Item À bout de bras(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 1990) Stanley, B.Item À la recherche d'une nouvelle pompe à bras(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 1977) Henry, D.Item À la recherche de pistes pour améliorer les conditions des jeunes migrantes en centre urbain : rapport de recherche(Centre d'appui à la recherche et à la formation CAREF, 2010) Konaté, Mamadou Kani; De Koninck, Maria; Yaro, YacoubaLes petites filles migrantes dans les grandes villes de l’Afrique de l’Ouest constituent une population particulièrement exposée à des risques pour leur développement et leur santé. Des recherches ont déjà permis de connaître certaines de leurs motivations et des conditions dans lesquelles elles travaillent en ville. Afin d’améliorer la compréhension du phénomène dans une perspective d’intervention visant à réduire les risques et améliorer leurs conditions, une recherche a été menée au Mali et au Burkina Faso. Des jeunes migrantes ont été rencontrées à Bamako et à Ouagadougou. Des jeunes en âges de migrer l’ont été également dans des zones de départ. L’enquête a également permis de rencontrer des adultes dans ces mêmes zones. Les résultats confirment ce qui a déjà été documenté. C’est la pauvreté qui conduit les petites filles vers la ville. Elles y vont pour se préparer un meilleur avenir et pas nécessairement pour rester en ville puisque plusieurs souhaitent revenir au village. Elles y vont aussi pour soulager la misère de leur famille. Mais la ville ne leur offre que peu de possibilités d’acquérir des habiletés ou des savoirs qui leur permettraient de s’inscrire dans un cheminement d’amélioration de leurs conditions qui serait durable. De plus elles y souvent exploitées et encourent des risques, entre autres, parce qu’elles ne sont pas informées et ignorent comment se protéger. Des actions sont possibles et pourraient être mises en place afin d’améliorer la situation de ces jeunes. Quelques pistes sont ici suggérées selon une perspective de développement des communautés et de développement durable.Item Acceptance of auxiliary health workers in rural Iran(1977) Zeighami, B.; Zeighami, E.; Ronaghy, H.A.; Russell, S.S.Article on the acceptance of auxiliary health workers in Iran.

Bibliography.Item Access as a policy-relevant concept in low- and middle-income countries(2009) McIntyre, D; Thiede, M; Birch, SAlthough access to health care is frequently identified as a goal for health care policy, the precise meaning of access to health care often remains unclear. We present a conceptual framework that defines access to health care as the empowerment of an individual to use health care and as a multidimensional concept based on the interaction (or degree of fit) between health care systems and individuals, households, and communities. Three dimensions of access are identified: availability, affordability, and acceptability, through which access can be evaluated directly instead of focusing on utilisation of care as a proxy for access. We present the case for the comprehensive evaluation of health care systems as well as the dimensions of access, and the factors underlying each dimension. Such systemic analyses can inform policy-makers about the ‘fit’ between needs for health care and receipt of care, and provide the basis for developing policies that promote improvements in the empowerment to use care.Item Access to health care services - an English policy perspective(2009) Goddard, MInternational trends highlight the confluence of economics, politics and legal considerations in the health policy process. Health Economics, Policy and Law serves as a forum for scholarship on health policy issues from these perspectives, and is of use to academics, policy makers and health care managers and professionals. HEPL is international in scope, publishes both theoretical and applied work, and contains articles on all aspects of health policy. Considerable emphasis is placed on rigorous conceptual development and analysis, and on the presentation of empirical evidence that is relevant to the policy process.Item Acciones de prensa temas : obesidad infantil y publicidad de alimentos; del 01/09/2015 al 22/04/2016(Fundación InterAmericana del Corazón (FIC Argentina), Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2016) Fundación InterAmericana del Corazón (FIC Argentina)Item Accords commerciaux et d'investissement : des obstacles aux mesures nationales de santé publique et de lutte contre le tabagisme(Centre Sud, Genève, CH, 2012-11) Correa, Carlos; Syam, Nirmalya; Velásquez, GermánItem Aceite en el agua : contaminación por palma de aceite en Malasia(CIID, Ottawa, ON, CA, 1983) Shirkie, R.; Ching Ji, S.Item Achieving Universal Health Coverage: State of Community Empowerment in Bangladesh(2012) Joarder, T; Uddin, A; Islam, AItem Action 21 dans les communautés locales(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 1996) MacLeod, KirsteenItem Action latrines en milieux scolaire et villageois : étude de cas(Mali.

Together, they surveyed 150 domestic workers and produced a report that generated interest from community groups, policy-makers, and the media. In this article, we—the university researchers—offer a case study of community-university action research. We share the story of how one project contributed to academic knowledge of domestic workers' health and safety experiences and also to a related policy campaign. We describe how Quebec workers' compensation legislation excludes domestic workers, and we analyze the occupational health literature related to domestic work. Striking data related to workplace accidents and illnesses emerged from the survey, and interesting lessons were learned about how occupational health questions should be posed. We conclude with a description of the successful policy advocacy that was possible as an outcome of this project.Item Action research on water management in Lower Tandava River Basin, Visakhapatnam Dist.
