title: Young men and abortion: the male perspective on unplanned pregnancies

description: This is a social-anthropological study that situates abortion as an event inscribed within the broader framework of heterosexual sexuality, gender relationships, contraceptive and reproductive control. Its objective was to reveal the network of social relationships that engender negotiation and decision-making processes surrounding the interruption of unplanned pregnancies and the manners of carrying out abortions based on narratives on the affective-sexual, contraceptive and reproductive trajectories of women and men from different social classes and generations. The focus of this article is young men’s position in the face of pregnancy and abortion. We adopt a relational gender perspective in order to analyze the phenomenon. The empirical material comprises 13 in-depth interviews with lower- and middle-class men aged between 18 and 27 years living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The complexity of the power relations established between the couple, their family members and friends engenders different possible outcomes with regard to male participation in the event: after-the-fact awareness of the abortion, due to not having been consulted; consensual participation in pregnancy and abortion-related decision-making; disagreement between the couple, with the woman’s decision prevailing over the man’s objections; the woman’s decision being coerced by her partner. Male participation in the sphere of reproduction and abortion is a gap in the scientific literature that must be confronted. To take on the tension that abortion creates between genders, between female reproductive autonomy and male responsibility, is a central task for those who research the subject in the social sciences and health fields.

title: Prevalence of induced abortion and associated factors in a cohort of women living with HIV/AIDS, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1996-2016

description: The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of induced abortion and associated factors at the time of inclusion in a cohort of women living with HIV/AIDS in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 1996 to 2016. Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the cohort were female sex at birth, age 18 years and older, and confirmed HIV infection. At the baseline visit, data on sexual, reproductive, and behavioral aspects and HIV infection were obtained through a face-to-face interview with the attending physician. Lifetime prevalence of induced abortion was calculated, and factors associated with induced abortion were verified by multiple logistic regression for all the women and for those with previous pregnancy. In the entire cohort of women, 30.4% reported a history of induced abortion, compared to 33.5% in women with previous pregnancy. Frequency of reported induced abortion showed a significant reduction during the period (41.7% in 1996-2000 versus 22.5% in 2011-2016, p &lt; 0.001). Factors associated with induced abortion, both for the entire cohort and for the women with previous pregnancy, were age, schooling, ≥ 5 lifetime sexual partners, teenage pregnancy, lifetime use of any illicit drug, and inclusion in the cohort after the year 2005. Changes in the socioeconomic, sexual, reproductive, and HIV infection profile are possible explanations for the reduction in abortions during the period. Studies that use direct methods to measure abortion should be conducted in other populations to confirm the downward trend in induced abortion and its determinants in Brazil.

title: Itineraries of solitude: clandestine abortion among adolescents in a favela in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone, Brazil

description: Abstract: This article presents the results of a qualitative study based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with ten adolescents, aged between 15 and 17 years, who live in a favela in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and who had experienced an illegal abortion between the ages of 12 and 17. We sought to examine more effectively the issue of abortion in adolescence and the strategies employed by adolescents in order to have an abortion within an illegal context. We unveiled the methods that were used, the locations where abortions took place and the manner in which the process of having an abortion happened. The abortions took place at clandestine clinics; at the apartment of a partner’s friend; and using the medication “Cytotec” (misoprostol). The values paid for the abortion ranged between BRL 500.00 and BRL 2,500.00 and all took place without the knowledge or participation of the adolescents’ legal guardians. One adolescent had to seek out a health service due to complications from the abortion. Informants relied on friends and/or partners and almost all were alone when they had their abortions, which should motivate a reflection regarding the risks taken and the solitude experienced by these adolescents in order to undergo an unsafe and illegal act. We conclude that the study of abortion at this life stage makes an important contribution to understanding sexuality and reproduction in adolescence.

title: Mediation role of residential density on the association between perceived environmental factors and active commuting to school in Brazilian adolescents

description: Abstract: The objective of this study was to verify whether residential density and connectivity between streets are mediators on the association between perceived environmental factors and active commuting to school (ACS) in Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,130 adolescents (52.7% girls) aged between 14 to 20 years, from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Adolescents’ self-reported their usual mode of commuting to and from school using a questionnaire and the perceived environmental attributes by Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth (NEWS-Y). Residential density and connectivity between streets were measured by gographic information systems (GIS), within 1km road network buffers around the participant’s residential address. Regression models were fitted according to mediation analyses procedures. The results showed that residential density is a mediator on the association between ACS and perceived environmental factors, including land-use mix diversity (IE = 0.114; 95%CI: 0.130, 0.311; 32% mediation), neighborhood recreation facilities (IE = 0.064; 95%CI: 0.034, 0.105; 15% mediation), and access to services (IE = 0.045; 95%CI: 0.006, 0.104; 14% mediation). Connectivity between streets did not correlate with ACS, thus it was not tested in the mediation model. In conclusion, residential density is a mediator on the relationship between perceived environmental factors and ACS.

title: Assessment of the municipal administration in the promotion of rational use of medicines in medium and large cities in Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: Abstract: This article aimed to assess the municipal administration in the promotion of rational use of medicines in cities with 100,000 inhabitants or more in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The study began with the adaptation of an assessment model consisting of 28 indicators, analyzing the development of activities in promotion of rational use of medicines through the educational, structural, administrative, and operational dimensions of pharmaceutical care. Data collection used an online questionnaire, tested and validated, through a virtual platform, sending a link to the respondent’s e-mail address. The value judgment considered the predefined categories in the judgment matrix, oriented by normative parameters, a literature review, and inter-expert agreements. Of the 11 municipalities assessed, four were classified as “fair” and the other as “bad”, presenting deficiencies in the four analytical dimensions. The best result was seen in the administrative dimension. A critical scenario appeared in promotion of rational use of medicines, highlighting deficiencies in training health workers, inadequate infrastructure, shortage of human resources, flaws in patient safety management, and difficulties in the execution of pharmaceutical care. In conclusion, important challenges need to be overcome to guarantee appropriate drug prescriptions, timely access, adequate drug dispensing, and correct use of medication by the population.

title: Uncontrolled asthma in children and adolescents exposed to pesticides in an area of intense agribusiness activity

description: Abstract: The study aimed to analyze factors associated with uncontrolled asthma in schoolchildren exposed to pesticides in a medium-sized municipality in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. This was a case-control study of children 6 to 7 and 13 to 14 years old in Primavera do Leste, in 2016. Cases were defined as schoolchildren that met the criteria for uncontrolled asthma based on International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questions, and controls were selected from the same schools as the cases, after randomization, at a 1:1 ratio. Data collection used the questionnaires from Phases I and II of ISAAC and an additional questionnaire on pesticide exposure. Descriptive, bivariate, and logistic da e regression analyses were performed with the individual and environmental sociodemographic, and economic variables. 319 cases and 319 controls were selected, totaling 638 participants in the study. In the final da logistic model, the variables family income greater than 4 minimum wages (OR = 14.36; 95%CI: 8.89-23.20), maternal schooling up to incomplete secondary (OR = 16.32; 95%CI: 8.96-29.75), prematurity (OR = 13.25; 95%CI: 4.83-36.41), and low birthweight (OR = 17.08; 95%CI: 5.52-52.90) remained associated with uncontrolled asthma. Of the pesticide exposure variables, presence of household member working in agriculture (OR = 5.91; 95%CI: 2.11-16.53), living near farming activities (OR = 3.98; 95%CI: 1.47-11.76), and spraying areas near the household (OR = 4.20; 95%CI: 1.49-11.87) were related to the outcome. In this study, pesticides and sociodemographic, neonatal, and childhood conditions proved related to uncontrolled asthma in schoolchildren.

title: Community food environment and presence of food swamps around schools in a Brazilian metropolis

description: The study aimed to assess the community food environment and the existence of food swamps around schools in a Brazilian metropolis. This was an ecological study in public and private schools in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, with a 250-meter buffer as the analytical unit. The study included all preschool, elementary, and middle schools. In relation to the schools, the study evaluated administrative regimen (public versus private), type of teaching, and per capita income in the schools’ census tracts. Information was also compiled on the retail food establishments inside the buffer zone around the schools. The food environment was characterized only according to the establishments around the schools that sold food for immediate consumption. Analysis of the buffers revealed that 97.4% of the schools had at least one establishment in the vicinity that sold food for immediate consumption. The most available establishments around schools were snack bars, restaurants, and bars. Schools located in higher-income census tracts showed higher mean numbers of all establishments in their vicinity, except for grocery stores and supermarkets. In addition, 54.6% of the schools were in neighborhoods classified as food swamps. The results that the among the target categories, there was a predominance of establishments that mainly sell ultra-processed foods such as bars and snack bars in the vicinity of schools in Belo Horizonte, which exposes children and adolescents to an unhealthy food environment.
