This scoping review is based on scientific articles …
Pathways for sexual and gender-based violence migrant survivors in France
Migrants often experience sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) as they transition to and reside in the host country.

This study investigated the Parcours unit located in north Paris and designed to specifically treat this demographic. A single-center retrospective cohort stud…
Invisible survivors
French Guiana faces significant sexual health challenges, notably a high prevalence of HIV. Migrant women are particularly vulnerable, and are impacted by socio-economic factors such as poverty, food insecurity, and precarious living conditions, which affect their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Previous research has primarily utilised quantitative data, neglecting qualitative insights into the factors shaping women's health and rights…
Research in an intercultural context
Context French Guiana is a French overseas department where very different linguistic, cultural and societal populations live together in a small area. Health issues and their specific epidemiological profiles call for research projects crossing several cultures. In this context, health mediators have a role to play in research. The aim of this study was to describe the perceptions, attitudes and opinions on research of mediators and researchers …
Anthropology and ethnobotany in health mediation
The analysis of this health care relationship is emblematic of the issue of cultural competence and pre-conceptualizes what intercultural mediation in health care could be, as close as possible to the caregiver and the individual
The French medical community united against cuts to State Medical Aid
State medical aid was created in France in 2000. • It guarantees free access to healthcare for undocumented migrants. • It has improved their access to health care and contributed to the preservation of public health. • Politically presented as a factor of France's attractiveness, it is under political threat. • There is no scientific data to support this association with migratory flows

With 281 million international migrants around the world, population movements are another major issue. Migrants are particularly exposed to precariousness during their migratory journey and after their settlement. These vulnerabilities may have deleterious effects…

Burden of infectious diseases among undocumented migrants in France

This work aimed to describe the reported frequency of infectious diseases and their associated factors among unselected samples of undocumented migrants in France. Methodology: The Premier Pas survey is a cross-sectional epidemiological survey of a random sample (two-stage sample design) conducted a…
The Evolution of HIV Patient Retention and Care in French Guiana
BACKGROUND: Although the simplification of antiretroviral (AVR) treatment regimens and follow-up has led to fewer constraints for patients with HIV, their follow-up remains of paramount importance to optimize AVR therapy, to detect and prevent HIV-related morbidity, and prevent secondary infections. The problem of follow-up interruption in French Guiana has been persistent and seemingly impervious to efforts to alleviate it. OBJECTIVE: The object…
Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio, Measles-Mumps-Rubella, and Hepatitis B Vaccination Coverage and Associated Factors among Homeless Children in the Paris Region in 2013
Background : The number of homeless families has increased considerably since the 1990s in France. We aimed to estimate the homeless children vaccination coverage (VC) for diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles-mumps-rubella and hepatitis B and identify factors associated with insufficient VC according to birthplace. Methods : A cross-sectional survey was conducted among homeless shelter families in the greater Paris area. A nurse conducted face-to-…
Social and structural factors and engagement in HIV care of sub-Saharan African migrants diagnosed with HIV in the Paris region
Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are often diagnosed at an advanced stage of HIV, and many of them have harsh living conditions. We aimed to evaluate the entry into care after HIV diagnosis and examine the related social determinants. The ANRS PARCOURS study is a life-event survey conducted in 2012-2013 in the Paris region among. Time between HIV diagnosis of SSA migrants living diagnosed HIV positive in France and HIV care and the determin…
