Invisibilização e preconceitos velados: barreiras para o acesso aos serviços de atenção básica pela população trans / Invisibilization and veiled prejudices: barriers to access to primary care services for the transgender population / Invisibilización y prejuicios velados: barreras para el acceso de la población trans a los servicios de atención primaria

Introdução: No processo de edificação da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral LGBT+, a Atenção Básica ganha importante destaque, pois deveria funcionar como o contato preferencial dos usuários transgênero (trans). Objetivo: Investigar quais as percepções dos profissionais da Atenção Básica quanto às situações de vulnerabilidade enfrentadas pelas pessoas trans, bem como pesquisar os impedimentos que eles consideram existir na busca dessa população por acesso a esses serviços. Métodos: Utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 38 profissionais de saúde atuantes das Estratégias Saúde da Família de dois municípios do interior do estado de São Paulo. O material obtido foi submetido à análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: Os resultados apontaram para o desconhecimento quanto aos reais empecilhos que dificultam o acesso e seguimento de pessoas trans nos serviços de saúde. Observou-se ainda a manutenção de preconceitos e ideias que reforçam estereótipos ligados ao tema e que se estendem ao exercício da profissão. Isso se relaciona diretamente com a falta da abordagem de assuntos relacionados à sexualidade humana na graduação desses profissionais, além da falta de atualização quanto ao tema, o que impacta a qualidade do serviço que é ofertado à população em estudo. Conclusões: As normativas e portarias já existentes precisam ser efetivamente postas em prática, fazendo-se imperativas a ampliação e difusão do conhecimento a respeito da temática trans no contexto dos serviços públicos de saúde, o que pode servir como base para subsidiar a formação dos profissionais que atuam nesse setor, bem como políticas públicas efetivas.

Introduction: In the process of creating the National LGBT+ Comprehensive Health Policy, primary care has important prominence as it must work as the preferential contact of transgender (trans) users. Objective: To investigate the perceptions of primary care professionals about the vulnerability situations faced by trans persons and also hindrances they consider existing in this population's search for access to these services. Methods: A qualitative approach was used through semi-structured interviews with 38 health care professionals working in the Family Health Strategy of two cities in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. The material obtained was submitted to analysis of Bardin content. Results: The results pointed to a lack of knowledge about real hindrances that obstruct the access to and follow-up by health services for trans persons. It was also observed the maintenance of prejudices and ideas that reinforce stereotypes connected to the matter and extend to the practice of professionals. It is directly related to the lack of approach of issues related to human sexuality in the education of those professionals, in addition to lack of update about it, which impacts the quality of service offered to the population under study. Conclusions: The standards and ordinances already existing need to be effectively practiced, being crucial the extension and spread of knowledge about trans matters in the context of public health services. It can be the basis for subsidizing the education of professionals who work in this field, as well as effective public policies.

Efficiency, planning and good management, determining factors for a greater equity on health care expenses: the experience from the program family health strategy in Brazil

The present work presents as a research problem the importance of efficiency, planning, and principles of good management aiming at capillarity and equity to generate greater access and quality of services. The objective of this article was to identify the expansion of the Family Health Strategy in Brazil between 2007 and 2020, and which variables may explain this evolution. This is a descriptive, ecological research, developed between 2007 and 2020 in Brazil; its variable of interest was the estimated population coverage of this strategy (%). An increase in the coverage of the Family Health Strategy was observed in all regions of Brazil between 2007 and 2020, especially in the Northeast region. At the state level, this coverage showed a significant positive relationship with the following variables: towns with fewer than 40,000 inhabitants and monthly income inferior to half a minimum salary. The Brazilian version of the Family Health Strategy seeks inspiration from the best and most successful health models to achieve high performance and efficiency to provide equity and access to health services.

Study of the Impact of Restrictions on Access to Biological Drugs for the Management of Psoriasis on the Minimum Disease Activity Criteria: Subanalysis of AEDV EQUIDAD and AME Projects. / Estudio del impacto de las restricciones en el acceso a fármacos biológicos en psoriasis sobre la actividad mínima de la enfermedad: subanálisis de los proyectos EQUIDAD y AME de la AEDV.

Spanish Autonomous Communities (ACs) are entitled to decide on the prescription requirements of their own territories, which can create inequalities in access to new drugs in the management of psoriasis. The objective of this study was to assess whether the level of restrictions in the access to new drugs for the management psoriasis was associated with the probability of achieving disease control measured using the Minimum Disease Activity (MDA) criteria. Therefore, we combined the results of 2 previous independent, cross-sectional studies: one that described the MDA in psoriasis by AC, and another that evaluated the level of restrictions to drug access by AC. We found that the higher the number of restrictions the lower the chances of achieving the MDA criteria (P=.013). Our results suggest that, in Spain, geographical differences in the access to new drugs may be creating health inequalities across the country.

Gender trends at the annual Spanish Urologic Association (AEU) meeting: A review of AEU programmes over a 10-year period (2012-2022).

INTRODUCTION: Gender equity in urological meetings is pivotal for fostering diversity and inclusivity in the field. This study aims to evaluate the representation of Spanish urologist and regional disparities, and to assess its alignment with the demographic composition of the urological community. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All urology meetings organized by the AEU between January 2012 and December 2022 were reviewed, including meeting information and details of the faculty. Additionally, we analysed geographic distribution of speakers across 17 different regions. Gender demographics were obtained disaggregating data by sex and year from the Organización Médica Colegial de España (OMC) and from those urologists affiliated to the AEU. RESULTS: Analysing 52 AEU congresses held from 2012 to 2022, encompassing 3,407 speakers, the study found that 95.25% of speakers were from Spain and 89.6% were male speakers. Over the years, there was a positive trend in female speaker representation, increasing by 1.1% annually, slightly lagging the 1.8% annual rise in the number of female urologists in Spain. In specific subfields like functional, transplantation, and oncology sessions, the study revealed a higher representation of women, indicating focused efforts in these areas. Geographically, Madrid, Catalonia and Andalusia exhibited the highest representation. CONCLUSIONS: Although there was a positive trend towards an increased participation of female urologists in Spanish urological meetings, it fails to accurately reflect the proportional increase in the number of women entering the urology profession in recent years. This study underscores the importance of ongoing efforts to ensure diverse and balanced representation in urological forum.

Female authorship positions in health economic evaluations: a cross-sectional analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the gender of the authors who publish articles of health economic evaluations in medicine and healthcare journals. METHOD: We evaluated a random sample of economic evaluations indexed in MEDLINE during 2019. Gender of the first, last and corresponding author was determined by review of the author's first name. Data were summarized as frequency and percentage for categorical items and median and interquartile range (IQR) for continuous items. We also calculated the index of authors per paper. RESULTS: We included 200 studies with 1365 authors (median of 6 authors per paper; IQR: 4-9). Gender identification was possible for all authors in the study sample: 802 (59%) were men and 563 (41%) were women. The number of female first, last, and corresponding authors respectively were 78 (39%), 68 (34%), and 80 (40%) for health economic evaluations. DISCUSSION: Female scientists were underrepresented as co-authors and in prominent authorship positions in health economic evaluations. This study serves as a call to action for the scientific community to actively work towards equity and inclusion.

Advancing Inclusive Biodiversity Research: Strategies for Equitable Practices and Collective Impact / Promoción de la investigación inclusiva sobre la biodiversidad: estrategias para prácticas equitativas e impacto colectivo

Biodiversity research is essential for addressing the global biodiversity crisis, necessitating diverse participation and perspectives. However, the field currently faces a significant inclusivity problem as local expertise from biodiversity-rich but economically disadvantaged regions is often underrepresented. The underrepresentation of local experts is driven by four main challenges: linguistic bias, undervalued contributions, parachute science practices, and capacity constraints. While fragmented solutions exist, a unified multi-stakeholder approach is necessary to address these interconnected and systemic issues. Here, we introduce a holistic framework of collective responsibility, integrating tailored strategies that embrace diversity and dismantle systemic barriers for equitable collaboration. This framework delineates the diverse actors and practices required for promoting inclusivity in biodiversity research, assigning clear responsibilities to researchers, publishers, institutions, and funding bodies. Strategies for researchers include cultivating self-awareness, expanding literature searches, fostering partnerships with local experts, and promoting knowledge exchange. For institutions, we recommend establishing specialized liaison roles, implementing equitable policies, allocating resources for diversity initiatives, and enhancing support for international researchers. Publishers can facilitate multilingual dissemination, remove financial barriers, establish inclusivity standards, and ensure equitable representation in peer review. Funders should remove systemic barriers, strengthen research networks, and prioritize equitable resource allocation. Implementing these stakeholder-specific strategies can help dismantle deep-rooted biases and structural inequities in biodiversity research, catalyzing a shift towards a more inclusive and representative model that amplifies diverse perspectives and maximizes collective knowledge for effective global conservation.

La investigación sobre la biodiversidad es esencial para hacer frente a la crisis mundial de la biodiversidad, lo cual requiere una participación y perspectivas diversas. Sin embargo, el estudio de la biodiversidad se enfrenta actualmente a un importante problema de inclusión, ya que los conocimientos locales de regiones altamente biodiversas, aunque económicamente desfavorecidas, suelen tener menor representación. La escasa representación de los expertos locales se debe a cuatro retos principales: el sesgo lingüístico, la subestimación de contribuciones, las prácticas científicas de paracaídas y las limitaciones de capacidad. Si bien existen soluciones fragmentadas, es necesario un enfoque unificado de múltiples partes interesadas para abordar estos problemas interconectados y sistémicos. Aquí, presentamos un marco holístico de responsabilidad colectiva, integrando estrategias personalizadas que abrazan la diversidad y desmantelan las barreras sistémicas para una colaboración equitativa. Este marco delinea los diversos actores y prácticas necesarias para promover la inclusión en la investigación sobre biodiversidad, asignando responsabilidades claras a investigadores, editores, instituciones y organismos de financiación. Las estrategias para los investigadores incluyen cultivar la autoconciencia, la ampliación de las búsquedas bibliográficas, el fomento de asociaciones con expertos locales y la promoción del intercambio de conocimientos. En el caso de las instituciones, recomendamos establecer funciones de colaboración especializadas, implementar políticas equitativas, asignar recursos para iniciativas de diversidad y mejorar el apoyo a los investigadores internacionales. Los editores pueden facilitar la difusión multilingüe, eliminar las barreras financieras, establecer normas de inclusión y garantizar una representación equitativa en la revisión por pares. Los financiadores deben eliminar las barreras sistémicas, fortalecer las redes de investigación y priorizar la asignación equitativa de recursos. La implementación de estas estrategias específicas para las partes interesadas puede ayudar a desmantelar los sesgos profundamente arraigados y las desigualdades estructurales en la investigación sobre biodiversidad, catalizando un cambio hacia un modelo más inclusivo y representativo que amplifique las diversas perspectivas y maximice el conocimiento colectivo para una conservación global efectiva.

Women in Radiology: A perspective from Spain.

INTRODUCTION: There are gender inequalities in all fields, including radiology. Although the situation is improving, the presence of radiologists in leadership positions continues to be a minority. The objective of this article is to analyse the situation of women in the spanish radiology, comparing it with Europe and the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected the years 2000-2022 as reference period to make a comparison with feminization data throughout history. In addition, relevant specific data from the just begun 2023 were also included. The variables in which we investigated feminization were the following: medical students, medical graduates, radiology residents and specialists, section chiefs, department chairs, radiology residency programme directors, radiology university professors, presidents of the main radiological entities and societies in Spain, Europe and the United States, recipients of the main awards given by these radiological societies and chief editors of their journals. In order to perform this analysis we conducted an in-depth bibliographic research, we contacted the radiological societies of Spain, Europe and the USA and we carried out a survey in the main Spanish radiology departments. RESULTS: The female presence in radiology decreases as we rise to leadership positions, a situation that is patent in Spain, Europe and the US, comparison that will be analysed in depth throughout the article. In Spanish hospitals in 2021 there were 58.1% female radiology residents, 55% female radiologists, 42.9% female section chiefs and 24.4% female department chairs. In SERAM's history there have been 10% female presidents, 22% female gold medallists and 5% female editors-in-chief. If we analyse data from 2000 to 2023, female presidents reach 32% and female gold medallists 31%. CONCLUSIONS: Although gender inequality is declining, in radiology women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions. Work must be done in order to build a diverse and inclusive profession that reflects demographic reality.

Informação na judicialização da saúde: o protótipo JUDJe / Information in the judicialization of health: the JUDJe prototype / Información en la judicialización de la salud: el prototipo JUDJe

O fenômeno da judicialização da saúde carece de dados organizados e comparáveis entre estudos sobre o tema. Diversas fontes, recortes prévios e intermediários geram resultados conflitantes e de difícil repro-dução. Esta nota argumenta a necessidade de definir um padrão/elemento comum nos processos judiciais em saúde, propondo o sistema JUDJe, que utiliza o Diário de Justiça Eletrônico para extrair, organizar e classificar esses dados. O JUDJe gerou um banco de dados aberto com 100 mil movimentações processuais sobre casos de câncer. Defende mais qualidade e conexão dos dados, e mais acesso a esses últimos, pro-movendo equidade e visão multidimensional. Propõe a "judicialização 2.0" com dados em rede conectando saúde e direito.

The phenomenon of health judicialisation lacks organised and comparable data between studies on the subject. Different sources, previous and intermediate pieces of information generate conflicting results that are difficult to reproduce. This note argues the need to define a common standard/element in health lawsuits and proposes the JUDJe system, using the online Official Gazette to extract, organize and classify such data. JUDJe generated an open geo-referenced database with 100 thousand legal proceedings on cancer cases. It advocates more quality and connection of data, and more access to them, promoting equity and a multidimensional vision. It proposes a "judicialization 2.0" connecting the health and law domains.

[Incremental impact of population dispersion on health personnel resources in Primary Care]. / Impacto incremental de la dispersión poblacional sobre los recursos de personal sanitario en Atención Primaria.

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the incremental impact that population dispersion has on the number of health personnel in Primary Care in Alto Aragón, using a reproducible method. METHOD: Descriptive observational study that compares health the number of health personnel (family medicine, pediatrics and nursing) in EAP and PA emergencies in 2019 in an unpopulated and dispersed territory such as Huesca, with the number that would correspond to it by applying population ratios per professional of hypothetical constructs with different population densities. RESULTS: Huesca, with respect to the national average, has 39% more PA health personnel. There are 239 additional professionals (112 in family medicine, 2 in pediatrics and 115 in nursing), 130 in emergencies and 109 in EAP. With the average of the five most densely populated provinces, it would reduce this staff by 49%, and with the average of the five least densely populated provinces, it would increase it by 12%. CONCLUSIONS: There is a relationship between low population density and a greater number of family medicine and PC nurses, but not with pediatrics. The powerful incremental effect that dispersion has on health care spending gives it a relevant role in the regional financing system. Comparing PC health personnel in scenarios with different population density is a useful method for quantifying the impact of dispersion.

Condicionantes de acceso a nuevos medicamentos dermatológicos en España: resultados del proyecto EQUIDAD / Requirements for Accessing New Dermatology Drugs in Spain: Results of the EQUIDAD Study

Antecedentes: En España, aunque el Ministerio de Sanidad elabora el informe de posicionamiento terapéutico (IPT) y las condiciones de reembolso de los fármacos, las Comunidades Autónomas (CC. AA.) gestionan los servicios de salud y deciden sobre las condiciones de prescripción en su ámbito territorial. El objetivo del estudio EQUIDAD fue describir los condicionantes para la prescripción de los nuevos fármacos en Dermatología en las CC. AA. y sus posibles diferencias. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en abril-mayo del 2023. Dos dermatólogos con responsabilidades directivas de cada Comunidad Autónoma (C. A.) informaron sobre los condicionantes autonómicos y locales en la prescripción de los fármacos cuyo IPT para el tratamiento de enfermedades dermatológicas fue publicado en los años 2016-2022. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante un cuestionario online. Resultados: Un total de 33 investigadores de 17 CC. AA. participaron en el estudio. Se observaron inequidades entre CC. AA. para el acceso a los nuevos fármacos. Existieron condicionantes autonómicos adicionales al IPT en psoriasis en el 64,7% de las CC. AA., siendo este porcentaje menor en dermatitis atópica (35,3%) o melanoma (11,8%). El más frecuente fue el requisito de un orden de prescripción previo para el uso del fármaco. En algunas CC. AA. se detectaron además variaciones y condicionantes locales (diferencias entre centros de una misma C. A.). Conclusiones: Existe una multiplicidad de criterios tanto a nivel autonómico como local que añade restricciones adicionales a las establecidas por los IPT y que plantean una situación de inequidad entre los pacientes y los profesionales de las diferentes CC. AA. en el acceso a los nuevos fármacos. (AU)

Background: Although the Spanish Ministry of Health prepares national therapeutic positioning reports (TPRs) and drug reimbursement policies, each of the country's 17 autonomous communities (ACs) is responsible for health care services and prescription requirements in its territory. The aim of the EQUIDAD study was to describe and explore potential differences in prescription requirements for new dermatology drugs across the autonomous communities. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in April and May, 2023. Two dermatologists with management responsibilities from each autonomous community reported on territorial and more local prescription requirements for drugs covered by national TPRs issued between 2016 and 2022. Results: Thirty-three researchers from 17 autonomous communities participated. The data submitted revealed between-community inequities in access to new drugs. Overall, 64.7% of the regions imposed additional prescription requirements to those mentioned in the TPRs for psoriasis. This percentage was lower for atopic dermatitis (35.3%) and melanoma (11.8%). The most common requirement for accessing a new drug was a previous prescription for another drug. Differences and additional requirements were also detected at the local level (i.e., differences between hospitals within the same autonomous community). Conclusions: Spain's autonomous communities have multiple regional and local prescription requirements that are not aligned with national TPR recommendations. These differences result in inequitable access to new drugs for both patients and practitioners across Spain. (AU)

Overall, 64.7% of the regions imposed additional prescription requirements to those mentioned in the TPRs for psoriasis. This percentage was lower for atopic dermatitis (35.3%) and melanoma (11.8%). The most common requirement for accessing a new drug was a previous prescription for another drug. Differences and additional requirements were also detected at the local level (i.e., differences between hospitals within the same autonomous community). Conclusions: Spain's autonomous communities have multiple regional and local prescription requirements that are not aligned with national TPR recommendations. These differences result in inequitable access to new drugs for both patients and practitioners across Spain. (AU)

Antecedentes: En España, aunque el Ministerio de Sanidad elabora el informe de posicionamiento terapéutico (IPT) y las condiciones de reembolso de los fármacos, las Comunidades Autónomas (CC. AA.) gestionan los servicios de salud y deciden sobre las condiciones de prescripción en su ámbito territorial. El objetivo del estudio EQUIDAD fue describir los condicionantes para la prescripción de los nuevos fármacos en Dermatología en las CC. AA. y sus posibles diferencias. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en abril-mayo del 2023. Dos dermatólogos con responsabilidades directivas de cada Comunidad Autónoma (C. A.) informaron sobre los condicionantes autonómicos y locales en la prescripción de los fármacos cuyo IPT para el tratamiento de enfermedades dermatológicas fue publicado en los años 2016-2022. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante un cuestionario online. Resultados: Un total de 33 investigadores de 17 CC. AA. participaron en el estudio. Se observaron inequidades entre CC. AA. para el acceso a los nuevos fármacos. Existieron condicionantes autonómicos adicionales al IPT en psoriasis en el 64,7% de las CC. AA., siendo este porcentaje menor en dermatitis atópica (35,3%) o melanoma (11,8%). El más frecuente fue el requisito de un orden de prescripción previo para el uso del fármaco. En algunas CC. AA. se detectaron además variaciones y condicionantes locales (diferencias entre centros de una misma C. A.). Conclusiones: Existe una multiplicidad de criterios tanto a nivel autonómico como local que añade restricciones adicionales a las establecidas por los IPT y que plantean una situación de inequidad entre los pacientes y los profesionales de las diferentes CC. AA. en el acceso a los nuevos fármacos. (AU)

Vulnerabilidade social no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19: uma discussão bioética / Social vulnerability in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: a bioethical discussion / Vulnerabilidad social en el contexto de la pandemia del COVID-19: una discusión bioética

Objetivo: analisar, sob um olhar bioético, a vulnerabilidade social referente à saúde durante o contexto da pandemia de COVID-19. Metodologia: foram incluídas publicações de 1º de janeiro a 31 de dezembro de 2020, revisadas por pares, identificadas nas bases de dados Pubmed, SciELO e LILACS. Foram utilizados para realizar a busca na base Pubmed o termo MESH "COVID-19" conjugado com os termos: "vulnerable population", "population groups", "social determinants of health", "health equity". Os descritores DECS equivalentes em português e em espanhol dos termos MESH foram utilizados na busca nas outras duas bases. Resultados: de um total de 132 artigos, após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram identificados 21 artigos elegíveis. Os temas mais abordados na amostra foram: vulnerabilidades referentes a pessoas idosas, raça, minorias étnicas, condições socioeconômicas precárias, gênero feminino, pessoas com deficiência e condições crônicas de saúde. Observou-se artigos abordando mais de uma temática, integrando aspectos diversos de populações vulneráveis. Com base nos dados encontrados foram feitas análise e discussão com foco em vulnerabilidade como conceito bioético, além de conexões com discriminação e determinação social da saúde. Conclusão: os resultados apontam para a violação de direitos explicitados na Declaração Universal de Bioética e Direitos Humanos. Ao aumentar a disparidade da morbimortalidade por COVID-19 de grupos populacionais já impactados pela determinação social da saúde, constata-se uma violação do direito à saúde, indicando que governos e sociedades falham em respeitar a vulnerabilidade de grupos sociais no contexto pandêmico.

Objective: to analyze, from a bioethical perspective, social vulnerability in relation to health during the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study included peer-reviewed publications from January 1st until December 31st 2020, identified in Pubmed, SciELO and LILACS data basis. Mesh terms were utilized for research in Pubmed as follows: "COVID-19" conjugated with the terms: "vulnerable population", "population groups", "social determinants of health", "health equity". Portuguese and Spanish equivalents DECS terms were used for searching in the other two databases. Results: a total of 132 articles were found. After applied inclusion and exclusion criteria, were 21 eligible articles. The most recurrent themes were: racial, ethnic and social-economics, gender, age, disability and chronic health conditions. Articles addressing more than one theme were observed, integrating different aspects of vulnerable populations. A bioethical discussion with focus in vulnerability based in the data retrieved took place and connections with discrimination and social determinants of health were made. Conclusion: results point to the violation of rights explained in the Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights. By increasing the disparity in morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 of population groups already impacted by the social determination of health, there is a violation of the right to health, indicating that governments and societies fail to respect the vulnerability of social groups in the pandemic context.

Se observaron artículos que abordaban más de un tema, integrando diferentes aspectos de las poblaciones vulnerables. A partir de los datos encontrados, se realizó análisis y discusión con foco en la vulnerabilidad como concepto bioético, así como las conexiones con la discriminación y la determinación social de la salud. Conclusión: los resultados apuntan a la violación de los derechos explícitos en la Declaración Universal de Bioética y Derechos Humanos. Al aumentar la disparidad en la morbimortalidad por COVID-19 de grupos poblacionales ya impactados por la determinación social de la salud, se vulnera el derecho a la salud, indicando que los gobiernos y las sociedades no respetan la vulnerabilidad de los grupos sociales ante la pandemia.

The search for equity in public health policies: analysis of the implementation of incentives for physical activity in Primary Care in Brazil / La búsqueda de equidad en las políticas públicas de salud: análisis de la implementación de incentivos a la actividad física en la Atención Primaria en Brasil / A busca pela equidade nas políticas públicas de saúde: análise da implementação do incentivo à atividade física na Atenção Primária do Brasil

Public health policies aim to provide equitable access to healthcare services as a fundamental right. In 2022, the Ministry of Health created a financial incentive to promote physical activity (IAF) in SUS Primary Health Care. The objectives of this study were to present the national panorama of the first year of implementation of the IAF and to analyze whether the municipal prioritization score, created considering the existing budget availability, was an effective criterion for greater equity in the distribution of resources in the different implementation periods (without and with targets). This is a descriptive study analyzing the absolute and relative number of municipalities and health units approved, the number of health units that received funds and the amounts paid out. To analyze equity, measures of absolute and relative inequalities between health units were calculated, grouped into quartiles according to the municipal prioritization score. The percentage of approved health units that received funds was no more than 37.6%, with R$18.05 million paid out (period without targets) and R$10.10 million (with targets). There was a 68.9% reduction in the number of health units that received funds after the targets were set. Important inequalities in the receipt of resources were revealed, with a higher percentage of health units located in municipalities with lower priority. Thus, the criteria adopted by the Ministry of Health were insufficient to guarantee equity in the allocation of resources to promote physical activity.

Las políticas de salud pública apuntan a brindar acceso equitativo a los servicios de salud como un derecho fundamental. En 2022, el Ministerio de Salud creó un incentivo financiero para promover la actividad física (IAF) en la Atención Primaria de Salud del SUS. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo presentar el panorama nacional del primer año de implementación del IAF y analizar si el puntaje de priorización municipal, creado considerando la disponibilidad presupuestaria existente, fue un criterio efectivo para una mayor equidad en la distribución de los recursos en los diferentes períodos de implementación (sin y con metas). Se trata de un estudio descriptivo con análisis del número absoluto y relativo de municipios y unidades de salud aprobadas, unidades de salud que recibieron recursos y los montos pagados. Para analizar la equidad se calcularon medidas de desigualdades absolutas y relativas entre unidades de salud, agrupadas en cuartiles según el puntaje de priorización municipal. Se demostró que el 74% de los municipios y el 16,7% de las unidades de salud elegibles fueron aprobados por el IAF. El porcentaje de unidades de salud aprobadas que recibieron recursos no superó el 37,6%, siendo pagados R$ 18,05 millones (período sin metas) y R$ 10,10 millones (con metas). Hubo una reducción del 68,9% en las unidades de salud que recibieron recursos luego de establecer metas. Se revelaron importantes desigualdades en la recepción de recursos, con un mayor porcentaje de unidades de salud ubicadas en municipios con menor prioridad. Por tanto, los criterios adoptados por el Ministerio de Salud fueron insuficientes para garantizar la equidad en la asignación de recursos para promover la actividad física.

Foi demonstrado que 74% dos municípios e 16,7% das unidades de saúde elegíveis foram homologadas ao IAF. O percentual de unidades de saúde homologadas que receberam recursos não passou de 37,6%, sendo pagos R$18,05 milhões (período sem metas) e R$10,10 milhões (com metas). Houve uma redução de 68,9% nas unidades de saúde que receberam recursos após o estabelecimento de metas. Foram reveladas importantes desigualdades no recebimento de recursos, com maior percentual de unidades de saúde localizadas em municípios com menor prioridade. Assim, os critérios adotados pelo Ministério da Saúde foram insuficientes para garantir equidade na alocação de recursos para a promoção da atividade física.

[Translated article] Requirements for Accessing New Dermatology Drugs in Spain: Results of the EQUIDAD Study.

BACKGROUND: Although the Spanish Ministry of Health prepares national therapeutic positioning reports (TPRs) and drug reimbursement policies, each of the country's 17 autonomous communities (ACs) is responsible for health care services and prescription requirements in its territory. The aim of the EQUIDAD study was to describe and explore potential differences in prescription requirements for new dermatology drugs across the autonomous communities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted in April and May, 2023. Two dermatologists with management responsibilities from each autonomous community reported on territorial and more local prescription requirements for drugs covered by national TPRs issued between 2016 and 2022. RESULTS: Thirty-three researchers from 17 autonomous communities participated. The data submitted revealed between-community inequities in access to new drugs. Overall, 64.7% of the regions imposed additional prescription requirements to those mentioned in the TPRs for psoriasis. This percentage was lower for atopic dermatitis (35.3%) and melanoma (11.8%). The most common requirement for accessing a new drug was a previous prescription for another drug. Differences and additional requirements were also detected at the local level (i.e., differences between hospitals within the same autonomous community). CONCLUSIONS: Spain's autonomous communities have multiple regional and local prescription requirements that are not aligned with national TPR recommendations. These differences result in inequitable access to new drugs for both patients and practitioners across Spain.

Estrategias usadas en la atención de la salud sexual de poblaciones rurales de bajos ingresos / Strategies Used in Sexual Health Care for Low-Income Rural Populations / Estratégias utilizadas na atenção à saúde sexual de populações rurais de baixa renda

Introducción: en la ejecución de políticas públicas de salud sexual, resultan cruciales las estrategias utiliza-das en la construcción de la relación agente de salud-usuario. En la literatura son pocos los artículos que exploran las estrategias que utilizan los agentes de salud para interactuar con pobladores rurales al abor-dar estas problemáticas. Este artículo se propone describir y comprender las estrategias que utilizan los agentes de salud en la atención de la salud sexual y reproductiva de pobladores rurales de bajos ingresos. Para ello, se conceptualiza la relación médico-paciente como una interfaz social, es decir, como un espacio de articulación entre los mundos de sentido de los actores involucrados. Materiales y métodos: se desarrolló un estudio de carácter exploratorio-descriptivo de tipo transversal. Se realizaron 21 entrevistas semiestruc-turadas a agentes del sistema de salud, y su análisis se hizo desde un enfoque cualitativo. Resultados: los agentes de salud utilizan un amplio repertorio de estrategias para abordar la salud sexual de los pobladores rurales. Se identificaron y caracterizaron dos tipos de estrategias (dialógicas y monológicas), con sus respectivos subtipos. Conclusión: el estudio visibiliza las estrategias dialógicas como modo alternativo de relación médico-paciente, en contraste con estrategias tradicionales, de tipo monológico. Además, contribuye a la formación de los agentes de salud, y en la conformación de los equipos que abordan la salud sexual y reproductiva en contextos rurales

Introduction: The strategies used for constructing health agent-user relationship are crucial for exe-cuting public policies on sexual health. In the literature, few articles explore the strategies used by health agents to interact with rural residents when addressing these problems. We aimed to describe and understand these strategies used by health agents for sexual health care in low-income rural resi-dents. To achieve this, the doctor­patient relationship is assumed to be a social interface and a space of articulation between the worlds of meaning of the actors involved. Materials and methods: An explor-atory, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was developed. Overall, 21 semistructured interviews were conducted with health agents, and the results were qualitatively analyzed. Results: Health agents use a wide repertoire of strategies to address the sexual health of rural residents. Two types of strategies (dia-logical and monological) and their respective subtypes were identified and characterized. Conclusion:Dialogic strategies are an alternative to the doctor­patient relationship and are contradictory to the traditional monological strategies. They impact the training of health agents and the formation of teams that address sexual and reproductive health in rural settings

La equidad en la campaña de vacunación COVID de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina): un análisis del Municipio de Quilmes.

INTRODUCCIÓN: la pandemia de la COVID-19 ha acentuado las desigualdades sociales, económicas y relacionadas con la salud, afectando desproporcionadamente a las personas en situación de vulnerabilidad y perpetuando la inequidad en salud. En Argentina se implementó una campaña nacional gratuita de vacunación contra la COVID-19 con una perspectiva de equidad. OBJETIVO: identificar desigualdades territoriales en el acceso a la vacunación contra la COVID-19 en Quilmes. MÉTODOS: se analizó la información referida a la vacunación contra la COVID-19 de personas residentes en el Municipio. Se efectuó la georreferenciación de cada vacunatorio y de cada persona a partir del domicilio declarado en el momento de la vacunación. Para caracterizar el grado de vulnerabilidad de las personas vacunadas, a cada una se le asignó el índice de carencias múltiples (ICM) correspondiente al radio censal de residencia. RESULTADOS: al menos el 82 % de la población completó el esquema primario de vacunación (dosis 1 y dosis 2), porcentaje que alcanzó el 97 % en los mayores de 65 años. Analizando la media de dosis aplicadas se observa algo similar con un gradiente hacia los quintiles más altos pero con una mínima diferencia entre sí, situación que también se corrobora en todos los grupos etarios. DISCUSIÓN: no se observaron brechas significativas entre los diferentes niveles socioeconómicos. Si bien se observó un mínimo gradiente en el promedio de dosis recibidas, el tiempo de acceso a las diferentes vacunas y el porcentaje de esquemas primarios completos recibidos, las mismas tienen escasa relevancia clínica y sanitaria.
