Abstract

Résumé

In the wake of the killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, there was a strong call to action, first in North America and then globally, to tackle racism and promote racial justice . Many universities created “equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism (EDI-AR)” task forces and other mechanisms with goals of transforming institutions entrenched in histories of colonialism and white supremacy. Concurrently, decolonizing global health movements have been gaining momentum asking all stakeholders including academic institutes to advance equity and dismantle systemic forms of oppression .

Often equity efforts initiated during watershed moments face the challenge of losing team. The crescendos and unavoidable reckoning with every individual’s relationship to structural injustices ultimately dwindle and the status quo in academia continues to instill ingrained systems of discrimination. Deliberate equity building in academia including decolonizing curricula and institutional practices are also highly relevant to addressing structural fault lines in global health governing models, implementation practices and research partnerships . Lessons from failures in Covid-19 pandemic and climate crisis highlight the urgency to better equip students and faculty to lead equity centered approaches.

In this essay, we highlight six key considerations that senior leadership and community at large within high income country (HIC) global health academic institutions need to be mindful to successfully embed equity efforts into the fabric of their foundation. While our experiences as authors stem largely from our engagement in global health academia, the following reflections cut across disciplines.

This chapter, based on results from a qualitative research project commissioned by the Canadian Department of Justice, analyzes the availability of protection services for victims of trafficking in persons in Canada from the perspective of demand and supply.1 A first objective is to identify and highlight discrepancies between the “demand” for victim protection services versus the “supply” of community-based services. A second objective is to determine the root causes of these discrepancies. The voices of the NGOs who participated in the project will illustrate these dynamics. Policy recommendations to correct the imbalances between victims’ needs for services and NGOs’ ability to provide those services will conclude the chapter. 1. Despite the convention which usually places the word supply first when referring to supply and demand, the authors choose to inverse the terms in order to emphasize the demand aspect.

An overview of the phenomenon of human trafficking will situate the Canadian experience within an international context and the evolution of awareness and debates around trafficking among Canadian academics, policymakers and practitioners will be discussed. A brief description of the research project on which this chapter is based will be offered. The authors will specify the methodology applied and the results will be presented, discussing how the theory of demand and supply can be used to understand the dynamics surrounding community-based services for trafficking victims. The voices of NGOs, expressed through interview data, will illustrate the “demand” for services in terms of the needs of victims NGOs encounter and the “supply” of such services by community-based actors. An analysis of the gaps that exist between the demand and supply of services will precede the final section where policy recommendations will be offered to diminish the gaps in the hopes of better respecting the human rights of the victims of human trafficking.

Dans un contexte où les inégalités d’accès aux soins psychiatriques sont de plus en plus reconnues comme un enjeu préoccupant de santé publique dans les pays de la région subsaharienne, et alors que les représentations sociales associées aux troubles mentaux exercent une influence notable sur cet accès aux soins, celles-ci ont suscité jusqu’à présent peu de travaux. Dans cet article, nous appréhendons les entités nosologiques populaires et leurs principales caractéristiques en milieu urbain au Burkina Faso. Pour ce faire, 7 groupes de discussion et 16 entretiens individuels ont été menés auprès de différents acteurs dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso. Une analyse thématique a permis d’identifier deux entités nosologiques populaires. Le terme Kougolobana renvoie à une altération du cerveau associée à l’envoûtement par des entités surnaturelles et s’exprime sporadiquement ; alors que le terme Fatoya renvoie à une condition incurable causée par la commission d’actes transgressifs de différentes natures. Nos résultats mettent en lumière l’influence mutuelle des registres traditionnels et biopsychosociaux dans la construction de ces entités nosologiques. Ces résultats permettent d’amorcer une réflexion sur la place centrale qu’occupe la notion de transgression dans les représentations sociales des troubles de santé mentale dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso.

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.

Background

Children in Afghanistan live in dangerous areas, and have been exposed to traumatic events and chaotic education. Progress has been made on access to education for girls who were the most affected by traditional attitudes against engagement in education.

Objectives

The objectives were to evaluate the mental health of Afghan children living in regions of conflict and the association of mental health with school attendance for girls and boys.

Method

The study included 2707 school aged children in eight regions of Afghanistan (16 provinces) residing in households recruited through a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling strategy in 2017. The level of terrorist threat was evaluated by the intensity of terrorist attacks recorded that year in each province. Child mental health was assessed with the parental report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) along with information on school attendance, sociodemographic characteristics and geographic location.

Results

A total of 52.75% of children had scores above threshold for the SDQ total difficulties score, 39.19% for emotional difficulties, 51.98% for conduct challenges, and 15.37% for hyperactivity/inattention. Peer relationship problems were high (82.86%) and 12.38% reported that these problems impacted daily life. The level of terrorist threat was associated with SDQ total difficulties (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 4.08, P < 0.0001), with youth in regions with high levels of terrorist threat more likely to have problems than youth in regions with low or medium levels of danger, independent of region and ethnicity. School attendance was negatively associated with emotional symptoms (AOR = 0.65, P < 0.0001) and mental health difficulties with impairment (AOR = 0.67, P = 0.007), but positively associated with peer relationships difficulties (AOR = 1.96, P > 0.0001). Conduct (AOR = 1.66, P < .0001) and SDQ total difficulties (AOR = 1.22, P = 0.019) were higher among boys. Overall, gender did not modify the relationship between school attendance and child mental health.

Conclusion

Attending school is essential for children’s mental health, across gender, and should be supported as a priority in Afghanistan despite the return of the Taliban.

Inequalities in access to psychiatric care are increasingly recognized as a serious public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa. In these countries, little information is available regarding social representations of mental disorders, although these can have a significant influence on access to care. In this article, we examine the popular nosological entities and their characteristics in urban Burkina Faso. To do so, 7 focus groups and 16 individual interviews were conducted with various actors in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. A thematic analysis revealed two popular nosological entities. The term Kougolobana refers to an alteration of the brain associated with bewitchment by supernatural entities and is expressed sporadically; whereas the term Fatoya refers to an incurable condition caused by the commission of transgressive acts of various kinds. Our results highlight the mutual influence of traditional and bio-psycho-social registers in the construction of these nosological entities. These results allow us to reflect on the centrality of the notion of transgression in the social representations of mental health disorders in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso.

Si la recherche en sciences sociales sur le rôle des cabinets de conseil privés dans l’action publique est foisonnante, leur intervention dans la gestion publique de crises sanitaires ou d’épidémies est peu étudiée. La pandémie de COVID-19 a pourtant révélé un recours important à ces firmes de la part d’administrations publiques de nombreux pays. Cette revue exploratoire des écrits scientifiques a pour objectif d’identifier les recherches qui portent sur la participation de ces cabinets au gouvernement d’épidémies et de crises sanitaires survenues depuis 2000 : que disent-elles du rôle de ces cabinets et quelles méthodes sont mobilisées ? Les étapes du modèle PRISMA-ScR ont permis d’identifier seulement 24 références depuis 2000. Trois approches sont mobilisées par les auteur·e·s qui déterminent leur analyses sur le rôle des cabinets : l’approche gestionnaire, la consultocratie et l’hybridation des élites. Cette revue permet de rendre compte d’un point aveugle des écrits scientifiques et appelle à la réalisation de recherches empiriques sur le sujet.

Case formulation is used in clinical training to weave together theoretical perspectives and support a shared plan of action. Although a cornerstone of clinical practice, critical social theorists have highlighted the risks of depoliticizing political struggles and of reifying and fixing subjects when using psychopathology and case formulation to address situations of injustice. In the field of violent radicalization, this risk is increased by the extreme affects evoked by terror in practitioners and in societies. This article explores the challenges of training clinicians in the field of violent radicalization. It does so by analyzing a Community of Practice (CoP) that was developed to support practitioners involved in this domain of practice in Quebec, Canada. Four focus groups with CoP participants and participant observation of nine CoP meetings were conducted. Thematic and narrative analyses were used to explore the training potential of the CoP and to identify the discursive processes and group dynamics associated with this modality. Results indicate that the diversity of professional perspectives and social positionalities in the group plays a central role in helping participants become aware of their biases and in developing more complex understandings of cases and of their social embedding. Results also suggest that the collective holding of risk is key to preserve practitioners’ investment in patients involved with violent radicalization. The sensitive issue of partnership between health and social services and security agencies is also addressed. Results suggest that CoPs with strong leadership allow for experiential training to enhance clinical and critical thinking.

Given the increasing value placed on research among social work practitioners, and that field education is primarily responsible for the integration of social work values, knowledge, and practice, it is essential that research skills be incorporated into BSW and MSW field practica. In 2020, a team of faculty co-investigators and students explored the integration of research activities into Canadian BSW and MSW field practica through the review of online field education materials of all accredited programs. We make the argument that not only is it essential for professional social workers to receive training in practice research, but also that there is much room for us to integrate such research into field education. We begin with a review of the literature regarding social work student attitudes toward research, widely known to be hesitant and even hostile, before discussing the limited international literature (English and French) on the experience of integrating research into field education. After describing our methods, we then present our findings in terms of BSW and MSW programs at Canada’s anglophone and francophone universities. We conclude with a discussion of the implications in terms of ways to increase the role of research in field practica.

Ce rapport technique documente les résultats d’une enquête menée en 2022 auprès du personnel de première ligne des organismes membres de la TCRI, la Table de concertation des organismes au service des personnes réfugiées et immigrantes. Un sondage auprès des gestionnaires fait l’objet d’un rapport distinct. Le sondage a été réalisé en collaboration avec OCASI, l’Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, et la TCRI par le biais de Building Migrant Resilience in Cities/ Immigration et résilience en milieu urbain (BMRC-IRMU), un partenariat financé par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines (CRSH). Un groupe de travail sur les services d’accueil des nouveaux arrivants composé de membres de la communauté et d’universitaires du BMRC-IRMU ont aidé à orienter la recherche. L’instrument de sondage a été approuvé par le Comité d’examen des participants humains de l’Université York. Du point de vue des travailleurs de première ligne, le sondage examine les impacts de la COVID-19 sur eux, les clients et les organismes québécois au cours de la période de douze mois suivant la première vague de la pandémie. De nombreuses questions sont similaires à un sondage antérieur mené par OCASI et portant sur la première vague de la pandémie.

Accumulation of diverse mutations across the structural and nonstructural genes is leading to rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2, altering its pathogenicity. We performed whole genome sequencing of 239 SARS-CoV-2 RNA samples collected from both adult and pediatric patients across eastern India (West Bengal), during the second pandemic wave in India (April–May 2021). In addition to several common spike mutations within the Delta variant, a unique constellation of eight co-appearing non-Spike mutations was identified, which revealed a high degree of positive mutual correlation. Our results also demonstrated the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants among unvaccinated pediatric patients. 41.4% of our studied Delta strains harbored this signature set of eight co-appearing non-Spike mutations and phylogenetically out-clustered other Delta sub-lineages like 21J, 21A, or 21I. This is the first report from eastern India that portrayed a landscape of co-appearing mutations in the non-Spike proteins, which might have led to the evolution of a distinct Delta subcluster. Accumulation of such mutations in SARS-CoV-2 may lead to the emergence of “vaccine-evading variants.” Hence, monitoring of such non-Spike mutations will be significant in the formulation of any future vaccines against those SARS-CoV-2 variants that might evade the current vaccine-induced immunity, among both the pediatric and adult populations.

Abstract

Racism, white supremacy, and power have come under intimate inquiry, and deeper perspectives are coming to the fore as we reckon with structural injustices, societally and within our professions in medicine, public health, and academia. Our respective fields can no longer deny the existence of systemic racism and how it affects the health of Indigenous, Black, and racialised diaspora communities. The very practice of medicine perpetuates colonialism and racism on multiple levels, such as erroneously including race as a risk factor for disease and the dominance of Euro-ethnocentric scientific methods in medicine. As settler women of Chinese and South Asian descent in Canada, we are trying to make sense of the societal upheavals that have shaken us while existing in the liminal professional space we occupy.

Introduction : Au Burkina Faso, le manque d’études sur les itinéraires thérapeutiques en santé mentale limite la compréhension des obstacles associés au recours aux soins. Comme dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique subsaharienne, cette situation se traduit par une difficulté des systèmes de santé à adapter l’offre de soins disponible à la réalité des personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux.
But de l’étude : Dans cette étude, des observations participantes ont été faites ; sept groupes de discussion et 25 entretiens individuels ont ainsi été organisés afin d’explorer les représentations sociales et l’utilisation des soins existants en santé mentale. Différents acteurs ont été interrogés : patients, soignants, accompagnants et informateurs clés.
Résultats : Une analyse thématique a révélé la présence de trois systèmes de soins dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso : 1) les soins psychiatriques associés à une fonction diagnostique et à la prise en charge de pathologies graves ou déclenchées par des causes « naturelles », 2) les soins traditionnels perçus comme ayant une fonction de guérison pour les pathologies « surnaturelles », mais associés à un risque d’escroquerie, et 3) les soins informels prodigués par la famille identifiés comme représentant le pilier des itinéraires thérapeutiques.
Conclusions : Cette étude révèle qu’à travers la diversité des ressources consultées, l’entourage direct représente le principal pourvoyeur de soins et que les contraintes financières constituent l’obstacle principal aux recours aux soins. Ce constat nous amène à formuler des recommandations relatives à l’élaboration d’éventuelles politiques publiques à l’échelle nationale ainsi qu’à l’organisation des services de santé dans la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso.

We sought to determine the association between SES and glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) followed at the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH), and whether insulin pump use, processes of care and depression modified the association. Using MCH’s Pediatric Diabetes Database, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of children ages 0 to 18 years diagnosed with T1D for at least a year with a visit between November 2019 and October 2020. Our outcome was mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the following year. Our main exposure was socioeconomic status (SES; least deprived, moderately deprived, most deprived) measured by the Material and Social Deprivation Index. We used multivariable linear regression to determine the association between SES and HbA1c, adjusting for age, sex, diabetes duration, insulin pump use and processes of care. Interaction terms for insulin pump, processes of care and depression were included. A total of 306 children were identified. Children in the most deprived quintiles had higher mean HbA1c compared to those in the least deprived quintiles (p<0.01). HbA1c in the most deprived quintiles was 0.5% higher compared to the least deprived quintiles (95% confidence interval, 0.14 to 0.86). Effect modification by insulin pump, processes of care and depression was not significant. Consistent with previous findings, lower SES was associated with higher HbA1c. Our results are important for further research to understand contributing factors to these disparities.

La pandémie de maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) a exacerbé les inégalités sociales dans les aspects ethniques, raciaux et socio-économiques, avec d’importantes conséquences nocives pour les enfants. En s’appuyant sur les leçons tirées des initiatives communautaires, le présent commentaire propose une réflexion sur les défis de l’équité, de la diversité et de l’inclusion qui sont intégrés dans les campagnes de vaccination des enfants dans un contexte d’urgence. Nous sommes d’avis que la mise en place de pratiques équitables et inclusives liées à la vaccination des enfants des communautés marginalisées est un défi à multiples facettes. Au-delà des bonnes intentions (vouloir protéger les enfants), les risques et les avantages associés à la mise en évidence de la diversité dans chaque intervention doivent être soigneusement examinés, surtout en ce qui concerne une procédure contestée ou polarisée, comme la vaccination avec un nouveau type de vaccin. Souvent, une approche unique réfute et perpétue les inégalités structurelles. Dans d’autres cas, la mise en évidence de la diversité et des inégalités peut par inadvertance accroître la stigmatisation et la discrimination, et nuire davantage ou infantiliser les collectivités ciblées. En offrant des perspectives multiples, une approche transdisciplinaire peut appuyer la prise de décision dans un contexte de crise.
