“…Identification of violence in families is a major challenge. Thus, both the development of new and more accurate instruments and the improvement of existing ones for use at the clinical or research level have received worldwide attention, in addition to becoming the focus of several research groups (Aldarondo & Straus, 1994;Archer, 1999;Blinn-Pike & Mingus, 2000;Milner, 1994;Straus et al, 1998;Straus & Hamby, 1997;Weiss et al, 2000).…”

This paper highlights the epidemiological surveillance of venomous bites and stings according to four national information systems: SINAN (National Databank of Major Causes of Morbidity), SINITOX (National Information System on Poisoning), SIH-SUS (Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System), and SIM (Mortality Information System). The authors conclude that each information system has specific characteristics and addresses different demands. Although they contain large amounts of data, even if combined they fail to reflect the real magnitude of disorders caused by venomous bites and stings in the country.

“…Three studies reported on the development and validation of screening tools that were not linked to follow-on services [ 35 , 41 , 42 ]. Whilst the studies reported that screening tools were feasible, the lack of follow-on services means conclusions about whether they impacted on public health or ambulance sector outcomes could not be assessed.…”

“…Thirteen studies described and evaluated screening tools and referral pathways used by the ambulance sector [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Eleven used observational study designs [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][40][41][42], and one study (based on two papers) reported a randomised controlled trial [38,39].…”

Background With millions of unscheduled patient contacts every year and increasing call outs clustered around the most deprived communities, it is clear the ambulance sector could have a role to play in improving population health. However, the application and value of a public health approach within the ambulance sector has not been comprehensively explored. A scoping review was undertaken to explore the role of the ambulance sector in the delivery of public health interventions and what impact this has on population health and ambulance sector outcomes. Methods A search strategy was developed on MEDLINE and translated to other major medical and health related bibliographic databases (Embase; CINAHL; HMIC; Science and Social Sciences Citation Index; Cochrane Library) to identify literature published since 2000 in OECD countries. Targeted grey literature, reference list, and citation searching was also carried out. Search results were downloaded to Microsoft Excel and screened by three reviewers according to pre-determined inclusion / exclusion criteria. Data from included studies, such as the type of activity noted within the paper, the population involved and the public health approach that was utilised, was extracted from within the paper using a data extraction form and narratively synthesised. Results Fifty-two references were included in the final review (37 database searching; 9 reference list searching; 6 grey literature). Included articles were categorised according to the relevant public health domains and subdomains as articulated by the UK Faculty of Public Health: Health improvement domain: Public health education and advice (Health promotion sub-domain) (n=13) Emergency Services personnel providing vaccines (Disease prevention sub-domain) (n=1) Health care public health domain Paramedicine (Service delivery sub-domain) (n=30) Screening tools and referral pathways used by the ambulance sector (Service delivery sub-domain) (n=28) Health intelligence using ambulance sector data (population health management sub-domain) (n=26) Of note, some domains (e.g. health protection) returned nil results. Discussion The scoping review demonstrates the breadth of public health related activities in which the ambulance sector is involved. However, an overemphasis on demand management outcomes precludes definitive conclusions on the impact of ambulance sector-led public health initiatives on public health outcomes. Future evaluations of public health initiatives should incorporate wider health system perspectives beyond the immediately apparent remit of the ambulance sector.

“…Um dos principais desafios a enfrentar no campo da violência familiar é a identificação adequada dos eventos. Incentivos vêm sendo dados à elaboração de novos e mais acurados instrumentos de aferição, bem como ao aprimoramento dos já habitualmente utilizados no âmbito clínico e em contextos de pesquisa (Aldarondo & Straus, 1994;Archer, 1999;Milner, 1994;Straus & Hamby, 1997;Straus et al, 1998;Weiss et al, 2000). Aceitando-se que é de grande interesse comparar perfis epidemiológicos de diferentes culturas, vários autores recomendam que um instrumento consolidado em um certo contexto seja somente utilizado em outro após uma rigorosa adaptação que permita ligar e harmonizar os construtos e dimensões subjacentes (Behling & Law, 2000;Guillemin et al, 1993;Herdman et al, 1998;Reichenheim & Moraes, 2002).…”

This article concerns the first phase of the assessment of the cross-cultural equivalence between the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales (CTSPC) designed in English and used to identify child abuse and neglect, and a Portuguese-language version to be used in Brazil. Evaluating conceptual and item equivalences involved expert groups. Assisted by a broad literature review, discussions focused on the existence and pertinence of the underlying theoretical concepts and the corresponding component items in the Brazilian context. The appraisal of semantic equivalence involved the following steps: two translations and respective back-translations; an evaluation regarding referential (literal) and general (meaning) equivalences between the original instrument and each version; further discussions with experts in order to produce a final version; and pre-testing the latter on 774 women. It proved possible to establish a satisfactory conceptual, item, and semantic equivalence between the Portuguese-language version and the original CTSPC. Acceptability of the version was excellent. Albeit encouraging, results should be reassessed in the light of forthcoming psychometric analysis (measurement equivalence), as well as through ongoing criticism from interested professionals.

Abstract: Emergency medical technicians can complete the DVSAS at the end of a transport with good agreement with results obtained by an independent observer at the scene. The DVSAS is able to reflect the results of the AAS with moderate to good agreement.
