Mamá Empoderada: study protocol for a pilot trial of a novel parenting and mental health prevention intervention for migrant mothers with young children at the Mexico-US border by Gudelia Rangel, Shira M Goldenberg, Eileen Pitpitan, Kaylee Ramage, Ietza Bojorquez-Chapela, Cecilia Martinez-Torteya, Katherine Rosenblum, Chelsie Hernandez, Monica Alvarez

“…The aim of this study is to pilot-test a novel parenting and mental health prevention intervention for migrant mothers with young children (MMC) in Tijuana, Mexico, including (a) assessing acceptability; (b) estimating effect sizes on symptoms of depression, anxiety, and parenting stress; (c) identifying which theory-based mechanisms of action predict changes in outcomes; and (d) identifying factors associated with differential intervention response.Methods and analysis ‘Mamá Empoderada’ (Mom Power) is a theory-based, trauma-informed group intervention to promote mental health and responsive parenting among mothers with young children (0–5 years). …”

Les territoires de l’alcool à Tunis et à Casablanca sous la période des Protectorats (1912-1956) : Des destins parallèles ? by Nessim Znaien

“…At a more local level, administrative sources indicate that alcohol sales networks (cafes, bars, wine cellars) seemed to conform in both cities to strict discontinuity between the colonial city and the Medina - in theory, though not so much in practice.Finally, the frequency of measures taken on alcohol regulation was about the same in Tunisia and Morocco. …”
