La TournĂ©e de ForĂȘt MĂ©diterranĂ©enne au Portugal (12 au 16 mai 2015)
En 2015, lâassociation a organisĂ© sa tournĂ©e annuelle au sud du Portugal, dans la rĂ©gion de lâAlentejo. Cette visite a permis Ă la vingtaine de participants dâaborder la problĂ©matique des milieux arides et de prendre contact avec un mode particulier dâoccupation et de gestion du territoire : le montado. Ils ont aussi traversĂ© des peuplements proches de nos collines, des milieux plus arides que ce que lâon voit gĂ©nĂ©ralement au cours de nos tournĂ©es, et qui nĂ©cessitent une approche particuliĂšre

La tournĂ©e en Corse de ForĂȘt MĂ©diterranĂ©enne, du 20 au 24 mai 2009 -
Dans la cadre de la prĂ©paration des journĂ©es "Energie - ForĂȘt - Territoires", ForĂȘt MĂ©diterranĂ©enne a organisĂ© en 2001 une rencontre en Corse, afin d'une part de mieux connaĂźtre la filiĂšre bois Ă©nergie corse et, d'autre part, de faire partager ses propres travaux sur le bois Ă©nergie Ă ses partenaires de l'Ile de BeautĂ©. Le sĂ©minaire de Corte a aussi Ă©tĂ© l'occasion, pour certains, de poursuivre par la tournĂ©e forestiĂšre annuelle de l'association, dont cet article rend compt

Health- and oral health-related quality of life among preschool children with cerebral palsy
Objectives: To assess the health- and oral health-related quality of life of preschool children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to determine their inter-relationship between the two quality of life measures. Methods: A total of 144 preschool children with and without CP were invited to participate in the case-control study. Health-related quality of life was assessed by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 (PedsQL⹠4.0) and oral health-related quality of life by the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS). Differences in PedsQL⹠4.0 and ECOHIS scores were determined between the groups, and correlation between PedsQL and ECOHIS were explored. Results: Significant differences in overall scores of PedsQL⹠4.0 (P < 0.001) and in overall scores of ECOHIS (P < 0.05) were apparent between the two groups. In terms of health- and oral health-related quality of life, preschool children with CP fared worse than the age-gender-matched control group. There was a positive albeit weak correlation (r = 0.203, P < 0.05) between PedsQL⹠4.0 and ECOHIS scores. Conclusions: Differences in health- and oral health-related quality of life exist among preschool children with CP. Correlation between health- and oral health-related quality of life could at best be described as weak. © 2010 The Author(s).published_or_final_versionSpringer Open Choice, 21 Feb 201
Study protocol: SPARCLE â a multi-centre European study of the relationship of environment to participation and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy
BACKGROUND: SPARCLE is a nine-centre European epidemiological research study examining the relationship of participation and quality of life to impairment and environment (physical, social and attitudinal) in 8â12 year old children with cerebral palsy. Concepts are adopted from the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health which bridges the medical and social models of disability. METHODS/DESIGN: A cross sectional study of children with cerebral palsy sampled from total population databases in 9 European regions. Children were visited by research associates in each country who had been trained together. The main instruments used were KIDSCREEN, Life-H, Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire, Parenting Stress Index. A measure of environment was developed within the study. All instruments were translated according to international guidelines. The potential for bias due to non response and missing data will be examined. After initial analysis using multivariate regression of how the data captured by each instrument relate to impairment and socio-economic characteristics, relationships between the latent traits captured by the instruments will then be analysed using structural equation modelling. DISCUSSION: This study is original in its methods by directly engaging children themselves, ensuring those with learning or communication difficulty are not excluded, and by studying in quantitative terms the crucial outcomes of participation and quality of life. Specification and publication of this protocol prior to analysis, which is not common in epidemiology but well established for randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews, should avoid the pitfalls of data dredging and post hoc analyses
