The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.
J'éprouve une profonde tristesse en apprenant cette nouvelle. Ancien étudiant de maitrise en santé communautaire, j'ai eu la chance de côtoyer Marie, professeure passionnée et dévouée. Ces précieux conseils m’accompagnent encore régulièrement dans ma vie professionnelle. Toutes mes sympathies à la famille et aux proches.
Je suis profondément attristée par cette nouvelle. Marie était une collègue très appréciée et une mentor. Sa perte sera ressentie par notre communauté pour des années à venir.
