STUDY OBJECTIVE: An association between rapid repeat pregnancy (RRP; occurring within a birth interval of up to 24 months) and undesirable obstetric and perinatal outcomes has been shown, especially among adolescents and women without adequate schooling. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the interaction between maternal schooling and age on the incidence of RRP. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, INTERVENTIONS, AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A nonconcurrent cohort study was carried out using probabilistic record linkage techniques. The 59,400 linked records of singleton live-born infants delivered in 2002 whose mothers were up to 29 years old and lived in Rio de Janeiro City were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared with young adults with adequate schooling, the adjusted risk ratio for RRP for adolescents with inadequate schooling was 2.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.8-2.4). The attributable proportion was 0.16 (95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.29). CONCLUSION: Young maternal age and inadequate schooling interact, increasing RRP.

OBJECTIVES: We investigated involvement and cooperation patterns of local Brazilian AIDS program actors and the consequences of these patterns for program implementation and sustainability. METHODS: We performed a public policy analysis (documentary analysis, direct observation, semistructured interviews of health service and nongovernmental organization [NGO] actors) in 5 towns in 2 states, São Paulo and Pará. RESULTS: Patterns suggested 3 models. In model 1, local government, NGOs, and primary health care services were involved in AIDS programs with satisfactory response to new epidemiological trends but a risk that HIV/AIDS would become low priority. In model 2, mainly because of NGO activism, HIV/AIDS remained an exceptional issue, with limited responses to new epidemiological trends and program sustainability undermined by political instability. In model 3, involvement of public agencies and NGOs was limited, with inadequate response to epidemiological trends and poor mobilization threatening program sustainability. CONCLUSIONS: Within a common national AIDS policy framework, the degree of involvement and cooperation between public and NGO actors deeply impacts population coverage and program sustainability. Specific processes are required to maintain actor mobilization without isolating AIDS programs.
