Résumé : Au Sahel et dans la Corne de l'Afrique, la menace terroriste et jihadiste retient généralement toute l'attention des milieux sécuritaires. Mais la diffusion de la violence sur le continent résulte aussi du banditisme rural et de la défaillance des Etats, avec des variations importantes d'une région à l'autre.

Résumé : Background Timely linkage to care and ART initiation is critical to decrease the risks of HIV-related morbidity, mortality and HIV transmission, but is often challenging. We report on the implementation and effectiveness of a linkage-to-care intervention in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Methods In the ANRS 12249 TasP trial on Universal Testing and Treatment (UTT) implemented between 2012–2016, resident individuals ≥16 years were offered home-based HIV testing every six months. Those ascertained to be HIV-positive were referred to trial clinics. Starting May 2013, a linkage-to-care intervention was implemented in both trial arms, consisting of tracking through phone calls and/or home visits to “re-refer” people who had not linked to care to trial clinics within three months of the first home-based referral. Fidelity in implementing the planned intervention was described using Kaplan-Meier estimation to compute conditional probabilities of being tracked and of being re-referred by the linkage-to-care team. Effect of the intervention on time to linkage-to-care was analysed using a Cox regression model censored for death, migration, and end of data follow-up. Results Among the 2,837 individuals (73.7% female) included in the analysis, 904 (32%) were tracked at least once, and 573 of them (63.4%) were re-referred. Probabilities of being re-referred was 17% within six months of first referral and 31% within twelve months. Compared to individuals not re-referred by the intervention, linkage-to-care was significantly higher among those with at least one re-referral through phone call (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.82; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.47–2.25), and among those with re-referral through both phone call and home visit (aHR = 3.94; 95% CI = 2.07–7.48). Conclusions Phone calls and home visits following HIV testing were challenging to implement, but appeared effective in improving linkage-to-care amongst those receiving the intervention. Such patient-centred strategies should be part of UTT programs to achieve the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets.

Résumé : À Antananarivo, lors de la première vague de la pandémie de Covid-19, les modes et les lieux de distribution des médicaments antirétroviraux ont dû être réorganisés afin de maintenir le traitement médical des personnes vivant avec le VIH (PvVIH). Ce texte s’appuie sur une étude par entretiens semi-directifs réalisée auprès d’acteurs et actrices du VIH (PvVIH, professionnel·le·s de santé, acteur·rice·s associatif·ve·s) entre janvier et juillet 2021. Alors que l’une des structures de soins enquêtées a réaménagé un espace dans l’enceinte de l’hôpital pour y délivrer les médicaments, d’autres structures ont délocalisé leur distribution à l’extérieur, au plus près des PvVIH. Ces réorganisations ont été guidées par le souci du maintien de la confidentialité et ont affecté les mobilités des personnes et des molécules. L’article met en lumière les compétences spatiales et sociales des patient·e·s ainsi que le rôle des médiateurs et médiatrices associatif·ive·s et l’importance du lien téléphonique comme support de care dans un contexte de distance géographique entre patient·e·s, soignant·e·s et acteur·rice·s associatif·ve·s.

Résumé : Objectives This is the first study contrasting the experience of women residing in France and travelling for abortion services inside and outside their country of residence. We compare travel reasons and costs as well as our study participants’ opinions of abortion legislation. The article documents legal and procedural barriers related to accessing local and timely abortions and provides policy recommendations to broaden care options.Methods The study is based on a mixed-methods research design. Quantitative data were descriptively analysed using Stata and drawn from 100 surveys with in-country abortion seekers collected from 3 Parisian hospitals, and 57 surveys with French residents seeking abortion care in the Netherlands (42), Spain (10) and the UK (5). Qualitative data were thematically analysed using ATLAS.ti and drawn from 36 interviews with French residents (23 in-country abortion seekers and 13 cross-border abortion travellers).Findings Gestational age (GA) limits were the key reason for cross-border travel, while lack of close-by, timely and good quality abortion care was the main driver for in-country abortion travel. Unlike in-country travellers, cross-border abortion seekers faced significant financial costs and burdens related to such travel. Partners, family members and service providers offered important support structures to both cross-border and in-country travellers.Conclusions Legal time limits appeared to be the key driver for abortion-related travel of French residents. Having passed or being at risk of exceeding the GA limit caused women to travel outside their country or department of residence for abortion care.All data relevant to the study are included in the article or uploaded as supplementary information.

Résumé : Combination HIV prevention aims to provide the right mix of biomedical, behavioral and structural interventions, and is considered the best approach to curb the HIV pandemic. The impact evaluation of combined HIV prevention intervention (CHPI) provides critical information for decision making. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to map the designs and methods used in these studies. We searched original articles indexed in Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed. Fifty-eight studies assessing the impact of CHPI on HIV transmission were included. Most of the studies took place in Asia or sub-Saharan Africa and were published from 2000 onward. We identified 36 (62.1%) quasi-experimental studies (posttest, pretest–posttest and nonequivalent group designs) and 22 (37.9%) experimental studies (randomized designs). The findings suggest that diverse methods are already rooted in CHPI impact evaluation practices as recommended but should be better reported. CHPI impact evaluation would benefit from more comprehensive approaches.

Résumé : The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the impact of social inequalities in health (SIH). Various studies have shown significant inequalities in mortality and morbidity associated with COVID-19 and the influence of social determinants of health. The objective of this qualitative case study was to analyze the consideration of SIH in the design of two key COVID-19 prevention and control interventions in France: testing and contact tracing. Interviews were conducted with 36 key informants involved in the design of the intervention and/or the government response to the pandemic as well as relevant documents (n = 15) were reviewed. We applied data triangulation and a hybrid deductive and inductive analysis to analyze the data. Findings revealed the divergent understandings and perspectives about SIH, as well as the challenges associated with consideration for these at the beginning stages of the pandemic. Despite a shared concern for SIH between the participants, an epidemiological frame of reference dominated the design of the intervention. It resulted in a model in which consideration for SIH appeared as a complement, with a clinical goal of the intervention: breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission. Although the COVID-19 health crisis highlighted the importance of SIH, it did not appear to be an opportunity to further their consideration in response efforts. This article provides original insights into consideration for SIH in the design of testing and contact-tracing interventions based upon a qualitative investigation.The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of social inequalities in health (SIH) and the disproportionate burden of the pandemic and its consequences related to socioeconomic status, ethnicity and race, among other determinants of health. Public health interventions are likely to increase SIH when they are not considered in the design phase. Through a qualitative case study, we analyzed the design of one of the first local initiative providing testing and contact tracing offer to the general population in the Île-de-France region (Paris region, France) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This article discusses the uncertainty and challenges associated with consideration for SIH in the intervention design. It explores the diverse understandings of SIH among the actors and the complexities of cross-sectoral partnerships addressing SIH in times of health crisis. Despite a consensual concern for this issue among the respondents, an epidemiological frame of reference dominated the intervention design. It resulted in a model in which consideration for SIH appeared as a complement, with a clinical goal of the intervention: breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission.

Résumé : OBJECTIVES: This article shows how conceptual models can help to develop and evaluate public health interventions. It also reports on the challenges of getting stakeholders involved. METHOD: The analysis is based on the reflexive approach applied by the authors during their participation in two public health intervention research (PHIR) projects, in France and in Burkina Faso. RESULTS: In Paris, PHIR aimed to enable sub-Saharan immigrants to appropriate the existing means of prevention and sexual health care and to strengthen their empowerment in view of preserving their health. Evaluation was carried out using mixed methods. The intervention process theory is based on Ninacs’ conceptual model of individual empowerment. The Consolidated Framework For Implementation Research (CFIR) was mobilized a posteriori to analyze the process. PHIR stemmed from collaboration between a research team and two associations. The different stakeholders were involved in the evaluation process, as were, at certain times, persons in highly precarious situations. In Ouagadougou, a community-based dengue vector control intervention was deployed to address an essential but neglected need. As regards evaluation, we opted for a holistic, mixed method approach (effectiveness and process). The contents of the intervention were determined based on tacit knowledge, a community preference survey and solid evidence. The theoretical framework of the intervention consisted in an eco-biological model of vector control. The implementation analysis combined an internal assessment of implementation fidelity with an external CFIR process analysis. All stakeholders were involved in the evaluation process. DISCUSSION: Analysis confirmed not only the value of process evaluations in PHIR, but also the primordial importance of a rigorous approach. Stakeholder involvement is a major challenge to be addressed early in the planning of RISPs; with this in mind, effective and ethically sound assessment mechanisms need to be drawn up. Interdisciplinary evaluative approaches should be preferred, and the use of justified, relevant, and flexible frameworks is highly recommended. CONCLUSION: Lessons learned for those wishing to engage in the process evaluation of a public health intervention are hereby presented.

Résumé : Introduction: Africa and Asia face many challenges related to knowledge transfer in the field of cancer diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care. Some of these challenges include adherence to screening, confidence in the capabilities of modern medicine and the local health system, the ability of patients to make informed decisions about their treatment, the response of family members and society, the ability of the health system to improve the quality of survival of patients, and the ability of the authorities to implement appropriate and effective cancer control policies. It is therefore essential to understand how evidence and experiential knowledge can be better integrated into the health system and into the actions or decisions of those involved in cancer control.

(2023) « Barrier measures implemented in French maternity hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional survey », Midwifery, 118 (mars 1), p. 103600. DOI : 10.1016/j.midw.2023.103600. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0266613823000037.

Résumé : Objectives The objectives of this survey were 1) to describe the changes over time of barrier measures in maternity units, specifically, co-parent visits and women wearing masks in birth rooms, and 2) to identify potential institutional determinants of these barrier measures. Design We used an online questionnaire to conduct a descriptive cross-sectional survey from May to July 2021. Setting All districts in mainland France. Participants Midwife supervisor of each maternity unit. Measurements Primary outcomes were “banning of visits” in the postnatal department during the first lockdown (March–May 2020), and “mandated mask-wearing in birth rooms” during the survey period (May–July 2021); the independent variables were maternity unit characteristics and location in a crisis area. Co-parent visits were considered only during the first lockdown as they were mostly allowed afterwards, and the wearing of masks was studied only during the survey period, as masks were unavailable for the population during the first lockdown. Results We obtained 343 responses, i.e., 75.2% of French maternity units. Visits to the postnatal department were forbidden in 39.3% of the maternity units during the first lockdown and in none during the study period. Maternity hospitals with neonatal intensive care units were the most likely to ban co-parent hospital visits (adjusted OR 2.34 [1.12; 4.96]). However, those were the maternity units least likely to encourage or require women to wear masks while pushing (adjusted OR, 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.11–0.77). Maternity units in crisis areas (i.e., with very high case counts) during the first lockdown banned visits significantly more often (adjusted OR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.05–2.70). Key conclusions Our study showed that barrier measures evolved during the course of the pandemic but remained extremely variable between facilities. Implications for practice Maternity units implemented drastic barrier measures at the beginning of the pandemic but were able to adapt these measures over time. It is now time to learn from this experience to ensure that women and infants are no longer harmed by these measures.

Résumé : Introduction : La polypathologie est une problématique de santé qui concerne de plus en plus de personnes vivant avec le VIH (PVVIH) et dont la fréquence augmente avec l'âge. Le recul actuel de l'hospitalo-centrisme devrait amener le médecin généraliste à occuper une place centrale dans le suivi extra-hospitalier des PVVIH âgées et polypathologiques. Notre étude cherche à comprendre la place qu'occupent réellement les médecins généralistes et les barrières qu'ils rencontrent dans la prise en charge des PVVIH âgées et polypathologiques. Méthodes : Nous présentons ici les résultats d'une étude ancillaire d'une précédente recherche (ANRS EP66-SEPTAVIH) qui évalue la fragilité chez les PVVIH âgées de 70 ans et plus. Elle repose sur des entretiens approfondis réalisés auprès de médecins généralistes et de PVVIH âgées de 70 ans et plus. Les données ont fait l'objet d'un traitement manuel et les thèmes et sous-thèmes identifiés ont été classés dans un tableau sous forme de grilles d'être soumis à une analyse thématique transversale. Résultats : À partir de 30 entretiens réalisés d'avril 2020 à juin 2021 auprès de 10 médecins généralistes et 20 PVVIH âgées de 70 ans et plus et polypathologiques, cette étude identifie les difficultés que les médecins généralistes rencontrent pour intervenir pleinement dans la prise en charge de ces patients. Leur suivi est caractérisé par des cloisonnements symboliques entre groupes de professionnels : morcellement organisationnel entre médecins généralistes et spécialistes, peur d'empiéter sur le rôle de l'autre professionnel de santé et absence fréquente de formalisation des rôles dans la coordination des soins. Conclusions : Afin de favoriser un suivi optimal et d'améliorer le vécu des PVVIH âgées, il est important que le rôle de chaque intervenant soit mieux défini pour un meilleur suivi partagé.

Résumé : Abstract This interdisciplinary article proposes a holistic approach to address challenges faced by African higher education owing to the shift to digital technology and online learning. The approach draws on theories of knowledge to promote equitable knowledge production and bridge the digital divide. The article highlights the potential of communities of practice as a complementary tool to indigenous methods and calls for the use of all available resources, including indigenous languages, to overcome existing inequalities and promote dynamic knowledge construction. The importance of understanding the historical influence of colonial and pre-colonial practices on epistemology is also emphasized. The article offers innovative approaches and insights to support equitable and inclusive knowledge production in African higher education contexts, with a focus on the Western region of the continent, facilitated by novel technologies that have been rolled out in learning institutions globally.

Résumé : Abstract This article provides a critical and genealogical analysis of the allostatic load research framework. AL research is used as a case study to analyse how the current biosocial context is articulated in the field of health inequalities research. Providing a contemporary analysis of AL studies with a genealogy of the AL concept, we show that the ambition to use biological tools to improve measurements, predictions, and ultimately public health action, is rooted in a history that predates current biosocial entanglements. We analyse the conceptual and methodological grounding of AL studies in relation to the ambitious propositions to address health inequalities they often convey. The difficulties in translating AL research findings into public health policies and the risks of biomedicalisation that could emerge through the use of AL are also addressed. While acknowledging these risks, however, we nuance the risk of depoliticisation associated with the biomedicalisation of social inequalities in health. In light of the historical analysis, we qualify the risks associated to a biologisation of social life that could emerge from AL research: it appears that these risks are more specifically rooted in methodological and epistemological problems that researchers would need to consider in the pursuit of AL research.

Résumé : Background Many Sahel countries in Africa are looking for solutions for universal health coverage (UHC). Mali is in the process of adopting the Universal Health Insurance Plan, which allows for the mutualisation of existing schemes. Its operationalisation requires numerous adjustments to the current mutualist proposal and innovations in the system. The study focuses on innovations experienced in mutuality and their conditions of scale for UHC in Mali. Methods This is qualitative research by multiple case studies. It is based on the collection of data by interviews (n=136), at a national and local level, on the analysis of documents (n=42) and a long field observation (7 months). The analytical framework concerns the dissemination and maintenance of health innovations (Greenhalgh et al, 2004). Result The analysis of this innovation shows an interest in the technical and institutional viability that determines its performance and scale-up. The procrastination and scepticism displayed at the highest level of the state and the international level, the reluctance, both financial and ideological, to renew the old mutualist proposal, penalise this Malian experiment. Conclusion This innovation is a decisive step in ensuring the health coverage of Mali’s agricultural and informal sectors. The reform will need to be amplified and supported in the future to expect the scale-up of a cheaper, technically and institutionally more efficient system. Without a political intention to mobilise national resources and accept a fundamental paradigm shift in health financing, the search for the financial viability of mutuality may, again, be at the expense of the performance.

DOI : 10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2023.104994. https://hal.science/hal-04068539.

Résumé : Objectives: To estimate the proportion of users of the TousAntiCovid app(lication) and identify factors associated with its non-use for contact tracing. Methods: We conducted an online survey of a quota sample of French adults between 8 and 18 January 2021. Three categories of TousAntiCovid use were considered: contact tracing, other or temporary usage, and no use. A weighted multiple logistic regression was performed to analyze the factors associated with these different uses. Results: Among the 1 000 respondents, 63.3% declared they had never downloaded the TousAntiCovid app, 23.5% used it for contact tracing. The remaining 13.2% did not enable contact tracing, mainly because of excessive battery consumption and fear of misuse of personal data. Trust in political representatives, financial deprivation and other factors were associated with never downloading the app. Conclusion: This study confirms the previously suggested links between trust in political representatives, financial deprivation and the use of contact tracing apps in France.

Résumé : Purpose This article compares the processes of community verification (CV) and user satisfaction surveys during the implementation of performance-based financing (PBF) in Mali and Burkina Faso. Design/methodology/approach The authors adopted a qualitative approach based on a multiple-case study design. Data were collected from August 10 to 25, 2017, in Mali, and from January to May 2016 in Burkina Faso. In Mali, 191 semi-structured interviews were conducted with investigators (people who collect information from health centre users in the communities, using survey tools), users, users' relatives, and health workers in three of the 10 health districts in the Koulikoro region. In Burkina Faso, 241 non-participatory observation sessions were recorded in a research diary, and 92 semi-structured interviews and informal discussions were conducted with investigators, community verifiers, users, PBF support staff at the national level, and administrative staff in one of the 15 health districts involved in PBF. The data were analysed inductively. Findings In both Mali and Burkina Faso, the delayed availability of survey forms led to a delay in starting the surveys. In Mali, to get off to a quick start, some investigators went to health centres to conduct the sampling with their supervisors. In both countries, investigators reported difficulties in finding certain users in the community due to incorrect spelling of names, lack of telephone details, incomplete information on the forms, common or similar sounding names within the community, and user mobility. There was little interference from health workers during user selection and surveys in both countries. In both countries, many surveys were conducted in the presence of the user's family (husband, father-in-law, brother, uncle, etc.) and the person accompanying the investigator. Also in both countries, some investigators filled in forms without investigating. They justified this data fabrication by the inadequate time available for the survey and the difficulty or impossibility of finding certain users. In both countries, the results were not communicated to health centre staff or users in either country. Research limitations/implications CV and user satisfaction surveys are important components of PBF implementation. However, their implementation and evaluation remain complex. The instruments for CV and user satisfaction surveys for PBF need to be adapted and simplified to the local context. Emphasis should be placed on data analysis and the use of CV results. Originality/value There are similarities and differences in the CV process and user satisfaction surveys in Mali and Burkina Faso. In Mali, the data from the user satisfaction survey was not analyzed, while in Burkina Faso, the analysis did not allow for feedback. The local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that carried out the CV were pre-financed for 50% of the amount in Mali. In Burkina Faso, community-based organisations (CBOs) were not pre-financed. The lack of financing negatively impacted the conduction of the surveys. In Mali, fraudulent completion of survey forms by interviewers was more common in urban than in rural areas. In Burkina Faso, the frauds concerned consultations for children under five years of age. In Burkina Faso, the survey form was not adapted to collect data on the level of satisfaction of the indigent. Key messages There were similarities and differences in the community verification (CV) processes in Mali and Burkina Faso. In both Mali and Burkina Faso, tracing users within their community was difficult for several reasons, including incorrect or incomplete information on forms, common or similar names, and user mobility. In both countries, there was no feedback on the results of the CV process to health centre staff or users. Survey forms were falsified by investigators in both countries. In Mali, falsification was more common in urban than in rural areas. In Burkina Faso, falsification was more often observed for consultations for children under five years of age.
