Oceanic Influence on Seasonal Malaria Incidence in West Africa
Climate variability is a key factor in driving malaria outbreaks. As shown in previous studies, climate-driven malaria modeling provides a better understanding of malaria transmission dynamics, generating malaria-related parameters validated as a reliable benchmark to assess the impact of climate on malaria. In this framework, the present study uses climate observations and reanalysis products to evaluate the predictability of malaria incidence i…
Challenges to the improvement of Colombian medical brigades aimed at the diagnosis of congenital heart disease
Qualitative research of brigades and the family experience of congenital heart disease is of current interest and has been previously neglected. This study aimed to explore the social factors conditioning outcomes of paediatric cardiology care in the setting of Colombian medical brigades and to identify feasible strategies to improve the experience of the beneficiary populations.

Brigadas de salud en cardiología pediátrica
This article explores the sociocultural aspects of a program of pediatric cardiology health brigades that provides care to children from low-income populations in peripheral regions of Colombia. We analyzed the brigades as a humanitarian strategy to close the gaps of inequity in access to health care, and as a particular context of the medical encounter, the experience of heart disease and the definition of care trajectories. Based on ethnographi…
Self-reporting versus parental reporting of physical activity in adolescents
The aim of this study was to verify the agreement between different approaches for estimating levels of physical activity in adolescents. One questionnaire was administered to parents and two were administered to the adolescents. This was a cross-sectional analysis of data collected in the 2004-2005 follow-up of the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort study. Parents or guardians answered the following question: "Compared to most children the same …
An ecosystem perspective in the socio-cultural evaluation of dengue in two Colombian towns
Despite extensive public health efforts, dengue is still a major health concern in Colombia. The objective of this study was to provide an ecosystem and cross-disciplinary perspective on the dengue situation in two Colombian towns. The article focuses on presenting the anthropological methodology and research findings. An interdisciplinary team gathered quantitative (cross-sectional), meteorological, entomological, and qualitative data (based on …
An ecosystemic approach to evaluating ecological, socioeconomic and group dynamics affecting the prevalence of Aedes aegypti in two Colombian towns
This article focuses on the epidemiological methods and results of a global Ecohealth study that explored the complexity of the relationship between ecological, biological, economical, social and political factors and vector presence. The study was carried out in two dengue endemic areas of Colombia. A transdisciplinary team gathered quantitative and qualitative data. A survey in randomly sampled households was applied and, simultaneously, direct…
Contextos socioculturales de riesgo para contraer VIH en Cartagena
Although there has been increasing number of prevention programs in the city of Cartagena, the incidence of hiv has grown dramatically. Within this social context the purpose of this study is focused on the understanding of how a sociocultural context influences the notion of risk of hiv contagion. Also, taking into account the promotion of condoms as the most effective measure to prevent the infection, we discuss the sociocultural relevance of o…
El sentido del riesgo desde la antropología médica
El riesgo como categoría analítica no se limita a una probabilidad numérica como ha sido definido desde la salud pública, sino que en las sociedades modernas se ha construido como un eje central que ha permitido la tecnificación y el manejo del mismo, a la vez que ha adquirido significados sociales. Este texto tiene como objetivo comprender el origen y la construcción de la conceptualización del riesgo como categoría fundamental de los estudios e…
Dengue, políticas públicas y realidad sociocultural
Este artículo reflexiona sobre las políticas públicas del control del dengue a partir del mundo de la vida cotidiana, desde una perspectiva crítica que busca debatir el desarrollo de las mismas frente a las percepciones que tiene la población sobre la enfermedad. El texto debate, a partir de un estudio de caso en Colombia, el encuentro de dos realidades sociales: el sector oficial en cabeza de las campañas de salud pública, y la población, que de…
