“…Nonetheless, in these studies, language was studied as a component of a battery of tests measuring overall ECD that are difficult to administer to a survey population [ 30 ]. In contrast, the ECDI is a standard measure in population-based surveys; results from the ECDI in Mexico in 2018 showed a prevalence of 19.9% of children who were not developmentally on-track, with an increasing possibility of being on-track in children with higher SES and among those with ownership of children’s books [ 64 ].…”

Background: Lead can affect early childhood development (ECD) differentially due to nutritional deficiencies that lead to stunted growth, defined as being at least two standard deviations below the average height-for-age. These deficiencies are more frequent among children living in rural locations or with lower socioeconomic status (SES); however, studies at a population level are scarce worldwide. Early childhood development plays a crucial role in influencing a child’s health and wellbeing throughout life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze how stunted growth can modify the association between lead exposure and ECD in children from disadvantaged communities. Methods: Data were analyzed from the 2018 National Health and Nutrition Survey in localities with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants in Mexico (ENSANUT-100K). Capillary blood lead (BPb) levels were measured using a LeadCare II device and dichotomized as detectable (cutoff point ≥ 3.3 µg/dL) and non-detectable. As a measure of ECD, language development was assessed in n = 1394 children, representing 2,415,000 children aged 12–59 months. To assess the association between lead exposure and language z-scores, a linear model was generated adjusted by age, sex, stunted growth, maternal education, socioeconomic status, area, region (north, center, south), and family care characteristics; afterwards, the model was stratified by stunted growth. Results: Fifty percent of children had detectable BPb and 15.3% had stunted growth. BPb showed a marginal inverse association with language z-scores (β: −0.08, 95% CI: −0.53, 0.36). Children with detectable BPb and stunted growth had significantly lower language z-scores (β: −0.40, 95% CI: −0.71, −0.10) than those without stunted growth (β: −0.15, 95% CI: −0.36, 0.06). Conclusions: Children with stunted growth are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of lead exposure. These results add to previous research calling for action to reduce lead exposure, particularly in children with chronic undernutrition.

“…6 In the context of academic restructuring, INSP/ ESPM must transition to an educational model where the nature of learning is not only formative, but also transformative and academically innovative, where a pedagogical model of tutoring focused on problemsolving practice predominates, and where the nature of teaching is based on a competency-based educational model based on teaching and research. Where students, starting from the admission process, are integrated early into research and teaching groups (GID), benefit from group tutoring and take advantage of the academic leadership that various GIDs have achieved in topics such as environmental health, 8 reproductive health, 9 addictions, 10 health systems, 11 social sciences, 12 indigenous peoples, 13 quality of care, 14 national surveys, 15 infectious diseases, 16 burden of disease, 17 nutrition, 18,19 cancer epidemiology, 20 children's wellbeing, 21,22 among others.…”

Public health training cannot be practiced in isolation, but rather within the framework of substantive conceptual visions, the organizational structure and teaching culture in a broad sense. The School of Public Health of Mexico (ESPM), in the mist of its 100th anniversary, is implementing an educational restructure with the guidance of conceptual and ethical principles. The restructure of the academic programs will follow a constructivist pedagogical model, based on renewed institutional practices that integrates research, teaching and community outreach, making for truly transformative learning. The new design of the whole structure of its academic programs has the objetive of making them flexible, less technical-based but more practical, and a within an unified curricular system that articulates and allows continuity between master’s degrees and doctorates programs. In the new structure, the curriculum will have a common core for all the academic programs, emerging from the study of the essential bases of public health, human rights, including gender and social perspectives, principles of global health, ethics of public health practice, environmental and animal health inferences and community outreach in the form of social retribution. The Institute’s research groups will be the functional units for investigation and teaching, thus students will be integrated into these at an early stage, under the guidance of a tutor. In this context, the requirements for a comprehensive, unifying and at the same time flexible curriculum will support training of Public Health with a holistic approach. The current programs were analyzed including the review of their courses, regarding the pertinence of their contents and proposed competencies. We present herein a description of these observations, and propose a new common core (conceptual-operative) with compulsory courses as the base for all programs. The participation of all academic bodies in reviewing the proposed new common core, as well as the syllabus and courses, identified those that are essential in each program’s study concentration area, is indicated.

“…E n los últimos años se profundizó el análisis del vínculo entre contexto y desarrollo infantil (de Castro et al, 2019;Fernández-Rodríguez, 2021;Vázquez-Salas et al, 2020). Uno de los primeros debates dentro del campo del desarrollo infantil se refería a la medida en que las niñas y niños son producto de su composición genética o del entorno en el que crecen.…”

Durante los últimos años diversas investigaciones analizaron la asociación entre contexto y desarrollo infantil. Un problema central es si el ambiente influye en el desarrollo cognitivo. El contexto está compuesto por diferentes niveles que interactúan entre sí e influyen en las personas: el microsistema, mesosistema, exosistema y el macrosistema. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es indagar acerca de los factores que pertenecen al contexto y modularían el desarrollo infantil. A través de una búsqueda de artículos empíricos en revistas científicas indexadas, se seleccionaron 22 artículos, los cuales fueron analizados mediante la comparación de las variables: población, país, instrumento de evaluación, constructo evaluado, frecuencia de evaluación y resultados. Los resultados muestran que los factores ambientales pertenecientes a cada nivel analizado tienen la capacidad de modular el desarrollo infantil.
