Factors determining first influenza vaccination among individuals with type 2 diabetes in the CONSTANCES cohort by age group (younger than 65 years or 65 and older).

Vaccine coverage against influenza is suboptimal among people with diabetes. Our principal objective was to study and compare the factors related to a first influenza vaccination in individuals with type 2 diabetes according to age group (<65 years and ≥ 65 years) and then to compare the older age group with diabetes to the general population of that age. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study within the French Constances cohort.

Socio-spatial inequalities in presence of primary care physicians and patients' ability to register: A simulated-patient survey in the Paris Region.

Objectives: We studied the socio-spatial inequalities of three types of general practitioner (GP) density in the Paris metropolitan area: the density of GPs present (that is, practising) in the census block and of those registering new patients for office visits and, separately, for house calls.

Study Design: An exhaustive simulated patient survey enabled us to determine the number of GPs practising in the Paris metropolitan region accepting new patient registration for continuing care at their office and/or for house calls.

Methods: We measured at the level of a census block three types of GP densities: density of GPs present, density of GPs registering new patients at their office and density of GP registering new patients for house calls.

Depressive symptomatology from a network perspective: Differences in the experience of symptoms involved in the self-recognition of depression and the diagnosis process by social position.

Background: While social disparities in depression are well-documented, the symptom experience across social positions remains less studied.

Aims: This study examines the connections between depressive symptoms and self-recognizing a depressive episode, on the one hand, and clinical diagnosis, on the other hand, by three social position indicators.

Methods: We analyzed baseline data from a population-based cohort of adults living in France, grouping participants by three indicators: education, financial difficulties, and occupation, and stratifying by sex.

How do men and women differ in their depressive symptomatology? A gendered network analysis of depressive symptoms in a French population-based cohort.

Background: The experience of depressive manifestations and the presentation of symptoms in clinical settings may differ in men and women. Despite the extensive literature, it remains unclear how depressive manifestations interact at symptom levels in men and women. First, we aimed to describe and compare depressive networks by sex.
