No time to grieve
This article presents an overview of past and current grief rituals and practices and existing grassroots and institutional initiatives seeking to address the complex, prolonged, and traumatic grief experienced by many Inuit living in Quebec. While conducting a study seeking to identify the strengths, resources, and challenges for Nunavik's Inuit communities related to end-of-life care, results emerged concerning how family caregivers' grief rela…
Perceptions of Inuit Women and Non-Inuit Healthcare Providers on the Implementation of Human Papillomavirus Self-Sampling as an Alternative Cervical Cancer Screening Method in Nunavik, Northern Quebec
Human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling offers a cervical cancer (CC) screening alternative that can address certain barriers to the Papanicolaou test. As part of a larger community-based participatory project in Nunavik, Northern Québec, we travelled to two communities to gather perspectives from Inuit women and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on CC screening services and the possible implementation of HPV self-sampling. We held 10 group discus…
The Mediating Role of Depressive Symptoms in the Association Between Food Insecurity and HIV Related Health Outcomes Among HIV–HCV Co-Infected People
Association between depressive symptoms, CD4 count and HIV viral suppression among HIV-HCV co-infected people
Depressive symptoms are associated with poor HIV viral control and immune recovery among people living with HIV. However, no prior studies assessed this association exclusively among people co-infected with HIV-hepatitis C virus (HCV). While people with HIV only and those with HIV-HCV co-infection share many characteristics, co-infected people may become more susceptible to the effects of depressive symptoms on health outcomes. We assessed this a…
Impact of Food Insecurity on Depressive Symptoms Among HIV–HCV Co-infected People
Food insecurity and low CD4 count among HIV-infected people
Burden of HIV and tuberculosis co-infection in Montreal, Quebec
HPV Dectection by Self-Sampling in Nunavik, Quebec
There is a higher incidence of cervical cancer and prevalence of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among the Inuit in Canada than the general population. Self-sampling of cervicovaginal cells for HPV testing has the potential to increase cervical cancer screening coverage in this population, but only if it is acceptable to women. We sought to determine acceptance of and preference for self-collection of cervicovaginal samples for HPV t…
Factors associated with cervical cancer screening uptake among Inuit women in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada
Our results suggest that older women and women who are not accessing reproductive care have a lower compliance with time-appropriate cervical cancer screening and future research should address potential strategies to increase screening coverage among this group
Factors Associated With Human Papillomavirus Infection Among Women in the Northwest Territories
Factors associated with initiation and completion of the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine series in an ontario cohort of grade 8 girls
The current low level of HPV vaccine acceptance in Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox, and Addington will likely have important implications in terms of the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of its publicly funded program. We identified important factors associated with series initiation and completion that should be considered in efforts to improve HPV vaccine use in this population
Urban Aboriginal Understandings and Experiences of Tuberculosis in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a serious health issue for some Aboriginal populations in Canada. In this article we build on two previous studies partnered with an Aboriginal community organization to examine TB in Montreal, Quebec. The current study draws on qualitative interviews with Aboriginal participants who had either themselves contracted TB or knew someone who had the disease. Thematic analysis revealed a high level of experiential kn…
Tracking tuberculosis in the past
The impact of smoking on adherence to treatment for latent tuberculosis infection
Males and smokers need to have extra supervision to ensure compliance with LTBI treatment
Dwellings, crowding, and tuberculosis in Montreal
Facteurs associés à la non-observance du traitement de la tuberculose active, Montréal 1992–1995
