Methods:
This is a pooled analysis of t...
Background:
In resource-limited contexts, available data indicate that people with disability are disproportionally affected by the HIV epidemic. While disability resulting from chronic HIV infection has received some attention, few epidemiologic studies have examined the vulnerability of people with disability to HIV acquisition. The aims of the...
Abstract
The transition to adulthood is a critical stage in human development because it shapes the future lives of many young people. Little is known about how disability affects this transition. Most of the available evidence comes from high-resource settings, where the situation differs greatly from that of resource-limited countries. Using the...
La lutte contre les inégalités occupe aujourd’hui le devant de la scène internationale. Mais la lumière projetée sur leurs dimensions économiques laisse souvent dans l’ombre les conditions sociales de leur production, les modalités de leur traitement, ou encore les transformations sociales qu’elles portent en elles. Comment et par qui sont définis...
There is growing evidence showing that people with disabilities face more frequently socioeconomic inequities than their non-disabled peers. This study aims to examine to what extent socioeconomic consequences of disability contribute to poorer access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for Cameroonian with disabilities and how these o...
Data from Demographic and Health Surveys and the UN Population Division present fertility trends in countries where fertility decline has been slow and irregular, i.e., Cameroon, Comoros, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea , Mozambique, Senegal, and Tanzania. Using the decomposition method, the chapter highlights the influence of female education as well as the...
Background
In resource-limited settings, people with disabilities have been left behind in the response to HIV. In the
HandiVIH study, we estimate and compare HIV prevalence and associated risk factors between people with and
without disabilities.
Methods
In this cross-sectional, population-based, observational study, we used two-phase random sam...
Introduction In resource-limited countries, people with disabilities seem to be particularly vulnerable to HIV infection due to barriers to accessing information and services, frequent exposure to sexual violence and social exclusion. However, they have often been left behind in the HIV response, probably because of the lack of reliable epidemiolog...
(1) In 2013, an estimated 40% of pregnancies in Cameroon were unintended. (2) More than six in 10 women who want to avoid pregnancy either do not practice contraception or use a relatively ineffective traditional method. These women can be said to have an unmet need for modern contraception. (3) Meeting just half of this unmet need would prevent 18...
Primary healthcare in developed countries is undergoing important reforms, and these require evaluation strategies to assess how well the population's expectations are being met. Although numerous instruments are available to evaluate primary healthcare (PHC) from the patient perspective, they do not all measure the same range of constructs. To ana...
Introduction:
Lack of information on the warning signs of complications during pregnancy, parturition and postpartum hampers women's ability to partake fully in safe motherhood initiatives. We assessed the extent to which women in 19 countries of sub-Saharan Africa recall receiving information about pregnancy complications during antenatal care fo...
La pertinence de la qualité dans la perspective des clients est de plus en plus reconnue en santé reproductive mais les initiatives de changement sont rares, en partie parce que ses composantes sont encore scientifiquement peu documentées. Cet article examine la problématique de la qualité des services et de soins obstétricaux en Afrique dans la pe...
This paper examines the cultural acceptability of biomedical obstetrical services and care across an anthropological literature review and a qualitative survey carried out in North Cameroon. The results reveal that cultural acceptability of biomedical services is impaired by a series of requirements such as a too early first prenatal visit; use in...
Etude statistique de l'évolution des surmortalités féminines dans l'enfance (0 et 1-4 ans) des années 1970 aux années 1990 en Afrique. Analyse ensuite des facteurs (sociaux, culturels, sanitaires, économiques) à l'origine des différences entre garçons et filles, notamment au Cameroun.

The past evolution is traced on the basis of census data (1976 and 1987) of the Demographic and Health Survey of 1998. The future evolution is simulated on a time span of 35 years, taki...
