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 Few studies evaluate language-group differences in suicide mortality. This study assessed the suicide mortality gap between Francophones and Anglophones of Quebec, Canada according to age, sex, method, region and socioeconomic deprivation. Methods Suicide decedents were extracted from the Quebec death file for 1989–2007 (N = 24,465). Age- and sex-specific suicide mortality rates were calculated for four periods (1989–1993, 1994–1998, 1999–2003, 2004–2007) for Francophones and...

Mental illness affects about 1 in 5 Canadians during their lifetime but only approximately 30% of people needing help actually access mental health ser vices (Gravel, Connolly & Bédard, 2004). This low access rate is worrisome and may not accurately depict the reality as it is lived out by linguistic minorities. The present study documents both the need for and access to English-lan guage mental health services by the Estrie region’s English-speaking minority. Intending to record their...

Cette étude examine l’effet de l’aptitude en français sur la santé et sur les besoins de soins de santé non satisfaits au Québec, en utilisant un modèle multiple de régression logistique. Nos résultats indiquent que les anglophones unilingues du Québec sont 26 % plus susceptibles que les anglophones bilingues à se déclarer en mauvaise santé. Théoriquement, ce mauvais état de santé devrait mener à une utilisation accrue des soins de santé. Cependant, malgré leur mauvais état de santé, les...

Objective Leisure-time physical activity participation is influenced by various socio-demographic factors. Recent evidence suggests that being part of a minority negatively impacts an individual’s health status. The objective of this study was to compare inactive leisure-time physical activity between the Francophone minority and the Anglophone majority in Canada. Methods Data from the fusion of cycles 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 2008 and 2009 of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) were used....

À la fin des années 1970, le Québec se dote de la Charte de la langue française (Loi 101), qui modifie l’encadrement de la question de la langue de prestation des services de santé et de services sociaux. Parallèlement, de nombreux rapports, comités d’étude et politiques modifient en profondeur les pratiques institutionnelles et communautaires à l’endroit des personnes aux prises avec des problèmes de santé mentale. Depuis ce contexte de grandes transformations, où certaines réponses...
