This paper investigates the interplay between structural and behavioral barriers that discourage pregnant women from accessing institutional care in Haiti, where despite some improvements in the past decades, maternal mortality remains a significant challenge. The analysis complements household survey data with data on service provision and qualitative data on beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes toward maternal health care. Using a mixed-methods approach, the paper confirms that transportation and poverty are important barriers that decrease the likelihood of attending maternal health care services. At the same time, the findings show that women suffer from optimism bias and are uncomfortable with the current model of received care. These barriers discourage women from seeking, reaching, and receiving maternal health care services at health institutions. Tackling structural barriers while finding ways to encourage women to shift their beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes are key recommendations to improve maternal health in Haiti.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the adult mortality situation in India. Each chapter ranges from general adult mortality patterns to its consequences in India. It discusses data-related challenges to studying adult mortality and examines the level, trends, and changing patterns, whether convergence or divergence of adult mortality across the regions from 1981 to 2015. Analyzing the mortality risk across different socioeconomic groups of the population in India, it examines the major underlying causes of adult death with a detailed analysis of external causes of death. The volume enhances the reader's understanding of adult health situations through the lenses of gender, caste, religion, rural-urban, economic status, and region of residence, and its severe consequences at the household level. It is a valuable addition to knowledge on demography, epidemiology, health economics, applied statistics, and public health studies worldwide. It is a must-reference work for Master's and Ph.D. scholars to explore India's and low- and middle-income countries' mortality situations.

Les principaux travaux de Louis-Adolphe Bertillon (1821-1883) visent à répondre à une seule question : « Pourquoi la mort prématurée rôde-t-elle ? » (Lucrèce). Pour identifier les morts évitables, ce médecin délaisse l'observation clinique et se fait statisticien : il cartographie la mortalité infantile, tente de mesurer âge par âge l'emprise de la variole, de la phtisie, des accidents, s'affirmant comme l'un des plus importants démographes du XIXe siècle. Grand animateur de sociétés savantes (Société d'anthropologie de Paris, Société de statistique de Paris, Société de sociologie), il a la charge des rubriques de statistique médicale du Dictionnaire de médecine et du Dictionnaire encyclopédique des sciences médicales, préside le Congrès mondial de démographie à Paris lors de l'Exposition universelle de 1878, et publie de nombreux articles dans les Annales de démographie internationale, première revue de démographie au monde. Républicain, opposé au Second Empire, distant du monde de la médecine, il est longtemps tenu à l'écart des institutions académiques. Nommé professeur de démographie à l'École d'anthropologie de Paris en 1876, il devient chef du service de statistique de la préfecture de la Seine en 1879. Son oeuvre majeure, la Démographie figurée de la France (1874), est un atlas centré sur l'étude de la mortalité. Elle innove par le primat accordé à l'expression graphique de sa pensée : des cartes et des diagrammes, faciles à lire, vont pouvoir toucher un large public. S'appuyant sur des archives en grande partie inédites, Alain Chenu présente ici, outre cet atlas, une vingtaine de textes qui, s'éclairant les uns les autres, permettent de prendre la mesure du rôle clé que Bertillon a joué dans l'émergence de la démographie moderne. --

Drawing together leading scholars of early modern memory studies and death studies, Memory and Mortality in Renaissance England explores and illuminates the interrelationships of these categories of Renaissance knowing and doing, theory and praxis. The collection features an extended Introduction that establishes the rich vein connecting these two fields of study and investigation. Thereafter, the collection is arranged into three subsections, 'The Arts of Remembering Death', 'Grounding the Remembrance of the Dead', and 'The Ends of Commemoration', where contributors analyse how memory and mortality intersected in writings, devotional practice, and visual culture. The book will appeal to scholars of early modern literature and culture, book history, art history, and the history of mnemonics and thanatology, and will prove an indispensable guide for researchers, instructors, and students alike.
