Le GRELL (groupe des registres et épidémiologiste de langue latine) organise le 4 mai 2016 à Albi une journée sur les inégalités sociales de santé dans le cadre de ses rencontres annuelles (4 au 6 mai 2016). Cette journée est accessible aux chercheurs du GSO indépendamment des journées annuelles. L’inscription devra se faire via le formulaire dédié.
Cadre scientifique de la journée du 4 mai (site du GRELL) :
Social inequalities in health exist among most pathologies and specifically in the case of cancers. Social inequalities are produced and worsen throughout the disease process. Differential exposure to risk factors lead to a higher incidence of poor cancer prognosis in the most disadvantaged groups of the population. Lack of awareness about the healthcare system, different perceptions and representations of health and communication difficulties lead to sub-optimal use of healthcare provision which is reflected both by late diagnosis and poorly adapted support.
Population based registries, by their vocation to identify all cancer cases occurring in the population, are fundamental tools to studying social inequalities in health in the field of cancer. Through their approach centered on patients rather than on care, they allow healthcare institutions to take into account patients who tend to remain in the margins of the healthcare system.
For several years the population registers have therefore initiated studies in this area. These studies are distinctive in their use of ecological indicators of disadvantage to define the socio economic status of patients. This approach opens up important perspectives but also imposes constraints both in terms of implementation and interpretation.
This seminar aims to address these problems and to take stock of the current state of analysis and methodological questions.
