“…The fact that men reported more experiences of discrimination in health services may be explained by the hypothesis that such services are much more receptive to women despite their social status, probably because they are the main users of those services [ 17 ]. The fact that younger and poorer men felt more discriminated against in the health services may be related both to the stereotype of marginalization commonly reported in the media, where police news often depict young men with signs that associate them with the poorer strata, and to a higher awareness by these young men with regard to their rights, since they are frequent targets of discriminatory attitudes in public spaces [ 18 ]. In addition, health services may be perceived by these young men as unfamiliar environments.…”

BackgroundThis paper aims to compare the classification of race/skin color based on the discrete categories used by the Demographic Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and a skin color scale with values ranging from 1 (lighter skin) to 10 (darker skin), examining whether choosing one alternative or the other can influence measures of self-evaluation of health status, health care service utilization and discrimination in the health services.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study based on data from the World Health Survey carried out in Brazil in 2003 with a sample of 5000 individuals older than 18 years. Similarities between the two classifications were evaluated by means of correspondence analysis. The effect of the two classifications on health outcomes was tested through logistic regression models for each sex, using age, educational level and ownership of consumer goods as covariables.ResultsBoth measures of race/skin color represent the same race/skin color construct. The results show a tendency among Brazilians to classify their skin color in shades closer to the center of the color gradient. Women tend to classify their race/skin color as a little lighter than men in the skin color scale, an effect not observed when IBGE categories are used. With regard to health and health care utilization, race/skin color was not relevant in explaining any of them, regardless of the race/skin color classification. Lack of money and social class were the most prevalent reasons for discrimination in healthcare reported in the survey, suggesting that in Brazil the discussion about discrimination in the health care must not be restricted to racial discrimination and should also consider class-based discrimination. The study shows that the differences of the two classifications of race/skin color are small. However, the interval scale measure appeared to increase the freedom of choice of the respondent.

“…This will occur especially because such experiences are marked by a specific context and are seen as subjective; the items for the discrimination scale can be derived from the reports organized in the Table, given its recurrence in the groups; the reason why participants suppose they have been discriminated against can be multiple and associated with one another. 3 In this way, the future scale will enable more than one motivation to be indicated for a certain discriminatory experience; during the contact with focus group participants, it was not possible to reach a consensus on the possibility of organizing different experiences of discrimination in a scale of intensity. This aspect makes it difficult to immediately design a map of the construct, as recommended in the literature 14 and theorized in the case of racial discrimination; 2 and participants also see themselves as perpetrators of discrimination.…”

OBJECTIVE:To understand experiences of discrimination lived by undergraduate students and to analyze their applicability to the construction of a Brazilian discrimination scale. METHODOLOGICAL PROCEDURES:In a qualitative study five focus groups were conducted with 43 university students from the city of Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil, in 2008. Students from undergraduate courses with different candidate/place ratios; of both sexes; self-identified as white, mixed or black; and belonging to two public higher education institutions were selected. An interview guide focusing on issues related to "prejudice" and "discrimination" and asking participants about their experiences of discrimination was used. The method of interpretation of meanings was adopted, seeking to understand the context, reasons and logics of participants' speech. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS:Prejudice was interpreted as something belonging to the field of ideas, probably equivocated, and which could be either positive or negative. Discrimination was attributed to the field of observable behaviors and with an invariably negative connotation. The interpretation of a discriminatory event as such was influenced by subjective factors, such as personal interests and the level of affectivity established between individuals. However, the limit between what was interpreted as discriminatory or not depended strongly on the specific context in which the interaction among individuals occurred. Different situations and, at times, more than one motivation were simultaneously indicated as regards discriminatory experiences. Participants saw themselves as both victims and perpetrators of discrimination.

“…Tais experiências não tiveram um motivo único para a discriminação. Pelo contrário, os múltiplos motivos foram relatados de forma associada, confirmando a complexidade do fenômeno e a possibilidade de serem experienciados simultaneamente por suas vítimas 23,32,34 .…”

Introdução: A discriminação é um fenômeno injusto, evitável e desnecessário que pode afetar negativamente a vida e a saúde das pessoas e que ainda está muito presente no cotidiano da sociedade. Objetivo: Compreender experiências discriminatórias relatadas por estudantes universitários de uma capital no sul do Brasil. Metodologia: Estudo exploratório de abordagem qualitativa realizado por meio de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, gravadas e transcritas, com estudantes de graduação vinculados a cursos com distintas relações candidato/vaga, com diversidade quanto ao sexo, idade, cor da pele/raça e etapa da formação (n=15). O material textual foi interpretado pela técnica da análise temática de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultado: Experiências discriminatórias vivenciadas e/ou presenciadas estiveram presentes nos depoimentos de 14 dos 15 estudantes, os quais reconheceram a discriminação como um comportamento que expressa diferenças de tratamento em relação ao outro por determinadas características, implicando ofensa, prejuízo e exclusão social das vítimas. Nas experiências discriminatórias presenciadas, as que envolveram pessoas próximas dos estudantes, de seu núcleo familiar, foram as que mais os afetaram. Foram relatados múltiplos motivos associados à discriminação, em meio a situações nas quais os estudantes se identificaram tanto como vítimas quanto perpetradores de tratamentos injustos. O sentimento de solidariedade às vítimas da discriminação foi evidenciado pelo grupo. Conclusão: A universidade foi identificada como um espaço em que acontece a discriminação, especialmente por motivo sexual e por ser estudante de curso noturno. Estudos qualitativos têm potencial para contribuir com a compreensão da discriminação, auxiliando no desenvolvimento/validação de medidas quantitativas de fenômenos de ordem social.
