[Preventing child abuse risk factors: A study of the ease of French professionals working in early prevention].

Research on child abuse prevention has been limited for the last forty years to the experimental field. While we know how home visiting interventions can help limit situations of child abuse, we do not know how these results can be replicated in routine care situations. The objective of this study was to identify, in French public services, how prevention professionals approach child abuse risk factors with families, and with what degree of ease.

Decreasing use of autopsy for stillbirths and infant deaths: missed opportunity.

Objective: We assessed whether the tendency towards decreasing use of fetal and infant autopsy was associated with a greater proportion of deaths in which the cause is never found.

Study Design: We computed autopsy rates over time for 13,466 stillbirths and 16,880 infant deaths in Quebec, Canada, 1981-2015. We assessed the proportion of deaths with an undetermined cause and determined the relationship with non-autopsy over time.

Impacts of online and group perinatal education: a mixed methods study protocol for the optimization of perinatal health services.

Background: Prenatal education is a core component of perinatal care and services provided by health institutions. Whereas group prenatal education is the most common educational model, some health institutions have opted to implement online prenatal education to address accessibility issues as well as the evolving needs of future parents. Various studies have shown that prenatal education can be effective in acquisition of knowledge on labour and delivery, reducing psychological distress and maximising father's involvement.
