Health outcomes of Anglophones after pregnancy: Differences in access compared with Francophones in Québec

In Québec, Anglophone women face higher rates of pregnancy complications (e.g., preterm birth, stillbirth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes), which are linked to long-term risks such as mental illness and type 2 diabetes.

Using a longitudinal cohort of all pregnancies in Québec (2006–2022), this study examines whether Anglophone women have a higher risk of hospitalization for mental illness and type 2 diabetes up to 17 years postpartum, compared to Francophones. It also assesses how factors like socioeconomic status and education influence these risks.

The goal is to better understand long-term health disparities and identify groups who may benefit from improved access to care.
