RESUMEN
This data article describes the dataset of the International COVID-19 Impact on Parental Engagement Study (ICIPES). ICIPES is a collaborative effort of more than 20 institutions to investigate the ways in which, parents and caregivers built capacity engaged with children's learning during the period of social distancing arising from global COVID-19 pandemic. A series of data were collected using an online survey conducted in 23 countries and had a total sample of 4,658 parents/caregivers. The description of the data contained in this article is divided into two main parts. The first part is a descriptive analysis of all the items included in the survey and was performed using tables and figures. The second part refers to the construction of scales. Three scales were constructed and included in the dataset: 'parental acceptance and confidence in the use of technology', 'parental engagement in children's learning' and 'socioeconomic status'. The scales were created using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Multi-Group Confirmatory Analysis (MG-CFA) and were adopted to evaluate their cross-cultural comparability (i.e., measurement invariance) across countries and within sub-groups. This dataset will be relevant for researchers in different fields, particularly for those interested in international comparative education.
RESUMEN
Este artículo resume el informe final de la investigación que lleva como título: "Apropiación del Principio de Precaución en las políticas públicas sanitarias: caso Plan Nacional de Salud Pública de Colombia", el cual está centrado en el estudio del Principio de Precaución y su incidencia en las políticas públicas sanitarias de la legislación colombiana. La investigación se centró en la revisión tanto de la historia de tal principio en la legislación internacional, fundamentalmente en las convenciones sobre medio ambiente, como en la exploración conceptual que se ha hecho del principio y su relación con la salud pública, especialmente en lo que refiere al Plan Nacional de Salud Pública, determinando la apropiación o no del principio en tal política. Aparece en escena y como correlato investigativo una apertura conceptual del concepto de salud y del concepto de riesgo, los cuales se involucran en la discusión para poder determinar la efectiva incidencia de la precaución en la legislación colombiana. La pretensión de este artículo es, entonces, mostrar de manera sintética cada uno de los puntos a los que hace referencia la investigación misma, esto es, los orígenes y el contexto del Principio de Precaución, las aproximaciones conceptuales que se han hecho acerca de él, su relación específica con la legislación colombiana, los vínculos que éste tiene dentro del complejo concepto de la salud pública y su correspondencia particular en el Plan Nacional de Salud Pública en Colombia. El análisis realizado permitió identificar algunos criterios útiles para determinar el grado de apropiación del Principio de Precaución de una política pública sanitaria. En este sentido se encontró que en el país sí existe legislación que propende por la inclusión del Principio de Precaución en las normas, pero el actual Plan Nacional de Salud Pública no lo contempla ni explícita ni implícitamente.
This article summarizes the final report of the research entitled "Apropiación del Principio de Precaución en las políticas públicas sanitarias: caso Plan Nacional de Salud Pública de Colombia" which is focused on the study of the Precautionary Principle and its incidence on public health policy of the Colombian legislation. The research covered the historical review of such principle in international legislation, especially on the environmental conventions. It also studied the conceptual exploration that has been carried out on the principle and its relationship with public health, particularly in regards to the Colombian National Public Health Plan, determining the principles acquisition or not in such plan. As parallel research points, the concepts of health and risk are treated, which come into play in this discussion in order to determine the effective incidence of precaution in the Colombian legislation. What this article intends is to show, in a synthetic way, each of the points to which the research itself makes reference, the origins and context of the Precautionary Principle; the conceptual approaches that have been used for its study, its specific relationship with Colombian legislation; the links that this principle has inside the complex concept of Public Health; and, its particular correspondence in the National Public Health Plan in Colombia. The analysis identified some useful criteria for determining the acquisition level of the Precautionary Principle of a public health policy in Colombia. In this sense, the results showed that the country possesses legislation that favors the inclusion of the Precautionary Principle within the norms, but the current National Public Health Plan does not contemplate it, neither implicitly nor explicitly.
