Sexual assault victims are at major risk of being infected by sexually transmitted infections (STI). This article aims to examine and compare the prevalence of eight STIs (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, human papillomavirus) among victims and non-victims of sexual abuse. A national cross-sectional study was conducted in Haiti, u...
Although the high prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Haiti is well-documented, its association with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among adolescents and young adults remains unexplored. Using a representative sample of adolescents and young adults from IPV and PTSD in Youth in Haiti 3 rural and urban areas across the 1...
Very little is known in Haiti and the Caribbean regarding child and lifetime sexual victimization. Using a nationally representative sample of adolescents and young adults aged 15–24, this study aimed to document the prevalence, risk factors and mental health correlates of lifetime and child sexual violence in Haiti. A national cross-sectional surr...
L’idéologie de la créolité en vogue dans les Antilles françaises connaît un faible succès en Haïti, où elle ne parvient pas à concurrencer le discours de l’haïtianité élaboré par les tenants du nationalisme culturel de la fin des années 1920 et qui s’est imposé au cours des générations suivantes. L’influence d’un tel discours sur les arts et la lit...

Methods: Participants (N= 1267, 40.9% women) were recruited from the D...
Objective
Studies have documented the significant direct and indirect psychological, social, and economic consequences of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in many countries but little is known on its impact in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) already facing difficult living conditions and having vulnerable health systems that create...
La situation des religions durant l’occupation américaine d’Haïti (1915–1934) est très peu étudiée. Certains chercheurs n’accordent pas assez d’importance aux sources primaires et, de ce fait, expriment des préjugés à l’égard de certaines religions. Ainsi il est courant d’entendre que le protestantisme, dans son ensemble, a été instrumentalisé par...
Following the earthquake, studies were carried out to evaluate its impact on mental health. Depending on the age group and the time of assessment, prevalences ranged from 24.6% to 47.7% for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and from 26.0% to 46.2% for major depressive disorder (1–4). Studies also revealed difficulties in mourning the deaths of t...
Très peu d’études scientifiques concernent l’histoire de la franc-maçonnerie en Haïti. Pourtant, particulièrement au xix e siècle, cette association a eu une influence considérable sur la vie sociale et politique du pays. Par tradition, la plupart des hommes d’Etat haïtiens ont fréquenté des loges maçonniques qui, bien que se rejoignant autour de c...
Founded in 1749, the city of Port-au-Prince, capital of Haiti, is today the place of concentration of political and economic power in Haiti. Throughout the nineteenth century, it was the stage of events indicating the socio-political predominance of the Catholic Church. Until the 1950s, this supremacy was still indisputable especially since, in sev...

Nevertheless, particularly in the nineteenth century, this association had a considerable influence on the social and political life of the country. Traditionally, most of the Haitian Statesmen attended the Masonic lodges, which, although joining around certain ideological principl...

In 2005, the centennial commemoration of the law separating church and state provided an opportunity for French academics to review the progress and limits of secularism in the world. Some of these works further clarified the context of the passage of this law and its consequences. Our article examines the influence of the "conflict of two Frances"...
En novembre 1803, Haïti s’affranchit de la domination française. Dès lors, elle s’expose à l’hostilité des puissances coloniales et au racisme d’écrivains européens persuadés de l’incapacité d’un peuple noir à s’auto-gouverner. Ces derniers s’appuient notamment sur l’instabilité politique (renversement de président, révoltes paysannes, etc.). En ré...

The conflict of beliefs in family and individual Haitian psyches after the seism of January 12, 2010
Natural disasters reactivate religious and cultural beliefs of the affected population. This is often an opportunity to question the afterlife in that it is a possibility of easing the search for meaning in the face of trauma and the un-representabl...
Tension between the « Breton clergy » and Haitian freemasonry in the nineteenth century
Many scholars present the official clergy as a natural ally of the Haitian State in the nineteenth century. However, the predominantly Breton (France), Catholic missionaries were integrated amidst conflicts with the national elite that included a number of Freem...
Until the 1920s, Haitian voodoo was generally regarded as a string of superstitions, witchcraft and ritual cannibalism. This situation generated anti-superstition campaigns, supported by the governmental and intellectual elites, to eradicate the signs of primitiveness obstructing civilization. In 1928, the publication of Jean Price-Mars's So Spoke...
