The accuracy and consistency of public health data in Brazilian information systems: Identification of gaps and challenges to be faced in a municipality in the Amazon region
Background: In Brazil, health conditions of public importance are notified by municipal health departments with a standardized flow using the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (Sinan). This information goes through a process of consolidation and transfer to DataSUS, the national system that centralizes health information in Brazil. This study assessed whether there are quantitative differences between notified health conditions thro…
Digital Evaluation of Undergraduates’ Knowledge about Scientific Research in Databases during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: COVID-19 pandemic times forced health education to go online, and, due to this necessity, long-term difficulties in education such as bibliographic search in databases like PubMed might have worsened even when platforms such as PubMed provide helping mechanisms to the user. These difficulties or even complete lack of knowledge are, unfortunately, not well documented in the literature. Therefore, this study aimed to describe doubts, la…
