| 2018 a Atual | Determinantes do desenvolvimento infantil em países de baixa e média renda: uma análise de inquéritos nacionais de saúde Os primeiros anos de vida são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento das qualidades físicas, cognitivas, e socioemocionais das crianças. Até os 5 anos as crianças desenvolvem habilidades básicas apropriadas para conseguir obter competências posteriores mais complexas. O objetivo deste trabalho será avaliar o desenvolvimento infantil em países de baixa e média renda com foco nos níveis de estimulação recebidos e identificar desigualdades entre países e entre subgrupos. Serão analisados inquéritos nacionais das séries Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey e Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), realizados em 61 países de baixa e média renda conforme a classificação do Banco Mundial. Será incluído o último inquérito de cada país que inclua o módulo de desenvolvimento infantil. O desenvolvimento infantil será avaliado através do Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI). O ECDI cobre quatro domínios de desenvolvimento (Alfabetização/Numérico, Físico, Socioemocional e Aprendizagem). As crianças são consideradas com desenvolvimento adequado quando apresentam um bom desempenho em pelo menos três dos quatro domínios. Este estudo pretende gerar evidência sobre a importância dos fatores determinantes do desenvolvimento adequado das crianças em um contexto de equidade. Também iremos explorar mediação usando métodos de inferência causal. Estudos como este são importantes porque o desenvolvimento na primeira infância está associado com mudanças importantes no desenvolvimento neural e no desenvolvimento do capital social posterior; finalmente, para que as crianças se tornarem adultos economicamente bem-sucedidos e produtivos.

| 2017 a Atual | Perfil do microbioma intestinal em adolescentes da coorte de nascimento de Pelotas de 2004 Microorganismos intestinais interagem com o metabolismo do hospedeiro por meio da extração de energia dos alimentos e da produção de determinados nutrientes. A composição da microbiota intestinal no início da vida pode potencialmente influenciar o crescimento e o risco de desenvolver futuras patologias, como atopia e obesidade. O objetivo primário do presente projeto consiste em coletar material fecal dos participantes da coorte de nascimentos de Pelotas de 2004 aos 12-13 anos com o intuito de futuramente avaliar a composição do microbioma intestinal e sua associação com trajetórias de crescimento, composição corporal e condições de saúde e socioeconômicas. Amostras de fezes serão coletadas e armazenadas em condições que garantem a estabilidade do material em longo prazo. Futuramente, pretende-se extrair o DNA das amostras e avaliar a composição da microbiota intestinal por meio de sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA.

| 2016 a Atual | Pesquisa epidemiológica baseada na web: estratégias e características pessoais associadas à adesão e participação de adultos jovens As pesquisas epidemiológicas sempre contribuíram para importantes achados na área de saúde. Para que estes achados possam ser traduzidos em políticas públicas, é importante que as pesquisas epidemiológicas sejam conduzidas com rigor metodológico em vista de maximizar sua validade. Um fator que pode comprometer a validade desses achados é o constante declínio nas taxas de resposta, influenciado por diversos fatores, entre eles o método de coleta de dados. Com o aumento do acesso à internet, bem como do seu número de usuários, conduzir pesquisas epidemiológicas via web pode ser uma boa alternativa. Apesar disso, novos desafios surgem com essa nova metodologia de pesquisa, como o melhor método de recrutamento a ser utilizado, questões de representatividade das amostras, desenho dos questionários e maneiras eficientes de motivar a participação dos indivíduos nas pesquisas aplicadas via web. Levando isso em consideração, o objetivo deste projeto é desenvolver uma plataforma que contenha o ambiente completo para condução de pesquisas epidemiológicas via web, visando investigar a viabilidade de sua condução e explorar estratégias para maximizar as taxas de contato e resposta dos questionários aplicados via web. Serão convidados a participar da plataforma os membros da coorte de nascimentos de 1993 de Pelotas que participaram do acompanhamento dos 22/23 anos, e relataram ter acesso à internet. Para investigar a influência de diferentes metodologias sobre as taxas de contato e resposta, serão estudados diferentes métodos de recrutamento, tamanhos de questionário, frequências de lembrete e fornecimento de incentivos. Somado a isso, serão estudados fatores sociodemográficos associados à participação dos membros da coorte na plataforma web a ser desenvolvida.

| 2016 a Atual | Condições de saúde bucal aos 12 anos de idade na Coorte de Nascimentos de Pelotas de 2004: determinantes socioeconômicos, psicossociais, comportamentais e de acesso a serviços odontológicos ao longo do ciclo vital O presente projeto propõe-se a realizar o segundo acompanhamento de saúde bucal na Coorte de Nascimentos de 2004, no ano de 2017, momento em que os participantes estarão com 12 anos de idade. Essa é a idade índice recomendada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde para estudos epidemiológicos. Entre os objetivos do estudo estão: 1. Contribuir com a elaboração ou formulação de políticas públicas no Brasil; 2. Compatibilizar os objetivos de pesquisa com as necessidades de curto, médio e longo prazo do Sistema Único de Saúde; 3. Investigar a relação entre eventos precoces e contemporâneos vividos por crianças desde o nascimento e a ocorrência de agravos bucais presentes aos 12 anos de idade; 4. Comparar os resultados obtidos com o levantamento realizado aos 12 anos de idade na Coorte de 1993, possibilitando também uma avaliação intergeracional; 5. Subsidiar a discussão sobre a transição da saúde bucal infantil na última década. Todos os adolescentes integrantes da Coorte de 2004 que participaram do acompanhamento de saúde bucal aos 5 anos de idade (N=1.303) serão elegíveis para o estudo aos 12 anos de idade. Os adolescentes serão examinados para avaliação de cárie dentária, problemas oclusais, lesões de tecido mole, traumatismos dentários e padrão de higiene bucal (sangramento, placa dental e cálculo dental). Por meio de um questionário estruturado, serão coletadas informações sobre comportamentos relacionados a saúde bucal, fatores psicossociais, acesso e utilização de serviços odontológicos e qualidade de vida relacionada a saúde bucal. As entrevistas serão realizadas com o responsável principal do adolescente. As informações pré e perinatais, de desenvolvimento infantil, características demográficas e socioeconômicas, serão obtidas a partir dos acompanhamentos anteriores da Coorte de 2004. O trabalho de campo será realizado por uma equipe de dentistas e anotadores, com supervisão dos investigadores. Para divulgação dos resultados, prevê-se apresentações em reuniões e eventos científicos nacionais e internacionais, relatórios técnicos para agências financiadoras e órgãos gestores e de políticas de saúde, artigos científicos em revistas de livre acesso e divulgação para gestores locais e nacionais. Pretende-se também envolver a participação de alunos de mestrado e doutorado no projeto.

| 2015 a Atual | Equity analyses on adolescent health and family planning The proposed work includes two related tasks, each of which will lead to a set of results. 1) Equity analyses of health and empowerment of girls and women. We will attempt to develop an ?index of women?s empowerment?, based on the analyses of existing data from demographic and health surveys in priority geographies (Ethiopia; Indian states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh; and Nigeria, including the foundation?s six priority states and Gombe). This index will then be cross-tabulated against a number of indicators of health, nutrition and services utilization among adolescents and older women. The results will contribute to landscaping analyses to be carried out by the BMGF project team and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) aimed at generating a pro-women and girls policy framework. 2) Analyses of who is not being reached by family planning. Data from recent surveys in approximately 100 low and middle income countries will be analyzed to identify the characteristics of women who are not being reached by modern contraceptives, in terms of place of residence, age, education, wealth and other sociodemographic characteristics. These analyses will be complemented by studying rates of progress in adoption of modern contraceptives by country, and according to subnational characteristics of women. The results will contribute to inform the Foundation?s family planning strategies and investments. Integrantes: Aluísio Jardim Dornellas de Barros (coordenador), Cesar Gomes Victora. |

| 2014 a Atual | Observatório Global de Desigualdades em Saúde Materno-Infantil O rápido aumento da informação de saúde permite análises globais em que os países são as unidades de estudo. As estimativas nacionais dos indicadores de saúde, no entanto, muitas vezes escondem desigualdades importantes. O presente estudo tem como objetivo expandir esse campo analisando sistematicamente níveis e tendências em subgrupos populacionais definidos por riqueza , sexo, etnia, residência urbana / rural e região do país. O foco principal será a saúde e nutrição de crianças, bem como a saúde das mães. O estudo abordará quatro perguntas de pesquisa: 1) Monitoramento. Como estão os indicadores de saúde da criança (cobertura da intervenção, nutrição e mortalidade) e sua evolução ao longo do tempo em diferentes subgrupos populacionais em países de renda média e baixa? 2) Interpretação / Avaliação. Como podemos explicar as recentes tendências em saúde e nutrição de diferentes subgrupos de crianças? Como estas tendências são afetadas por grandes iniciativas e programas internacionais, e crises ambientais, alimentares e financeiras? 3) Projeções. Se as tendências atuais se mantiverem, quais serão as consequências a longo prazo sobre saúde e nutrição das crianças? 4) Tradução . A fim de promover a tomada de decisões baseada em evidências que leva em conta não apenas os problemas de saúde atual, mas antecipa desenvolvimentos futuros, como podemos disseminar estes resultados rapidamente para políticos, gestores e profissionais de saúde?
