Institutional Power and Sexual Violence Against Nuns in the Catholic Church
Sexual violence by Catholic clergy against adults remains largely overlooked in public debate and Church communications. Drawing on the Independent Commission on Sexual Abuse in the Church (CIASE) in France, this article analyzes 22 in-depth interviews with Catholic nuns and lay women who reported sexual violence or other abuses of power by male clerics. Our findings show how community rules of enclosure, poverty, and obedience, combined with a g…
An intersectional approach to understanding systolic blood pressure distribution in a large French study
Inequities in systolic blood pressure (SBP), a widely used biomarker, have been shown to be patterned by age, sex, and socioeconomic position, but few studies have investigated how they combine to result in differential SBP risk. This study brings new insights by simultaneously considering sex, age, education, as well as race/ethnicity -a dimension seldom investigated in French health studies- in an intersectional perspective. Using data from the…
Experiences of discrimination and their impact on healthcare utilization
Objective: This article examines the relationship between experiences of discrimination and COVID-19 vaccine non-uptake, with particular attention to the domains in which discrimination occurs (healthcare, employment, housing, and public services) and to the frequency of such experiences. Methods: The analysis draws on the most recent wave of the Epidemiology and Living Conditions (EpiCov) cohort survey, conducted in October 2022, which included …
Social inequalities in Sars-CoV-2 infection in high income countries
Objective COVID-19 has highlighted significant social disparities in health across the world. The main purpose of this mini review is to synthesize important findings about social inequalities in infection risk and highlight the gaps in current research from an intersectional perspective. Method This mini literature review builds on peer-reviewed quantitative studies conducted in high-income countries, with a particular focus on France. It outlin…
Socio-economic inequalities in access to Covid-19 tests in France in 2020
Background Testing for COVID-19 has been strongly recommended for individuals experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms or those with a close relative who tested positive. In France, tests were free of charge until mid-October 2021 and became widely available after June 2020. Our main objective was to investigate whether access to COVID-19 testing in France was associated with socio-economic conditions, considering gender and ethno-racial status. Metho…

Social inequalities in medical appointment cancellations and reschedulings at the onset of the Covid-19 epidemic in France
Inconsistent results are found regarding social inequalities related to healthcare appointment cancellations during the COVID-19 crisis. Whether rescheduling was associated with social status is unknown. By studying both cancellations and rescheduling, we comprehensively describe which social groups were affected by care disruption. First follow-up of a random population-based cohort was used, including 95 118 people aged 18 or older at baseline …
Changes in household use of disinfectant and cleaning products during the first lockdown period in France
The frequency and duration of weekly use of HDCPs has significantly increased since the pandemic. As the use of HDCPs is associated with health issues, further studies are now needed to evaluate the potential health impacts of these changes
Violences sexuelles durant l’enfance et l’adolescence
Les violences sexuelles durant l’enfance et l’adolescence représentent un phénomène massif en France, notamment pour les femmes, qui touche tous les milieux sociaux. Les hommes subissent moins de violences et en parlent moins. Les femmes subissent majoritairement des abus de la part de membres ou d’amis de la famille. Les agresseurs sont très majoritairement des hommes. Une femme sur deux et plus d’un homme sur trois ont déjà parlé de ces violenc…
Do Income and Employment Uncertainty Affect Couple Stability? Evidence for France During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Economic uncertainty and family dynamics are strictly connected. The increasing uncertainty generated by the Covid-19 pandemic is thus likely to affect couple relationships and stability, with potential opposite effects. Using data from the nationally representative EPICOV survey, that followed individuals throughout the first year of pandemic in France, we examined separation rates and how these were associated with different measures of employm…
Sex Surveys in Europe
Sexual expression is fundamental to human existence and an important topic of enquiry in its own right. Understanding sexual behavior is also essential to establish effective sexual health prevention activities (e.g., education), services and policies, and to assess the progress of policies and action plans. Questions on sexual health are rarely included in general health surveys, and therefore dedicated population studies are required. Many coun…

Higher risk, higher protection
BACKGROUND: Immigrants and ethnic/racialized minorities have been identified as being at higher risk of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection, but few studies report on their exposures and prevention behaviours. This study aims to examine the social distribution of COVID-19 exposure (overcrowding, working outside the home, use of public transport to go to work) and prevention behaviours (use of face masks, washing hands, respect for physica…
Social Isolation Among Older Adults in the Time of Covid-19
We aimed to analyze inequalities in social isolation among older adults in a time of COVID-19 social restrictions, using a gender perspective. A random population-based survey, including 21,543 older adults (65+) was conducted during and post COVID-19 lockdown in France. Our main outcome was a three-dimension indicator of social isolation based on living conditions, i.e., living alone (i) and not having gone out in the past week (ii), completed b…
When Lack of Trust in the Government and in Scientists Reinforces Social Inequalities in Vaccination Against Covid-19
Objective: To assess whether lack of trust in the government and scientists reinforces social and racial inequalities in vaccination practices. Design: A follow-up of the EpiCov random population-based cohort survey. Setting: In July 2021, in France. Participants: Eighty-thousand nine hundred and seventy-one participants aged 18 years and more. Main Outcome Measures: Adjusted odds ratios of COVID-19 vaccination status (received at least one dose/…
Child Sexual Abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in France
This study aims to estimate and compare Roman Catholic Church-related child sexual abuse (CSA) prevalence and characteristics to CSA in other social spheres in France since 1950. Using a cross-sectional representative web-based survey of 28,026 adults in 2021, the weighted prevalence of CSA was estimated according to six social spheres of perpetration: family, Church, school, sports club, artistic activities, and summer camps. Altogether, 14.60%,…
Mental health consequences of military sexual trauma
MST is associated with mental health distress among service members in the French military, especially for women. The heightened risk of MST coupled with psychological sequelae call for preventive programs to reduce MST and for screening programs to provide adequate psychological support
Association between positive psychological traits and changes in dietary behaviour related to first Covid-19 lockdown
Cognitive testing of a survey instrument to assess sexual practices, behaviours, and health outcomes
BACKGROUND: Population level data on sexual practices, behaviours and health-related outcomes can ensure that responsive, relevant health services are available for all people of all ages. However, while billions of dollars have been invested in attempting to improve sexual and reproductive health (including HIV) outcomes, far less is understood about associated sexual practices and behaviours. Therefore, the World Health Organization embarked on…
Antibody status and cumulative incidence of Sars-CoV-2 infection among adults in three regions of France following the first lockdown and associated risk factors
BACKGROUND: We aimed to estimate the seropositivity to anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in May-June 2020 after the first lockdown period in adults living in three regions in France and to identify the associated risk factors. METHODS: Between 4 May 2020 and 23 June 2020, 16 000 participants in a survey on COVID-19 from an existing consortium of three general adult population cohorts living in the Ile-de-France (IDF) or Grand Est (GE) (two regions with …
When lockdown policies amplify social inequalities in Covid-19 infections
Lockdown was associated with social inequalities in the decline in COVID-19 infections, calling for the adoption of preventive policies to account for living and working conditions. Such adoptions are critical to reduce social inequalities related to COVID-19, as working-class individuals also have the highest COVID-19 related mortality, due to higher prevalence of comorbidities
Union break-up after HIV diagnosis among sub-Saharan African migrants in France
Sub-Saharan African migrants living in France are particularly affected by HIV. Due to the fear of sexual transmission of the virus, those in a relationship could experience a union break-up after an HIV diagnosis. Based on data from the time-event ANRS-Parcours survey that was conducted among a representative sample of sub-Saharan migrants living with HIV (France, 2012-2013), we studied union break-ups after HIV diagnosis among people who were i…
Sexual health in the French military
These results highlight gendered pattern of sexual health in the French military with women suffering greater sexual risks than men. Military health services should include women's health services to address the sexual and reproductive health gender gap
L'interruption volontaire de grossesse et la recomposition de la norme procréative
En s'appuyant sur une enquête qualitative et une enquête quantitative auprès de femmes confrontées à une grossesse non prévue, qu'elles décident ou non de recourir à l'IVG, l'article s'attache à étudier la norme procréative, à savoir les « bonnes conditions » (âge, type de relation, situation professionnelle) socialement définies, pour avoir un enfant, qui prévaut aujourd'hui dans la société française. La minimisation des enjeux professionnels da…

La contraception, levier réel ou symbolique de la domination masculine
Contraception: actual or symbolic lever of maie domination The development and diffusion of medical contraception can be thought to have promoted gender equity in areas of social life such as sexuality, family and work over the last three decades, period during which the feminist agenda has slowly been institutionalized in policies and laws. This article shows, however, that the advent of medical contraception was unable to subvert the gender hie…

Les inégalités sociales d'accès à la contraception en France
Depuis la légalisation de la contraception en 1967, le recours à la contraception médicalisée, et notamment aux pilules de troisième génération non remboursées, ne cesse d'augmenter. Cette modification du paysage contraceptif a pu générer de nouvelles formes d'inégalités. L'article montre que les inégalités sociales en matière de contraception en France se sont déplacées de décennie en décennie. Au début des années 1980, l'accès à la pilule et au…

Tensions normatives et rapport des femmes à la contraception dans 4 pays africains
Les analyses classiques sur les obstacles au recours à la contraception en Afrique se centrent sur la valeur sociale attribuée à une fécondité élevée, la peur des effets secondaires et l'accès à l'offre. Cet article caractérise l'ensemble des situations qui peuvent être à l'origine d'une grossesse non prévue et identifie les logiques sociales qui en favorisent la survenue. Deux cents entretiens semi-directifs ont été menés dans les capitales du B…
Modeling the Process Leading to Abortion
In this study, we model women's recourse to induced abortion as resulting from a process that starts with sexual intercourse and contraceptive use (or nonuse), continues with the occurrence of an unintended pregnancy, and ends with the woman's decision to terminate the pregnancy and her access to abortion services. Our model includes two often‐neglected proximate determinants of abortion: sexual practices and access to abortion services. We relat…

Improving Survey Participation
The general decrease in telephone survey response rates leads to potential selection and estimation biases. As nonrespondents can be broken down into noncontacts and refusals, different strategies can be deployed—increasing the number of call attempts before abandoning a number, and calling back refusals/abandonments to persuade them to participate. Using a two-stage random-digit-dialing sample of 8,645 individuals aged 15–49 for a survey on sexu…
De l'interdiction au contrôle
L'avortement est un droit acquis depuis 1975 en France et très largement accepté par l'opinion publique, mais la légitimité d'y recourir reste souvent problématique. Pour éclairer le caractère paradoxal du statut de l'avortement, cet article se propose d'analyser le sens social que revêt aujourd'hui cette pratique en mettant en perspective les conditions socio-historiques de son institutionnalisation et les normes sociales en matière de régulatio…

The Effect of Access to Emergency Contraceptive Pills on Women's Use of Highly Effective Contraceptives
We examined changes in contraceptive behaviors after emergency contraception (EC) pill use. A nationally representative cohort of 2863 French women was studied to identify 272 instances of EC pill use. In 71% of the cases, we found no changes in contraceptive practices from the time of EC pill use to 6 months later: 41% of women continued use of highly effective methods and 30% continued less effective methods. Only 8.4% switched from highly effe…

Attitudes des professionnels de santé à l'égard de la contraception d'urgence au Ghana et au Burkina Faso
Les études sur les attitudes et les pratiques des professionnels de santé en Afrique subsaharienne à l'égard de la contraception d'urgence sont rares. De telles données peuvent aider à guider l'élaboration des programmes contraceptifs dans ces pays. Trente et un entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés auprès d'un échantillon ad hoc de professionnels de la santé reproductive au Ghana et au Burkina Faso, lors de l'enquête Emergency Contraception…
Preventive Care's Forgotten Women
Although studies show that women who have sex with women (WSW) have poorer sexual health and more limited access to health care for gynecological problems than other women, the social processes giving rise to such health differences have not, so far, been explored. These processes may be formed in response to a dominant social norm, which assigns women to a heterosexual and monogamous sexuality. Based on data from a national random survey of sexu…

The Use of a Nonprobability Internet Panel to Monitor Sexual and Reproductive Health in the General Population
Background: Reliability of nonprobability online volunteer panels for epidemiological purposes has rarely been studied. Objectives: To assess the quality of a questionnaire on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) administered in a nonprobability Web panel and in a random telephone survey ( n = 8,992; n = 8,437, age 16-49 years). Especially, we were interested in the possible difference in the association of sociodemographic variables and some out…
Determinants of condom use among French heterosexuals with multiple partners
In September 1988, a sample of French individuals between 18 and 49 years of age, who reported more than one sexual partner in the past six months and who considered themselves heterosexuals (n = 1088), were interviewed at home about risk perception of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission, sexual behavior, and condom use. Systematic or occasional use of condoms during the previous 12 months was reported by 46.9 percent of respondents. …

Is genital mycosis associated with HIV risk behaviors among heterosexuals? ACSF Investigators. Analyse des comportements sexuels en France
OBJECTIVES. This study examined in both sexes whether genital mycosis is as strongly associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sexual risk behavior as are other sexually transmitted diseases. METHODS. Heterosexuals in the French National Survey of Sexual Behavior who reported a history of either mycosis or another sexually transmitted disease in the previous 5 years were compared with heterosexuals who reported no such disease. Odds rati…
Social factors and the process of risk construction in HIV sexual transmission
This paper reviews different approaches used to analyse the process of risk construction as concerns the sexual transmission of HIV. Individualistic approaches focus on understanding how individual risk representation is constructed. Constructivist approaches consider that the process of risk construction occurs in relation with other people and is affected by social context. The specificities of these procedures are considered from theoretical a…
