Afrique francophone : à quoi servent tous ces hôpitaux ?
En 1978, la conférence d’Alma-Ata rappelait les grandes priorités du siècle à venir pour les soins de santé primaires. Elle annonçait même :
« L’humanité tout entière pourra accéder à un niveau acceptable de santé en l’an 2000 si l’on utilise de façon plus complète et plus efficace les ressources mondiales dont une part considérable est actuellement dépensée en armements et en conflits armés. »
40 ans plus tard, ces objectifs ne sont toujours pas atteints. Or, parmi les éléments clés nécessitant d’être repensés pour que l’humanité « entière » accède à une santé « acceptable » il est important de porter aussi notre réflexion sur les soins de santé primaires et leur articulation avec l’ensemble du système de santé.

How the pain of 9/11 still stays with a generation
As an applied social psychologist, I study responses to natural and human-caused adversities that impact large segments of the population – also called “collective trauma.” My research group at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) has found that such exposures have compounding effects over the course of one’s lifespan. This is particularly relevant for children who have grown up in a post-9/11 society. More...

The IQ test wars: why screening for intelligence is still so controversial
These are questions from online Intelligence Quotient or IQ tests. Tests that purport to measure your intelligence can be verbal, meaning written, or non-verbal, focusing on abstract reasoning independent of reading and writing skills. First created more than a century ago, the tests are still widely used today to measure an individual’s mental agility and ability. More...

Teenagers are vulnerable too – how social workers are trying new ways to keep them safe
Over the past four decades the child protection system in England has increasingly concentrated on preventing the abuse and neglect of young children in their homes. In response to multiple government inquiries, such as those following the killing of eight-year-old Victoria Climbié and 17-month-old, Peter Connelly (known as “Baby P”), the focus has been to reduce risk and prevent the abuse and neglect of young children by those looking after them. More...
