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 and risk factors of food insecurity during pregnancy
This study highlights a frequently overlooked situation in French Guiana that is likely to affect the health of children at the very beginning of their lives. Peer-based programs or government financial assistance programs could help strengthen the ability of the poorest households with pregnant women to cope with food insecurity
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…
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…
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)
