“…Generally, the branca (white), preta (black), and parda (mixed-race) categories are such that parda occupies an intermediate position between the white and black skin tones [ 34 ], encompassing various popular denominations for mestizos [ 36 ]. This classification is complex, involved in many debates about its limits [ 37 – 42 ], but it has been consistent in the survey of racial inequalities [ 43 ]. Besides being used in the Brazilian census, several studies use this classification to allow comparisons.…”

Racial discrimination has been associated with worse health status and risky health behavior. Understanding the relationship between racial-based bullying (RBB) — an overlap of bullying and interpersonal racial discrimination — and substance use can guide school-based actions to prevent bullying and substance use, but investigations rarely involve Brazilian students. We used data from the National Survey of School Health (PeNSE) 2015, which included 102,072 ninth-grade students from the capital and inland cities in the five regions of Brazil. Students self-reported their race/skin color according to the Brazilian official census. We explored racial and recent RBB differences in recent use of alcohol, tobacco, and other substances [marijuana, cocaine, crack, sniffed glue, loló/lança-perfume (ether and chloroform blend)] by comparing prevalence ratios (estimated with quasi -Poisson, crude, and adjusted models by demographic and socioeconomic characteristics) obtained from analyses of imputed data and complete case. We found that RBB prevalence increased according to racial categories associated with darker skin tones; racial differences in the prevalence of RBB were greater among girls than boys. Girls from all racial groups consistently had a higher prevalence of alcohol use than boys. RBB partially explained the recent use of alcohol and tobacco for the minority racial groups and was not associated with the use of other substances. School-based actions should explicitly incorporate anti-racist goals as strategies for substance use prevention, giving particular attention to gender issues in racial discrimination and alcohol use.

“…The titles and abstracts of the selected articles presented a variety of terms ranging from "race/color" to "race/ color ethnicity" and "race/skin color" -the latter may be in contradiction with historical feminists when they thought about the "color" to bring to the fore the social dimensions of health inequalities. In this sense, recommendations for adopting the "race/color" in the titles and descriptors of health publications would be appropriate 21 .…”

“…Cruz 28 believes that words should establish clearly demarcated concepts instead of vague concepts with disparate meanings, which was pointed out by Ribeiro et al 29 to refer to the definition of race and other concepts related to the black population. In the specific theme of the black population, some recommendations are made to use the terms properly 21,30 . Flanagin et al 30 affirm that terminology, use, and word choice are critical since inclusive language supports diversity and conveys respect, which points to the urgent need to update the indexing databases through their controlled vocabularies to ensure representativeness of all population groups.…”

The article presents a perspective on the Brazilian scientific production on the health of the black population (SPN) published in scientific journals. We performed a rapid scoping review combined with thematic and bibliometric analysis. Our search included four indexed databases. We retrieved 519 studies in line with the thematic axes and strategic underlying themes of the Agenda of Research Priorities of the Ministry of Health and the guidelines of the National Policy for the Comprehensive Health of the Black Population. The data mainly returned quantitative studies published from 1969 to 2022. Sixty-five of the selected studies were explicitly about the black population and 54 about the quilombola population. The analysis of the most recurrent terms in the titles of the selected studies evidenced that epidemiological aspects and health and disease conditions prevailed. We observed limitations in the currently available indexing descriptors, which do not cover the most conceptually appropriate terminology. This paper consolidates knowledge about the SPN-related scientific production. It supports the discussion on a propositional priority research agenda to improve health policies for this population, overcome racism, and denounce rights violations.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy, potential, and limits of probabilistic data relationships to yield information on deaths according to sex identity and sexual orientation in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Methods: This study evaluated the accuracy of the probabilistic relationship of data to obtain information on deaths according to gender and sexual orientation. Data from two information systems were used from June 15, 2015 to December 31, 2020. We constructed nine probabilistic data relationship strategies and identified the performance and cutoff points of the best strategy. Results: The best data blocking strategy was established through logical blocks with the first and last names, birthdate, and mother's name in the pairing strategy. With a population base of 80,178 records, 1556 deaths were retrieved. With an area under the curve of 0.979, this strategy presented 93.26% accuracy, 98.46% sensitivity, and 90.04% specificity for the cutoff point ≥ 17.9 of the data relationship score. The adoption of the cutoff point optimized the manual review phase, identifying 2259 (90.04%) of the 2509 false pairs and identifying 1532 (98.46%) of the 1556 true pairs. A crude mortality rate of 19.11 deaths per 1,000 people was observed, where women who had sex with women, transvestites, and transgender women had higher mortality rates than heterosexual cisgender women. Neither men nor men with gender markers had higher mortality rates than heterosexual cisgender women. Conclusion: With the identification of possible strategies for determining probabilistic data relationships, the retrieval of information on mortality according to sexual and sex markers has become feasible. Based on information from the daily routine of health services, the formulation of public policies that consider the LGBT+ population more closely reflects the reality experienced by these population groups.
