Objetivo: esta comunicação tem como objetivo discutir as Fake News no cenário brasileiro deCOVID-19.Desenvolvimento: no período entre 29 de janeiro e 31 de março de 2020, foi realizada uma buscano banco do Ministério da Saúde brasileiro e foram identificadas 70 Fake News sobre o COVID-19,sendo: 40 informações relacionadas aos discursos de autoridades na saúde, 17 sobre terapêutica,nove com medidas de prevenção, duas referentes aos prognósticos da doença e duas de vacinação.Conclusão: a literatura sobre o tema pode ser escassa, no entanto, observa-se que a velocidade deprodução de Fake News é relevante, especialmente ao pressupor o impacto social e a capacidadede circulação destas notícias.

Background: Trans women face disproportionate burden of adverse health outcomes, including mental health issues. Very little is known about suicidal behavior among trans women in low- and middle-income settings, such as Brazil. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of lifetime suicidal behavior and to identify its associated factors among Brazilian trans women. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 345 trans women living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We examined the prevalence of suicidal behavior (ideation and suicide attempt) and its associated factors using stepwise backward Poisson regression analysis with robust variance. Results: Suicidal ideation was present among 47.25% of participants, and the prevalence of lifetime suicide attempt was 27.25%. Trans women with prior physical violence perpetrated by a family member had significantly higher prevalence of suicidal ideation (adjusted prevalence ratios [aPR]1.37), whereas those who reported sex work had lower prevalence ratio of suicidal ideation (aPR 0.76). Suicide attempt was significantly associated with living alone (aPR 1.48), physical violence by a casual partner (aPR 1.92), and sexual violence by a family member (aPR 1.69). Depression was significantly associated with both outcomes (aPR 1.90 for suicidal ideation and aPR 2.21 for suicide attempt). Conclusion: Suicidal behavior prevalence rates among Brazilian trans women were alarming and directly linked to violence and poor mental health. Effective mental health and public health policies addressing violence against trans women are urgently needed to prevent suicidal behavior among this highly vulnerable population.

Objective to analyze the relationship between per capita income and the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 in the neighborhoods of the city of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Method an ecological study using neighborhoods as units of analysis. The cumulative incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants and the median of potential confounding variables (sex, race, and age) were calculated. Multiple analysis included quantile regression, estimating the regression coefficients of the variable income for every five percentiles from the 10th to 90th percentiles to verify the relationship between income and incidence. Results the city’s rate was 36.58 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In general, the highest rates were observed in the wealthiest regions. Multiple analysis was consistent with this observation since the per capita income affected all percentiles analyzed, with a median regression coefficient of 0.02 (p-value <0.001; R2 32.93). That is, there is an increase of R$ 0.02 in the neighborhood’s per capita income for every unit of incidence. Conclusion cumulative incident rates of COVID-19 are influenced by one’s neighborhood of residency, suggesting that access to testing is uneven.

Objetivo Refletir sobre as possíveis diferenças entre os termos “violência contra mulher” e “mulheres em situação de violência” com base na análise da ocorrência de violência íntima. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal com uma amostra de 640 mulheres com idade entre 20 e 64 anos, em quatro unidades de Saúde da Família do município de Nova Iguaçu (RJ). Para aferição do evento, foi utilizada a versão em português do instrumento Revised Conflict Tactics Scales, que avaliou as formas – e suas interseções – de violência física, psicológica e sexual sofridas e perpetradas pelas mulheres ao menos uma vez na vida. Resultados Estimou-se a prevalência das três formas de violência íntima praticadas contra a mulher (9,8%; IC95%: 7,5/12,1), pela mulher (4,5%; IC95%: 2,9/6.1) e nos casos que a mulher foi vítima ou perpetradora dos atos (13,1%; IC95%: 10,5/15,7), assumindo-se neste trabalho como violência no casal. Conclusão Na tentativa de melhor entender a dinâmica da violência íntima, seria oportuno considerar a mobilidade de papéis na relação do casal para além da demarcação de gênero – histórica e por vezes imobilizadora – entre vítima e agressor.

Purpose: Our study was conducted to estimate intimate partner violence (IPV) prevalence and associated factors among trans and cisgender women at risk of or living with HIV during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and August 2020 through telephone surveys with cisgender and trans women enrolled in two cohort studies in Rio de Janeiro. We assessed IPV employing the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale during the initial months of shelter-in-place ordinances. Regression models evaluated the factors associated with IPV for each population. Results: We surveyed 796 women, and 341 participants (47.78%) were eligible and included in the current analysis. All cisgender women and 41 (64.06%) trans women were living with HIV. Overall IPV prevalence was 27.86% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 23.34–32.88). IPV was 63% higher among trans women than among cisgender women (prevalence ratio 1.63, 95% CI 1.14–2.34, p =0.008). Loneliness was significantly associated with IPV in both groups. Younger age and binge drinking were associated with IPV prevalence among trans women. For cisgender women, IPV was associated with withdrawal of cash transfer programs during the shelter-in-place. Conclusion: Trans women experienced significantly more IPV than cisgender women in the early phase of the COVID-19 epidemic. Plans to prevent and address violence against cisgender and trans women, especially those with heightened vulnerability that may be associated with living with HIV, are needed in public health planning for future pandemics.

Resumo OBJETIVO Analisar as relações entre a presença e a orientação da Atenção Primária à Saúde e as internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária em um hospital universitário. MÉTODO Estudo seccional com amostra de 197 sujeitos internados no período de março a junho de 2016 na clínica médica de um hospital universitário de Juiz de Fora. A aferição, realizada por meio de entrevistas, utilizou o Primary Health Care Assessment Tool, versão reduzida para adultos, e a lista brasileira de condições sensíveis, editada pelo Ministério da Saúde. RESULTADOS A frequência regular à Atenção Primária esteve associada às internações (RP:2,06), especialmente frente ao baixo desempenho dos atributos de acesso (RP:5,3) e da integralidade (RP:4,7). CONCLUSÃO A baixa orientação dos atributos da Atenção Primária sugere que somente a cobertura deste nível talvez não seja suficiente para reduzir estas internações, mas a forma que ela se organiza e efetiva no nível comunitário.
