RESUMEN
This case study examined the feasibility, reach, and potential impact of using Wikipedia as a tool for hearing health promotion. Activities involved editing existing Portuguese-language Wikipedia hearing health articles, as well as translating English-language hearing health articles to Portuguese during the Wiki4WorldHearingDay2019 and Wiki4YearOfSound2020 online campaigns. The Wikipedia efforts that took place in Brazil were carried out by 10 volunteer undergraduate students in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, in Brazil. Among new and existing Wikipedia articles, the group edited 37 articles, which attracted more than 220,000 views during the set tracking period. Students were responsible for 60% of the Portuguese-language edits during the Wiki4WorldHearingDay2019 campaign and more than 90% of the Portuguese-language edits during the first half of the Wiki4YearOfSound2020 campaign. Moreover, the quality indexes for pages either created or edited were improved in all situations by registering an increase rate ranging from 33% to 100%. Wikipedia-centered activities expanded the availability of quality scientific content, written in plain language, to the public. Students worked together in order to select topics, assess existing information, validate it, create new content, and share information-steps that contributed to the mission of health promotion and knowledge dissemination for the benefit of society.
RESUMEN
Resumo Este artigo analisa o uso de fontes iconográficas no contexto das campanhas educativas para o combate à hanseníase numa perspectiva sócio-histórica em quatro momentos: décadas de 1950, 1960, 1980 e 1990. São analisados quatro cartazes para identificar os elementos (textuais, visuais ou gráficos) utilizados para elaborar um discurso sobre a doença e os doentes; suas transformações discursivas e permanências, além de verificar como se tornaram parte de uma narrativa de memória institucional ligada à saúde pública paulista. As fontes estudadas fazem parte da coleção Cartazes de Campanhas de Saúde, cujos itens foram produzidos por diversas instituições ligadas à saúde pública e integram o acervo do Museu de Saúde Pública Emílio Ribas.
Abstract This article analyzes the use of iconographic sources in the context of educational campaigns to combat Hansen's disease from a socio-historical perspective at four points in time: the 1950s, 1960s, 1980s, and 1990s. Four posters are analyzed to identify the elements (textual, visual or graphic) used to develop discourse on this disease and those it affected and transformations and permanences in this discourse, as well as to verify how they became part of a narrative of institutional memory linked to public health in the state of São Paulo. These were produced by various public health institutions and are part of the Health Campaign Poster Collection held by the Emílio Ribas Public Health Museum.

RESUMEN
O que pode ser considerado comunicação de qualidade para a promoção da saúde e da prevenção de ISTs entre jovens? Este artigo apresenta uma proposta de metodologia de pesquisa para avaliar a qualidade de peças produzidas no contexto de campanhas de comunicação pública, tais como vídeos, cartazes, folhetos, mídias sonoras e impressas, postagens em redes sociais on-line etc. Os indicadores utilizados para determinar parâmetros de qualidade foram extraídos da literatura especializada e sistematizados em um roteiro de avaliação, com sete blocos temáticos articulados em torno de proposições normativas. Neste artigo, caracterizamos tal roteiro, sua fundamentação e sua forma de aplicação, que buscam responder ao desafio de determinar o que é qualidade em teoria e prática na comunicação promotora da saúde. Trata-se de um instrumento objetivo sobre corpora extensos que pode ser aplicado por pesquisadores individuais ou equipes.(AU)
What constitutes effective communication for health promotion and the prevention of STI among young people? This article proposes a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of public publicity campaign pieces, such as videos, posters, leaflets, audio and print media, and social media posts. The indicators used to determine effectiveness were taken from the specialist literature and systematized in the form of an evaluation guide consisting of seven thematic blocks structured around normative propositions. This article describes the guide, the rationale behind it, and its application as a health communication tool for determining effectiveness in theory and practice. The guide provides an objective tool that can be applied by individual researchers or teams to a broad range of corpora.(AU)

Neste trabalho analisamos as campanhas preventivas de papilomavírus humano (HPV) e câncer no colo do útero (CCU) desenvolvidas pelo Instituto Nacional de Câncer / Ministério da Saúde, de 2014 a 2020. À luz de um olhar socioantropológico, nosso objetivo principal é compreender como estas campanhas acionam representações de gênero, e, enquanto tecnologias de saúde, como co-constroem sentidos e usuários. As campanhas evidenciam uma certa politização do útero que mantém um excessivo escrutínio do corpo feminino, através da medicalização e do monitoramento da saúde sexual e reprodutiva das mulheres. Entre as controvérsias, deslocamentos e continuidades que atravessam a discussão, as campanhas preventivas apontam para uma materialidade que não apenas faz, mas também deixa de fazer promovendo silenciamentos e ausências. Assim, acreditamos que os elementos gráficos dessas campanhas nos permitem compreender alguns aspectos importantes do lugar do útero nas políticas públicas em saúde. Em adição, apresentamos algumas campanhas privadas e não governamentais, como contraponto à análise. Criamos sete categorias de análise ("Geracionalidade do cuidado", "Escolarização", "Infância e Juventude", "Gamificação", "Risco à saúde", "Saúde do Homem" e "Neutralidade") que nos permitiram discutir e realizar costuras entre as temáticas que surgiam nas peças gráficas. Ainda que o Brasil, historicamente, seja considerado um país que possui uma cultura robusta de imunização, a adesão à vacina do HPV ainda é considerada baixa. Devido a isso, tanto a vacinação contra HPV quanto o acometimento de CCU são apresentados enquanto "alarmantes problemas de saúde". As especificidades do contexto brasileiro, de certo modo, embaralham noções de risco e cuidado, proteção e submissão, autonomia e negacionismo. As peças gráficas analisadas iluminam um universo simbólico em relação ao tema e a peculiaridade da biografia da vacina de HPV, atravessando questões como o aumento do público alvo das vacinas, a recente ampliação da vacina para homens, a baixa adesão na segunda e terceira dose, a desconfiança familiar, as influências anti-vacinistas, moralidades em torno de gênero e sexualidades, etc. As campanhas contextualizadas com a história da vacina no Brasil, o atual modo de gestão e os atores em cena engendram um fenômeno que merece atenção pelos estudos das ciências humanas em saúde. Portanto, nos debruçamos justamente na tentativa de seguir parte da trajetória que as campanhas vacinais de HPV e preventivas de CCU têm traçado no Brasil, principalmente através das articulações estabelecidas entre gênero e saúde, partindo de uma perspectiva que encara ciência e cultura como indissociáveis
In this paper we analyze the preventive campaigns of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer (CC) developed by the National Cancer Institute / Ministry of Health, from 2014 to 2020. In the light of a socioanthropological view, our main objective is to understand how these campaigns trigger gender representations, and, as health technologies, how to co-construct meanings and users. The campaigns highlight a certain politicization of the uterus that maintains excessive scrutiny of the female body, through medicalization and monitoring of the sexual and reproductive health of women. Among the controversies, displacements and continuities that cross the discussion, preventive campaigns point to a materiality that not only does, but also ceases to do promoting silences and absences. Thus, we believe that the graphic elements of these campaigns allow us to understand some important aspects of the place of the uterus in public health policies. In addition, we present some private and non-governmental campaigns, as a counterpoint to the analysis. We created seven categories of analysis ("Generationality of care", "Schooling", "Childhood and Youth", "Gamification", "Risk to Health", "Men's Health" and "Neutrality") that allowed us to discuss and make seams between the themes that emerged in the layouts. Although Brazil has historically been considered a country with a robust immunization culture, HPV vaccine adhering is still considered low. Because of this, both HPV vaccination and CC involvement are presented as "alarming health problems". The specificities of the Brazilian context, in a way, scramble the senses of risk and care, protection and submission, autonomy and denialism. The graphic pieces analyzed illuminate a symbolic universe in relation to the theme and the peculiarity of the biography of the HPV vaccine, going through issues such as the increase in the target audience of vaccines, the recent expansion of the vaccine for men, the low adoption in the second and third dose, family distrust, anti-vacinist influences, morality around gender and sexualities, and so on. The campaigns contextualized with the history of the vaccine in Brazil, the current mode of management and the actors on the scene engender a phenomenon that deserves attention for the studies of the human sciences in health. Therefore, we focus precisely on the attempt to follow part of the trajectory that HPV vaccine and CC preventive campaigns have mapped in Brazil, mainly through the articulations established between gender and health, starting from a perspective that sees science and culture as inseparable

BACKGROUND: In 2015-2017, the Americas experienced a highly consequential epidemics for pregnancy and childbearing. Mainly transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, but also through sexual intercourse, the Zika virus poses the risk of congenital Zika syndrome to fetus, which includes microcephaly and other child development complications. When a public health crisis taps directly into reproductive health, typically a feminine realm, responses to the emergency may exacerbate deeply-rooted gender norms. This paper investigates the role of gender in two relational contexts: (a) the government-led response to the pandemic in terms of communication campaigns aimed at preventing Zika infections; and (b) an individual level of response to the emergency, concerning women's negotiation with their sexual partners with regard to the prevention of Zika as well as pregnancies. METHODS: We conducted content analysis of 94 unique pieces from public health communication campaigns produced by governmental agencies with the goal of promoting Zika awareness. Print and online materials were collected from May 2016 to August 2017, and included TV ads, Internet Pop-ups, and pamphlets. We also analyzed transcripts from 16 focus groups conducted with reproductive-aged women (18-40) in Belo Horizonte and Recife, two large cities differently affected by the Zika outbreak. Women answered open-ended questions connected to the epidemic, in areas such as personal knowledge and experiences with the Zika virus, experiences of their friends and acquaintances, their primary information sources, their perceptions of public health efforts toward containing the outbreak, as well as women's contraceptive use. RESULTS: Campaign pieces handling pregnancy and microcephaly were largely gendered. Pieces targeted women, placing on their shoulders the responsibility for protecting a potential fetus from the disease. Importantly, campaigns neglected addressing male's participation on Zika prevention and contraceptive management, while failing to take into account Brazil's large proportion of unplanned pregnancies. Women were placed in a double bind by being expected to prevent both pregnancy and Zika, in a context where gendered power imbalances often translate in women having little power/means for condom negotiation/avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse. CONCLUSION: Government and individual responses to the epidemics reinforced gender roles, situating pregnant women as responsible for averting mosquito bites and microcephaly. Further, prevention campaigns largely excluded men. Since low-socioeconomic status women possessed fewer resources to preclude infection, we also found that beyond the gender divide, this subgroup faced more pronounced Zika prevention challenges as they found it harder to negotiate condom use with their sexual partners and often could not access other types of contraceptives resulting in unplanned pregnancies.

Resumo O Brasil se destaca mundialmente na redução do tabagismo devido a suas eficazes políticas de controle. O artigo analisa, por meio de revisão narrativa, a natureza das discussões científicas que embasaram essas políticas públicas, por meio de perspectivas históricas, sociais, sanitárias e econômicas. Ressalta que as medidas associadas a essas questões têm sido marcadas por disputas de interesses entre as indústrias fumageiras e organizações de saúde. Explora temas ligados a publicidade, redução de danos, políticas tributárias e ações de proteção a não fumantes. Aponta para novas determinações sobre a publicidade de tabaco e sugere, por análise comparativa, veto à propaganda de bebidas alcoólicas no país.
Abstract Brazil is a country that stands out worldwide in the reduction of smoking due to its effective control policies. By means of a narrative review, the article analyzes the nature of the scientific discussions that underpin these public policies from historical, social, health and economic perspectives. The fact that the measures associated with these issues have been marked by conflicts of interest between the tobacco industry and health organizations is highlighted. Themes related to advertising, harm reduction, tax policies and actions to protect nonsmokers are scrutinized. New stipulations on tobacco advertising are examined and, by comparative analysis, a veto on the advertising of alcoholic beverages in the country is suggested.

OBJECTIVE: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a major cause of death among children aged <1 year. Campaigns to educate physicians have been effective to reduce its incidence. We assessed the knowledge of Brazilian pediatricians' regarding risk factors for SIDS, their familiarity with the first Brazilian SIDS campaign launched in 2009, and self-reported changes in practices following this campaign. METHODS: Active members of the Brazilian Society for Pediatrics who had been in practice for at least two years at the time of the campaign were invited. Pediatricians answered an online survey including eight multiple-choice questions and one open-ended question. Invitees were chosen by chance draw to reflect the geographic distribution of pediatricians in the five regions of the country. RESULTS: The survey was answered by 1654 pediatricians (mean [SD] age: 46 [11.5] years; mean [SD] professional practice time: 20.2 [11.52] years). Bedding items (77.7%), prone sleeping position (72.9%), bed sharing (66.3%), and smoking (59.2%) were recognized as risk factors for SIDS. Most pediatricians (88.2%) were familiar with the campaign, and 84.7% were aware of the current recommendation of supine sleeping position to prevent SIDS. The effectiveness of the first Brazilian SIDS campaign could be measured by a change in practice; before the campaign, 67.5% recommended lateral position and 23.1% the supine, and after the campaign, 76.2% recommended supine and 10.4% lateral. However, 12.8% still recommend prone position. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of pediatricians changed their advice to parents after the educational campaign and became familiar with risk factors for SIDS. Continuous educational campaigns focusing on physicians resistant to changing practices should be provided.

Chagas disease control requires an innovative approach to strengthen community participation in vector surveillance. This paper presents a case study of a community-based bug-hunting campaign in Guatemala. The campaign was implemented in 2007 in the following three stages: (i) a four week preparation stage to promote bug-hunting, (ii) a one week bug-hunting stage to capture and collect bugs and (iii) a 10 week follow-up stage to analyse the bugs and spray insecticide. A total of 2,845 bugs were reported, of which 7% were Triatominae vectors, such as Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata. The bug-hunting campaign detected a five-six-fold higher amount of vectors in one week than traditional community-based surveillance detects in one year. The bug-hunting campaign effectively detected vectors during a short period, provided information to update the vector infestation map and increased community and political awareness regarding Chagas disease. This approach could be recommended as an effective and feasible strategy to strengthen vector surveillance on a larger scale.

Desde finales de la década de 1920, el uso del cine como una herramienta de educación higiénica se popularizó en México y, a lo largo de los años, se convirtió en un eficiente medio de propaganda para que el Estado y las autoridades sanitarias promovieran sus proyectos, recreando en las películas la imagen de un país sano y moderno. En este texto muestro los resultados del trabajo de rescate y catalogación del acervo filmográfico de la Secretaría de Salud los cuales me han permitido reconstruir la cartelera cinematográfica nacional e internacional - principalmente estadounidense - que se vio y se produjo en México entre 1943 y 1960.
Since the late 1920s, cinema has been a popular tool in health education in Mexico; over the years, it functioned as an efficient means of propaganda through which the State and public health authorities promoted their projects and re-created the image of a healthy, modern country on screen. The article presents the results of an effort to recover and catalogue the Mexican Department of Health's film archive, an endeavor that allowed for the reconstruction of a list of national and international films screened and produced in Mexico from 1943 to 1960, especially from the United States.
