  • Use and health effects of herbal medicine Ocotea guianensis during pregnancy in French Guiana

    Open AccessGwladys Forsans, Glwadys Forsans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnopharmacology2025

  • Contrasted life trajectories

    Open AccessMathieu Nacher, Célia Basurko et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    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…

  • Desert dust episodes during pregnancy are associated with increased preterm delivery in French Guiana

    Open AccessMathieu Nacher, Malika Leneuve et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Preterm deliveries are a major multifactorial public health problem in French Guiana. Desert dust episodes have been associated with preterm delivery in Guadeloupe, a territory with similarities to French Guiana. We thus tried to replicate this finding in the context of French Guiana. A retrospective ecological cohort study combined daily PM10 concentration measurements during pregnancy and term at delivery extracted from French Guiana’s computer…

  • Patient reported experience measures on HIV viral load testing at public health facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Open AccessPeter M Karoli, Grace Shayo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    While viral load (VL) testing is critical to effective treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), little is known about patients’ experiences with, and barriers to VL-testing in the context of HIV infection. We assessed patient reported experience measures (PREMs) on VL-testing in public HIV clinics in Tanzania. In a cross-sectional convergent mixed method study, we collected information on VL test related PREMs, clinical and sociodemograph…

  • Complex Sex Differences in Life Expectancy in French Guiana

    Open AccessMathieu Nacher, Célia Basurko et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    In the complex context of French Guiana, different vulnerabilities and different risk factors between genders may lead to complex differences in health outcomes, mortality, and life expectancy. Our aim was, thus, to compare male and female mortality and life expectancy, to compare it between French Guiana and mainland France, and to look at temporal trends and the main specific causes of death in order to identify actionable singularities. Nation…
