Résumé La tendance actuelle montre que les institutions des services de santé et les gouvernements répondent de façon inadéquate aux besoins de plus en plus nombreux d’accès aux services de santé par les populations vieillissantes du Canada et d’autres pays développés. Après l’analyse de l’enquête post-censitaire 2006 de Statistiques Canada sur la Vitalité des Minorités de Langue Officielle, cette étude démontre qu’outre l’age, et en plus d’autres déterminants, les barrières linguistiques...

Objectives Infant mortality in minority populations of Canada is poorly understood, despite evidence of ethnic inequality in other countries. We studied infant mortality in different linguistic groups of Quebec, and assessed how language and deprivation impacted rates over time. Study design Population-level study of vital statistics data for 1,985,287 live births and 10,283 infant deaths reported in Quebec from 1989 through 2012. Methods We computed infant mortality rates for French,...

Objectives We assessed trends in stillbirth over time for Francophones and Anglophones of Quebec, a large Canadian province with publically funded health care and an English-speaking minority. Methods We calculated stillbirth rates for Francophones and Anglophones, and estimated hazard ratios (HR) by decade from 1981 to 2010, adjusting for maternal characteristics. We analyzed temporal trends by gestational interval and cause of fetal death. Results Stillbirth rates decreased in Quebec...

Aim We evaluated the ages and causes of death contributing to life expectancy gaps between economically advantaged and disadvantaged Francophones and Anglophones of Montréal, a Canadian metropolitan centre. Subject and Methods We partitioned the life expectancy gap at birth between socioeconomically disadvantaged and advantaged Francophones and Anglophones of Montréal (Québec) into age and cause of death components for two periods (1989–1993, 2002–2006). Changes in the contributions of...

Language is an important determinant of health, but analyses of linguistic inequalities in mortality are scant, especially for Canadian linguistic groups with European roots. We evaluated the life expectancy gap between the Francophone majority and Anglophone minority of Québec, Canada, both over time and across major provincial areas. Arriaga’s method was used to estimate the age and cause of death groups contributing to changes in the life expectancy gap at birth between 1989–1993 and...

This study investigated temporal trends in heterogeneity of foetal growth restriction across neighbourhood deprivation levels for two culturally distinct communities (Anglophones and Francophones) in a North American metropolitan centre. Inequalities in foetal growth restriction related to deprivation fell from 1989 to 2008 for Francophones, but initial improvements for Anglophones later reversed with a rise in poor foetal growth in the most materially disadvantaged and, unexpectedly,...

Objectives We evaluated temporal and regional inequalities in adverse birth outcomes between Anglophones and Francophones of a Canadian province. Methods Odds ratios and rate differences in preterm birth (PTB, <37 gestational weeks) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth were computed for Anglophones relative to Francophones for singleton live births in Québec from 1981 to 2008 (N = 2,292,237), adjusting for maternal characteristics. Trends over time and residential region were...

Purpose. Inequality in use of fetal autopsy is poorly understood, despite the importance of autopsy in establishing the cause of stillbirth for future prevention. We examined fetal autopsy rates between linguistic minorities in Quebec, Canada, and assessed trends over three decades. Methods. Using registry data on 11,992 stillbirths from 1981–2011, we calculated fetal autopsy rates for Francophones, Anglophones, and Allophones by decade. Results. We found lower fetal autopsy rates for...

Research on linguistic minorities have revealed important disparities in Canada. Numerous analyses have identified the need for further studies looking at health status, healthcare utilization access barriers and quality of care affecting francophone living in a minority contexts (FLMCs) in Canada.1 The value and need to improve access and use of valid health information to support the planification of health and social services is well documented; however, important gaps and challenges...

Background: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely hit Canadian nursing facilities (81% of deaths). To this toll, public health measures (eg, visitation restriction) have subsequently deepened the social isolation and loneliness of residents in nursing facilities (NFs), especially those in linguistic minority settings: Anglophone institutions in Quebec and Francophone institutions outside Quebec. However, very few COVID-19 initiatives targeting these populations specifically...

Résumé Les minorités de langue officielle (les francophones hors-Québec et les anglophones du Québec) représentent près de 6,4 % de la population canadienne. Bien que le français et l’anglais aient un statut d’égalité juridique selon la Constitution canadienne, il y a lieu de s’interroger sur leur égalité dans le domaine de la santé : les communautés francophones et anglophones du Canada, selon leur statut de minorité ou de majorité, présentent-elles le même profil santé ? Ont-elles...
