income countries, youth involved in shaping global health agendas continue to be predominantly from high-income countries. Calls for decolonial methodologies in global health have highlighted the need to redistribute power, yet most struc…
Using Human-Centered Design in Community-Based Public Health Research
(1) Background: This study used human-centered design (HCD) within a community-based research project to collaboratively develop local strategies aimed at enhancing COVID-19 vaccine confidence among children and youth. (2) Methods: HCD projects were carried out between December 2021 and August 2022 by four community-based design (CBD) teams in Montreal, Canada. The CBD teams were composed of parent and youth community members, public health and s…
Gender-based analysis of medical and aesthetic intervention needs and priorities of trans and non-binary people in Québec, Canada
This study explored gender-specific needs and priorities in gender-affirming care among trans and non-binary (TNB) people in Québec, Canada. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire distributed through organizations working with TNB people. This questionnaire included questions on four categories of gender-affirming interventions (hormonal interventions, facial interventions, upper/lower body interventions, and genital interven…
A qualitative study of experiences among young adults who increased their cannabis use during the Covid-19 pandemic

Barriers to family planning through structural health vulnerabilities
The burden of maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa is the highest in the world. As high fertility rates present an increased risk to women's health, programmes and services have been put in place to increase access to family planning. Several studies have identified sociocultural factors as limiting access to family planning, including male resistance and women's low decision-making power. However, these studies have often used a behavioural …

Factors related to the presence of suicidal ideations in adolescents after a technological disaster
Evaluation of a youth-led participatory action research to address adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights issues in Senegal
Participatory approaches are increasingly popular in public health, but remain little used to address adolescent health issues. However, adolescent participation in research has enormous potential for identifying solutions to health issues that concern them. In Senegal, a youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) project was implemented in four communities where teams of adolescents were trained to conduct a research project and identify sol…
Psychological, Physical and Behavioral Health of Adults, 3 Years After Exposure to a Train Derailment
In July 2013, a train derailment profoundly disrupted the tranquility of the population of Lac-Mégantic for months and even years. In 2016, we conducted a representative population-based survey among 387 people from Lac-Mégantic and 413 from other municipalities with the aim to document psychological and physical health of adults exposed to the disaster. This article examines differences between 3 groups of respondents: those who were highly, mod…
Understanding malnutrition management through a socioecological lens
In Uganda, almost half of children under 5 years old suffer from undernutrition. Undernutrition, a common form of malnutrition in children, encompasses stunting, wasting and underweight. The causes of child undernutrition are complex, suggesting that interventions to tackle malnutrition must be multifaceted. Furthermore, limited access to healthcare for vulnerable populations restricts the potential of hospital-based strategies. Community-based m…
L’Identité franco-américaine
The term “Franco-American” has traditionally been used to identify francophone Canadian immigrants who settled in the northeastern United States between 1840 and 1930. This group established close-knit communities and a network of religious, educational, and social institutions that would allow them to maintain their Catholic faith, their French language, and their traditional way of life over several generations. In the past sixty years, however…
