A multicentric cross-sectional survey to assess cardiovascular risk factors among persons working in informal gold mines in French-Guiana
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. French Guiana has a high prevalence of these diseases, responsible for high morbidity. The persons involved in informal gold mining sites in French Guiana are subject to poor health determinants. Various studies have shown their precariousness and their susceptibility to infectious diseases. However, no studies have ever assessed their cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this w…
Prevalence of lead poisoning among artisanal gold miners in French Guiana in 2022
This study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under the identifier NCT05540470 (registered on September 12, 2022)
Training-of-trainers program for community health workers involved in an innovative and community-based intervention against malaria among goldminers in the Guiana shield
Introduction An innovative and community-based intervention is implemented in the Guiana Shield to eliminate malaria among people involved in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. The intervention consists of the distribution of malaria self-management kits to goldminers and the presumptive treatment for individuals at risk of carrying Plasmodium vivax hypnozoites. The intervention is possible owing to community health workers (CHWs) who are pre…
Contrasted life trajectories
In French Guiana, life expectancy is between 2 and 3 years below that of France, reflecting differences in mortality rates that are largely sensitive to primary healthcare and thus preventable. However, because poverty affects half of the population in French Guiana, global measurements of life expectancy presumably conflate at least two distinct situations: persons who have similar life expectancies as in mainland France and persons living in pr…
Community engagement in mobile and hard-to-reach populations
Several countries of the Guiana Shield are aiming at the control and elimination of malaria in areas where Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) activities predominate, raising questions about how to strengthen community engagement to improve the effectiveness of health programs. The Curema project focuses its intervention on the mobile and hard-to-reach ASGM population, complementing the efforts of national programs in the Guiana Shield. …
Social determinants of health among people working on informal gold mines in French Guiana
INTRODUCTION: Social determinants of health, such as living and working conditions, economical and environmental context and access to care, combine to impact the health of individuals and communities. In French Guiana (FG), the persons working in informal artisanal and small-scale gold mining in the rainforest are a particularly vulnerable population which lives in precarious conditions and far from the health system. Previous studies have demon…
Determination of different social groups’ level of knowledge about malaria in a multicultural Amazonian cross-border context
This study is the first to describe the poor level of knowledge about malaria in populations living in the malaria endemic border area along the Oyapock river in French Guiana. Results will allow to reinforce, to diversify and to culturally adapt prevention messages and health promotion to increase their effectiveness with a view to quickly reaching the goal of malaria elimination through empowerment
Combatting malaria disease among gold miners
Malaria is endemic in French Guiana, in particular, where illegal gold mining activities take place. Gold miners travel from Brazil to remote camps in the Guiana forest to carry out mining activities, exposing themselves to the presumed contamination area. This article presents the results of a qualitative case study of the Malakit project, an intervention where health facilitators offer appropriate training and distribution of self-diagnosis and…
Implementation of a novel malaria management strategy based on self-testing and self-treatment in remote areas in the Amazon (Malakit)
ClinicalTrials.gov. NCT03695770 . 10/02/2018 "Retrospectively registered
The Epidemiology of Covid 19 in the Amazon and the Guianas
Background: The COVID 19 epidemic submerged many health systems in the Amazon. The objective of the present study was to focus on the epidemic curves of the COVID 19 epidemic in different centers, and to look at testing and mortality data. Methods: Publicly available datasets were used. The log 10 of the daily cumulated number of cases starting from the day the territory reached 100 cumulated cases was plotted to compare the magnitude, shape and …
When local phytotherapies meet biomedicine. Cross-sectional study of knowledge and intercultural practices against malaria in Eastern French Guiana
The singular epidemiology of HPV infection among French Guianese women with normal cytology
HPV prevalence in cytologically normal women was very high. The most prevalent genotypes were very different from what is usually described in the world, and notably in South America
