Résumé Cet article explore les défis rencontrés par de nouveaux arrivants francophones à leur arrivée dans une communauté francophone en situation minoritaire au Canada, les répercussions qui en découlent et les facteurs modérateurs ayant une incidence sur leur intégration. Une recherche qualitative par entrevues semi-dirigées a été menée dans trois villes canadiennes auprès de soixante adultes immigrants ou réfugiés. Le défi principal auquel sont confrontées ces personnes est la barrière...

The French Language Services in home care Research Project was initiated by the PEI French Health Network (PEIFHN), and is part of the Network's ongoing work with respect to strengthening the delivery of French language services. The Project was designed to conduct background research into the nature and scope of needs of an aging Francophone population, with a particular focus on residents who require home care services to support them to remain in their home, and home community for as long...

Le Projet de recherche sur les soins à domicile en français a été amorcé par le Réseau Santé en français Î.-P.-É. (RSFÎPÉ) et fait partie du travail soutenu accompli par le réseau en vue d’améliorer la prestation des services en français. Le Projet visait la réalisation de recherches préliminaires sur la nature et l’étendue des besoins d’une population francophone vieillissante, notamment des résidents qui nécessitent des soins à domicile en vue de les aider à demeurer chez eux et dans leur...

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...

Les populations ayant des identités intersectionnelles comme les jeunes 2ELGBTQ* francophones en situation linguistique minoritaire au Canada, peuvent faire face à diverses formes de discrimination dans leur vie quotidienne. Cette discrimination peut provenir de plusieurs sphères, y compris sociale, économique et institutionnelle, et elle peut entraîner des conséquences graves sur la santé mentale et physique des individus. Les études ont montré que lorsque cette discrimination est combinée...

Ce projet de recherche piloté par le Réseau santé Alberta, en collaboration avec plusieurs directions régionales francophones de santé, s’est proposé d’étudier les enjeux de santé des immigrants francophones installés en Alberta, en Saskatchewan, au Yukon, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, au Nunavut et en Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, en référence aux déterminants sociaux de la santé et aux iniquités de santé perçues par ces francophones en situation minoritaire. Dans le but d’obtenir un...

Cette contribution analyse les conditions sociolinguistiques structurantes de la fragilité psychosociale des jeunes Franco-Albertains. Trois contextes émergent : l’anglo-dominance, la relation ambivalente avec le Québec et la francophonie non traditionnelle issue des programmes d’immersion ou de l’immigration. L’analyse des données relatives à ces contextes, et en référence aux notions de hiérarchie linguistique et de fragilité psychosociale, révèle des sentiments ambigus de fragilité....

Objective To compare the dietary intake and food choices between Francophone Canadians in a state of linguistic minority (outside of Quebec) and the English-speaking majority. Methods We used the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) cycle 2.2 (general health and 24-hour dietary recalls) to describe dietary intake of Francophone Canadians (excluding Quebec) and compare them to the English-speaking majority. The linguistic variable was determined by languages spoken at home, first...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on residents of long-term care facilities or nursing homes, characterized by significantly higher infection and mortality rates than in the general population. Previous research has highlighted significant disparities in COVID-19 outcomes, particularly among ethnic minorities. This study examines the association between belonging to a minority language community and COVID-19 infection rates in LTCFs in Ontario, Canada, at...

Objectives This study compared quality indicators across linguistic groups and sought to determine whether disparities are influenced by resident-facility language discordance in long-term care. Design Population-based retrospective cohort study using linked databases. Setting and Participants Retrospective cohort of newly admitted residents of long-term care facilities in Ontario, Canada, between 2010 and 2016 (N=47,727). Individual residents' information was obtained from the Resident...

Background Prior studies have demonstrated the negative impact of language barriers on access, quality, and safety of healthcare, which can lead to health disparities in linguistic minorities. As the population ages, those with multiple chronic diseases will require increasing levels of home care and long-term services. This study described the levels of multimorbidity among recipients of home care in Ontario, Canada by linguistic group. Methods Population-based retrospective cohort of...

Cet article fait état d'une recherche qualitative réalisée en milieu francophone minoritaire ontarien. Les perceptions et les pratiques de l'activité physique d'une trentaine de femmes sont analysées en regard de fondements sociologiques et de discours actuels sur le vieillissement. Ces discours portent sur la responsabilité individuelle de la santé, sur les liens entre la santé, la beauté et le vieillissement, sur la pratique des sports, la masculinité et la féminité et enfin sur...

Objective: It has been reported that being part of a minority group may be negatively associated with self-perceived health. The objective of this analysis was to determine whether there are differences in perceived health between the Francophone minority and Anglophone majority in New Brunswick, the only officially bilingual province in Canada. Methods: Data from the first four primary cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (2001 to 2007) were obtained for 17,729 New Brunswick...
