O presente estudo avaliou a cobertura de vacinação antipólio, DPT, BCG e anti-sarampo em crianças de um ano de idade, na área urbana do municipio de Teresina (Piauí), em 1983. Dois métodos de amostragem, o de Henderson e Sundaresan¹ e uma modificação deste foram utilizados posteriormente comparados quanto aos resultados. A análise de alguns indicadores sociais, como escolaridade dos pais e número de moradores e de crianças do domicílio, nos permitiu estabelecer diferenças entre os grupos de crianças que completaram e as que não completaram o quadro de imunizações. Uma parte do trabalho dirigiu-se para a identificação dos principais motivos apontados pelas mães por não terem completado a vacinação de suas crianças. The objective of the present study was to estimate the immunization coverage of polio, triplice, BCG and measles in children one year of age in the urban area of the municipality of Teresina (Piauí), in 1983. Two sampling methods were used. Henderson and Sundaresan¹ and an adaptation of the first and the results were later compared. An analysis was carried out to discriminate those children who had completed their vaccinations from those who had failed to do so, based on social indicators such as education of the parents and number of residents and children in each household. Part of the study focused on the principal motives given by the mother for not having vaccinated their children
The objective of the article was to assess methodologies published and applied in calculating mortality attributable to smoking. A review of the literature was made for the period 1990 to 2006, in the electronic databases MEDLINE and LILACS. A total of 186 studies were found, which measured mortality based on calculating the smoking-attributable risk. Of these, a total of 41 were selected. The studies that were carried out in the United States and Canada presented a more standard methodology and reported smoking attributable mortality to be 18%-23%, with male mortality being 25%-29% and female mortality 14%-17%. The variations can be attributed to methodological differences and to different estimates of the main tobacco-related illnesses.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
