“…O escopo apropriado ao exame das desigualdades sociais dirige-se às situações que implicam algum grau de injustiça, porque colocam determinados coletivos populacionais em desvantagem quanto à chance de serem e de se manterem sadios (Barata, 2009). Essa problemática decorre dos modos de organização/produção societária e tende a refletir os níveis de segregação existentes, configurando-se, portanto, como iniquidade (Kindig, 2007).…”

ResumoAo reconhecer a relevância dos estudos sobre as desigualdades sociais em saúde, o presente trabalho propõe uma análise que articula essa temática à questão das práticas corporais e sua institucionalização no campo público. Inicia resgatando as perspectivas ético-políticas legitimadoras do ideário da Atenção Primária à saúde e da Promoção da saúde e alguns elementos pontuais do vasto debate teórico sobre as desigualdades e iniquidades sociais em saúde. A partir desses pressupostos problematiza o modo como as práticas corporais têm sido "posicionadas" no universo da Atenção Primária no Brasil, uma vez que sua implementação vem ocorrendo de forma medicalizadora e fragmentada. Para tanto, debruça-se sobre o exame contextual de duas iniciativas públicas existentes no Espírito Santo (ES) que fomentam práticas corporais/atividades físicas. O empreendimento analítico foi subsidiado pelo cotejamento de informações relativas às condições de vida em alguns bairros da cidade de Vitória e às características de tais programas. Finaliza apontando algumas reflexões, com base no quadro empírico--conceitual produzido.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] A critical component of population management requires proactive, regular interaction between patients and the clinician or clinical team-engagement and communication that will take place outside the traditional face-to-face encounter. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Outreach outside of physician visits, for example, has been shown to improve colorectal cancer screening, 19 increase influenza vaccination, 20,21 reduce medical costs and hospitalizations, 22 and improve care and health outcomes for patients with chronic care conditions.…”

Using Digital Technology to Engage and Communicate with Patients: A Survey of Patient Attitudes

et al. 2015

BACKGROUND: As primary care moves toward a system of population health management, providers will need to engage patients outside traditional office-based interactions. OBJECTIVE: We assessed patient attitudes regarding technology use to communicate with their primary care team or to engage with other patients outside typical office settings. Design/Participants/Main Measures We c o n d u c t e d a n a t i o n a l s u r v e y u s i n g G f K KnowledgePanel ® to examine attitudes on the use of digital technology (email, text messaging, and social media such as Facebook and Twitter) to communicate with primary care teams about health behavior goals and test results. We also assessed attitudes toward the use of digital technologies to engage with other patients in activities such as peer coaching. KEY RESULTS: Of the 5119 panel members invited to participate, 3336 completed the survey (response rate, 65.2 %). Among respondents, more than half (58 %) reported using Facebook, and nearly two-thirds (64.1 %) used text messaging. Overall, few participants were willing to communicate about health goals via social media (3.1 %) or text messaging (13.3 %), compared to email (48.8 %) or phone (75.5 %) (results were similar for communication about test results). Among those that used text messaging, race/ethnicity was the only factor independently associated with greater support for text messaging [African American (OR 1.44; 95 % CI, 1.01-2.06) and Hispanic (OR 1.8; 95 % CI, 1.25-2.59)] in multivariate models. Participants interested in engaging in peer coaching through Facebook (11.7 %) were more likely to be younger (p<0.0001), female (p<0.001), and a racial/ ethnic minority (African American, non-Hispanic or Hispanic, p<0.0004). CONCLUSIONS: Despite regular use of new digital technology such as text messaging and social media, few participants supported using these tools for communicating with their physicians' practice. Participants were most supportive of using email for communication. Contrary to previous studies, among users of technology, low socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic minorities were equally or more likely to support use.

“…In the early 18 th century, infectious diseases such as cholera and smallpox accounted for the bulk of morbidity and mortality experienced among populations and were largely attributed to rapid industrialization, urbanization and increased population densities. Descriptions of health at this time were primarily biomedical and negative, focusing on the absence of illness or disease (Kindig 2007, Brown 2006. Public health policies emphasized illness prevention and protecting the public from the occurrence and spread of disease epidemics primarily through modifying human environments including improving the sanitary conditions and increasing efforts towards hygienic practices of populations.…”

Neighbourhood contexts and opportunities for youth gambling in Montréal, Québec

Gambling has become an increasingly accessible and acceptable form of entertainment in North America and worldwide in recent decades. Legalized gambling activities in Canada generate annual governmental revenues that totalled 12.9$ billion dollars in 2005 and estimates indicate that over 70 percent of the adult population and nearly as many young people participate in some form of gambling in a given year. Beyond a source of entertainment and governmental revenue, gambling is an emerging public health issue at the centre of numerous social and health costs including suicide, depression, criminal and delinquent behaviour, domestic violence, family dysfunction, financial troubles, and increased risk of developing multiple addictions.Video lottery terminals (VLTs) are among the most popular and controversial gambling activities in Quebec and Canada. The increased availability and popularity of gambling activities like VLTs is cause for concern given high rates of gambling among vulnerable youth populations and what is known about the links between excessive gambling and serious social and health consequences. Gambling research has traditionally focused on identifying individual factors that influence gambling behaviours, like personal decision-making, impulsivity and self-control.This dissertation employs conceptual themes from health geography and population health to frame gambling as a behaviour best understood through a consideration of both individual characteristics and characteristics of surrounding social and physical environments. A mixed methods approach was adopted to explore individual and environmental factors of neighbourhoods that influence youth VLT gambling. Four research objectives were addressed: 1) to describe the socio-spatial distribution of gambling opportunities surrounding high schools in Montreal; 2) to model VLT use by youth in Montreal as a function of individual and social contextual characteristics (including VLT accessibility); 3) to develop an in-depth understanding of why youth gamble; and 4) to develop an understanding of the social norms that are supportive of youth gambling.Assessment of the distribution of VLT gambling opportunities (n=400) high school locations (n=305) and neighbourhood socio-economic conditions within the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area revealed VLT opportunities were more abundant in economically disadvantaged and inner-city school neighbourhoods. A student survey (n=2672) in Montreal and geographic data of VLT locations and socio-economic conditions of school neighbourhoods demonstrated that the majority (60%) of youth reported gambling in the past year and nearly one tenth reported gambling weekly. Twelve percent of students reported playing VLTs and one in three students reported VLT use by friends. Students most often reported gambling for fun, money, entertainment and excitement. Logistic regression models of VLT use showed male sex, engaging in other risky behaviours (particularly marijuana use), II attendance at schools where gambling is prev...
