Urban and social determinants of alcohol and tobacco consumption among adolescents in Madrid.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the accessibility to and promotion of alcohol and tobacco around secondary schools in Madrid and its distribution in relation with area-level socioeconomic deprivation; analyze the relationship between this exposure and individual consumption characteristics of students between 14 and 18 years old; and explore other facilitators of this consumption. METHOD: Mixed-methods study conducted in three phases: 1) we collected data on accessibility to and promotion of alcohol and tobacco in the environment using systematic social observation around 55 secondary schools; 2) we administered 2287 questionnaires among the students in these centers to gather information about characteristics and determinants of consumption; and 3) we conducted 20 semi-structured interviews and one discussion group to deepen in the results obtained in surveys and systematic social observation. We will use Geographic Information Systems to integrate and analyze the data from a spatial perspective.

Análisis de la demanda asistencial desde atención primaria a traumatología: propuestas para la mejora del continuo asistencial / Analysis of the demand of care from Primary Care to Traumatology: Proposals for the improvement of the continuous care

Objetivo: Analizar las derivaciones dirigidas desde Atención Primaria a Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología. Como objetivo secundario, establecer 2escenarios de derivación, con el fin de conocer el impacto de la variabilidad en la derivación. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional de carácter transversal de análisis de las derivaciones de Atención Primaria a Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología durante el primer semestre de los años 2018, 2019 y 2021. Se ha examinado el número de derivaciones que emite cada facultativo y cada centro de salud de Atención Primaria, atendiendo a la clasificación de las distintas zonas básicas de salud. Resultados: Existe una gran variabilidad en el número de derivaciones, tanto según el tipo de zona básica de salud (p < 0,001) como por cada facultativo (p < 0,001). Las ratios de derivación se comportan de forma uniforme en el tiempo (p < 0,001). Debido al alto número de derivaciones, se han construido dosescenarios: en el primero de ellos la ratio de derivación se situaría en la zona media del espectro de la tasa de derivación. En el segundo escenario, se han tomado como referencia las menores ratios de derivación registradas. La reducción de la variabilidad en los 2escenarios supuestos proporciona una disminución importante de la demanda asistencial. Conclusiones: La reducción de la variabilidad tendría un efecto beneficioso sobre la capacidad asistencial del servicio de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología.

Objective: To analyze referrals from Primary Care consultation to Orthopaedic Surgery reference department. As a secondary objective, to establish 2referral scenarios in order to determine the impact of variability on referral. Material and methods: Cross-sectional observational study, analyzing referrals from Primary Care to Orthopaedic Surgery during the first half of the years 2018, 2019, and 2021. The number of referrals issued by each doctor and each Primary Care Healthcare Center was examined, according to the classification of the different Basic Healthcare Zones. Results: There is great variability in the number of referrals, both according to the type of Basic Healthcare Zone and by each Primary Care facultative. The referral ratios behaved uniformly over time (P<0.001). Due to a large number of referrals, 2scenarios have been constructed: In the first scenario, the referral ratio would be in the middle of the referral rate spectrum. In the second scenario, the lowest referral ratios recorded have been taken as a reference. The reduction of variability in the 2scenarios assumed provides a significant reduction in the demand for care. Conclusion: Reducing variability would have a beneficial effect on the capacity of the Orthopaedic Surgery service to provide care.(AU)

Mapeando as disparidades socioeconômicas de saúde urbana: um estudo comparativo entre seis capitais brasileiras / Mapping socioeconomic disparities in urban health: a comparative study of six Brazilian capitals / Mapeando las disparidades socioeconómicas de salud urbana: un estudio comparativo entre seis capitales brasileñas

Resumo A cidade é um modo de viver, pensar e sentir. O modo de vida urbano é capaz de produzir ideias, comportamentos, valores e conhecimentos, mas também pode acirrar disparidades socioeconômicas e de saúde da população que ali reside. Este artigo examina as disparidades em saúde urbana em seis capitais brasileiras: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte e Manaus. Para quantificar e mapear as disparidades intraurbanas nesses espaços, foram utilizados os dados do Censo Demográfico de 2010 para a aplicação do índice de saúde urbana (ISU), uma métrica que sintetiza oito diferentes variáveis socioeconômicas e de saneamento desagregadas por setores censitários. Os resultados são discutidos à luz de três vertentes teóricas: a diferenciação centro-periferia; abordagem econômica da saúde; e epidemiologia social. As descobertas desse estudo revelam que os setores censitários que abrangem populações com maior status socioeconômico e melhores condições de saneamento apresentaram índices de saúde urbana mais elevados do que os da periferia da cidade. Há indícios de melhores indicadores de saúde urbana para o Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, em comparação com as demais capitais analisadas. No entanto, há importantes nuances em cada uma das seis cidades estudadas, especialmente quando se atribuem diferentes pesos às variáveis que compõem o ISU, apesar da marcada segregação espacial comum a todas elas. Considerar as distinções dentro do espaço urbano é uma estratégia fundamental para a compreensão desses aspectos sociais e econômicos e seus potenciais desdobramentos nas condições de saúde da população.

Abstract A city is a way of living, thinking, and feeling. The urban lifestyle can produce ideas, behaviors, values, and knowledge. Still, it can also intensify socioeconomic and health disparities in the population. This article examines urban health disparities in six Brazilian capitals: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte, and Manaus. To quantify and map intra-urban disparities in these spaces, data from the 2010 Demographic Census are used to apply the Urban Health Index, a metric that synthesizes eight different socio-economic and sanitation variables disaggregated by census tracts. The results are discussed in light of three theoretical perspectives: center-periphery differentiation, the economic approach to health, and social epidemiology. The findings of this study reveal that census tracts covering populations with higher socio-economic status and better sanitation conditions exhibited higher urban health index scores than those in the city's periphery. Results indicate better urban health indicators for Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, compared to the other capitals analyzed. However, there are important nuances in each of the six cities, especially when assigning different weights to the variables that compose the Urban Health Index, despite the marked spatial segregation common to all. Considering distinctions within urban space is a fundamental strategy to understand these social and economic aspects and their potential implications for population health conditions.

Resumen La ciudad es una forma de vivir, pensar y sentir. El modo de vida urbano es capaz de producir ideas, comportamientos, valores y conocimientos, pero también lo es de intensificar las disparidades socioeconómicas y de salud de la población que reside en ella. Este artículo examina las disparidades en salud urbana en seis capitales brasileñas: São Paulo, Río de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte y Manaus. Para cuantificar y mapear las disparidades intraurbanas en estos espacios, se utilizan datos del censo demográfico de 2010 para aplicar el índice de salud urbana, una métrica que sintetiza ocho diferentes variables socioeconómicas y de saneamiento desagregadas por sectores censales. Los resultados se discuten a la luz de tres perspectivas teóricas: la diferenciación centro-periferia, el enfoque económico de la salud y la epidemiología social. Los hallazgos de este estudio revelan que los sectores censales que abarcan poblaciones con un mayor estatus socioeconómico y mejores condiciones de saneamiento presentaron puntajes más altos en el índice de salud urbana que los de la periferia de la ciudad. Hay indicios de mejores indicadores de salud urbana para Río de Janeiro y São Paulo, en comparación con las demás capitales analizadas. Sin embargo, se observan matices importantes en cada una de las seis ciudades analizadas, especialmente al asignar diferentes pesos a las variables que componen el pindice de salud urbana, a pesar de la marcada segregación espacial común a todas ellas. Considerar las distinciones dentro del espacio urbano es una estrategia fundamental para comprender estos aspectos sociales y económicos y sus posibles implicaciones en las condiciones de salud de la población.

Desordem física e social da vizinhança em cidades da América Latina: revisão de escopo / Desorden físico y social del vecindario en las ciudades de América Latina: revisión de alcance / Physical and social neighborhood disorder in Latin American cities: a scoping review

Resumo: A desordem da vizinhança é um importante aspecto que pode impactar a saúde de residentes em áreas urbanas. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram mapear e sistematizar os métodos de mensuração da desordem física e social na vizinhança em estudos realizados em cidades da América Latina. Por meio de revisão de escopo, foram mapeados artigos publicados a partir do ano 2000 em inglês, espanhol e português com os seguintes descritores: vizinhança, desordem física e desordem social. As buscas foram realizadas no MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), Scopus, Web of Science e Biblioteca Cochrane. Foram extraídas informações sobre autoria, ano, tipo de estudo, local, fonte de dados, população-alvo, desfecho, domínio, indicador, método, unidade geográfica e unidade de análise. As variáveis dos estudos relacionadas à desordem foram extraídas e agrupadas pela similaridade dos conteúdos e temas. Foram identificados 22 artigos, publicados entre 2012 e 2022, sendo a maioria do Brasil (n = 16). A percepção do indivíduo foi o método mais utilizado. O tema mais frequentemente abordado no domínio da desordem física foi vias públicas (n = 20), enquanto no domínio social foi segurança (n = 15). Detectou-se ausência de consenso na literatura quanto às variáveis utilizadas para aferir a desordem física e social da vizinhança em cidades da América Latina. Além da necessidade de padronização do tema, recomendam-se estudos que verifiquem a sustentabilidade de métodos de mensuração propostos, relevantes para classificar e comparar, de forma dinâmica, vizinhanças urbanas e os impactos na saúde com base nos níveis de exposição à desordem física e social.

Resumen: El desorden del vecindario es un aspecto importante que puede influir en la salud de los residentes en áreas urbanas. Los objetivos fueron mapear y sistematizar los métodos de medición del desorden físico y social en el vecindario en estudios realizados en ciudades de América Latina. Por medio de una revisión de alcance, fueron mapeados artículos publicados a partir del año 2000 en inglés, español y portugués, que poseían los siguientes descriptores: vecindario, desorden físico y desorden social. Las búsquedas se realizaron en MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS (Biblioteca Virtual en Salud), Scopus, Web of Science y Librería Cochrane. Se extrajeron informaciones sobre la autoría, el año, el tipo de estudio, la ubicación, la fuente de datos, la población objetivo, el resultado, el dominio, el indicador, el método, la unidad geográfica y la unidad de análisis. Las variables de los estudios relacionados con el desorden fueron extraídas y agrupadas por la similitud de los contenidos y temas. Fueron identificados 22 artículos, todos publicados entre 2012 y 2022, siendo la mayoría de Brasil (n = 16). La percepción del individuo fue el método más utilizado. El tema más frecuente abordado en el ámbito del desorden físico fue el de las vías públicas (n = 20) y seguridad (n = 15), en lo social. Se detectó una falta de consenso en la literatura en cuanto a las variables utilizadas para medir el desorden físico y social del vecindario en ciudades de América Latina. Además de la necesidad de estandarización del tema, se recomiendan estudios que verifiquen la sostenibilidad de los métodos de medición propuestos, relevantes para clasificar y comparar, de forma dinámica, los vecindarios urbanos y los impactos en la salud con base en niveles de exposición a desorden físico y social.

Abstract: Neighborhood disorder is an important aspect that may influence the health of residents in urban areas. The aims of this study were to map and systematize methods for measuring physical and social neighborhood disorder in studies conducted in Latin American cities. By means of a scoping review, articles published from 2000 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese with the following descriptors were mapped: neighborhood, physical disorder, and social disorder. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS (Virtual Health Library), Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Information on authorship, year, study type, locality, data source, target population, outcome, dominion, indicator, method, geographic unit, and unit of analysis was extracted. Variables from the disorder-related studies were extracted and grouped by similarity of content and themes. A total of 22 articles were identified, all published between 2012 and 2022, the majority in Brazil (n = 16). The perception of the individual was the most used method. The most frequent theme addressed in the physical disorder dominion was public streets (n = 20) and security (n = 15), in the social disorder dominion. A lack of consensus in the literature regarding variables used to measure physical and social neighborhood disorder in Latin American cities was detected. In addition to the need for standardization of the theme, studies to verify the sustainability of proposed measurement methods relevant to dynamically classify and compare urban neighborhoods and health impacts based on levels of exposure to physical and social disorder, are recommended.

Desarrollo de instrumentos para estudiar el impacto en salud de las transformaciones urbanas en contextos de elevada vulnerabilidad: el estudio RUCAS / Developing tools to study the health impact of urban transformations in high vulnerability contexts: the RUCAS study / Desenvolvimento de instrumentos para estudar o impacto na saúde das transformações urbanas em contextos de alta vulnerabilidade: o estudo RUCAS

Este artículo describe el proceso de diseño y las características de un cuestionario y una pauta de observación intradomiciliaria desarrollados para evaluar tanto transversal como longitudinalmente la relación vivienda-barrio-salud en el marco de transformaciones urbanas llevadas a cabo en poblaciones de elevada vulnerabilidad socio-territorial. Los instrumentos se desarrollaron para el estudio longitudinal multimétodos RUCAS (Regeneración Urbana, Calidad de Vida y Salud), un experimento natural cuyo objetivo principal es evaluar el impacto en salud y calidad de vida de un programa de Regeneración de Conjuntos Habitacionales en dos conjuntos de vivienda social en Chile. El diseño de los instrumentos siguió cuatro etapas principales: (1) revisión narrativa de la literatura para definir las dimensiones del estudio, y de instrumentos existentes para identificar ítems apropiados para su medición; (2) validación de contenido con expertos; (3) pre-test; y (4) estudio piloto. El cuestionario resultante, compuesto de 262 ítems, tiene en cuenta las distintas etapas del ciclo vital y cuestiones de género. La pauta de observación intradomiciliaria (77 ítems) es aplicada por el/la encuestadora. Los instrumentos abordan (i) características de la situación residencial actual que sabidamente afectan la salud y serán intervenidas por el programa; (ii) dimensiones de la salud potencialmente afectadas por la situación residencial y/o por la intervención dentro de los plazos del estudio (4 años); (iii) otras condiciones de salud y relacionadas con la salud que sean relevantes, aun cuando no se verán modificadas dentro de los plazos del estudio, y (iv) dimensiones socioeconómicas, ocupacionales y demográficas relevantes. Los instrumentos han mostrado ser una herramienta capaz de abordar la multidimensionalidad de los procesos de transformación urbana en contextos de pobreza urbana en vivienda formal.

This article describes the design and characteristics of a questionnaire and an intradomiciliary observation tool developed to assess the housing-neighborhood-health relationship both cross-sectionally and longitudinally in the context of urban transformations carried out in populations of high socio-territorial vulnerability. The instruments were developed for the multi-method longitudinal study RUCAS (Urban Regeneration, Quality of Life and Health), a natural experiment aiming to assess the quality of life and health impact of a comprehensive Urban Regeneration Program in two social housing complexes in Chile. The design of the instruments followed four main stages: (1) narrative review of the literature to define the dimensions of the study, and of existing measurement instruments to identify appropriate items for measuring them; (2) content validation with experts; (3) pre-test; and (4) pilot study. The resulting questionnaire, composed of 262 items, considers the different stages of the life course and gender issues. The intradomiciliary observation tool (77 items) is applied by the interviewer. The instruments assess (i) characteristics of the current residential situation that are known to affect health and will be intervened by the program; (ii) dimensions of health potentially affected by the residential situation and/or by the intervention within the time frame of the study (4 years); (iii) other health and health-related conditions that are relevant, even if changes will not be modified within the time frame of the study; and (iv) relevant socioeconomic, occupational and demographic dimensions. The instruments have shown to be capable of addressing the multidimensionality of urban transformation processes in contexts of urban poverty in formal housing.

Este artigo descreve o processo de desenho e as características de um questionário e uma diretriz de observação intradomiciliar desenvolvida para avaliar, tanto transversal quanto longitudinalmente, a relação moradia-vizinhança-saúde no âmbito das transformações urbanas realizadas em populações de alta vulnerabilidade sócio-territorial. Os instrumentos foram desenvolvidos para o estudo longitudinal multimétodo RUCAS (Regeneração Urbana, Qualidade de Vida e Saúde), uma experiência natural destinada a avaliar a relação moradia-vizinhança-saúde e o impacto na saúde de um programa de regeneração habitacional em dois conjuntos habitacionais sociais no Chile. A concepção dos instrumentos seguiu quatro etapas principais: (1) revisão narrativa da literatura para definir as dimensões do estudo, e dos instrumentos existentes para identificar itens apropriados para a medição; (2) validação do conteúdo com especialistas; (3) pré-teste; e (4) estudo piloto. O questionário resultante, composto de 262 itens, leva em conta diferentes estágios do ciclo de vida e questões de gênero. A diretriz de observação intradomiciliar (77 itens) é aplicada pelo entrevistador. Os instrumentos abordam (i) características da situação atual da moradia que são conhecidas por afetar a saúde e serão intervencionadas pelo programa; (ii) dimensões da saúde potencialmente afetadas pela moradia e/ou pela intervenção dentro do prazo do estudo (4 anos); (iii) outras condições de saúde e relacionadas à saúde que são relevantes, mesmo que não sejam modificadas dentro do prazo do estudo; e (iv) dimensões sócioeconômicas, ocupacionais e demográficas relevantes. Os instrumentos projetados demonstraram ser uma ferramenta capaz de abordar a multidimensionalidade dos processos de transformação urbana em contextos de pobreza urbana na habitação formal.

Herramienta Entornos de Vida: innovación en el análisis participativo de salud con enfoque de equidad / Entornos de Vida tool: innovation in participatory health analysis with an equity approach

Los gobiernos municipales tienen capacidad para abordar los determinantes sociales de la salud que actúan sobre sus territorios. La estrategia de acción local en red de la Comunitat Valenciana promueve un abordaje intersectorial, participativo y con enfoque de equidad de las desigualdades en salud resultantes de la distribución de estos determinantes en los barrios y municipios. Para orientar la acción local en salud se requieren metodologías que recojan los conocimientos y las experiencias de la comunidad, y que favorezcan su participación en todas las etapas de la acción. Esta nota metodológica expone cómo llevar a cabo el proceso de evaluación de un territorio aplicando la herramienta Entornos de Vida. Este instrumento permite analizar los barrios y municipios identificando de forma específica y operativa cómo sus características impactan en la salud y en el bienestar de las personas que los habitan.(AU)

Objective: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation to the Spanish context of the Place Standard tool to undertake participatory evaluations in place-based communities. Method: A back-translation method was used to obtain an adapted version of the original Place Standard tool. The translated version was reviewed by a multidisciplinary committee of experts and validated using the Delphi method. Results: The final version of the adapted Place Standards tool (Entornos de Vida in Spanish) consists of 14 dimensions and 99 items. 21% of the items presented semantic difficulties during the translation. Total consensus through the Delphi panel was reached on 72% of the items. The analysis resulted in changes to the wording, and organization of the items, and the inclusion of new or modified questions to reflect the characteristics of the Spanish context. Conclusions: The validation of the Entornos de Vida tool will enable the evaluation of place-based communities characteristics/physical and socio-economic contexts in a participatory and equitable manner that focuses on social determinants of health. Its application in scenarios that take into account processes of local health action will support the practice of health promotion and equity, and centre the attention and action on the physical and socio-economic contexts with the aim to learn how places and municipal policies can affect health and well-being.

La experiencia del trabajo con datos de movilidad para detectar desigualdades durante la pandemia de COVID-19 / The experience of working with mobility data in order to detect inequalities during COVID-19 pandemic

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha representado una de las crisis sanitarias más importantes del último siglo en España y en todo el mundo. Entre las medidas desplegadas para mitigarla se encuentran específicamente las de reducción de la movilidad para disminuir la transmisión comunitaria. Estas medidas pueden tener un impacto desigual en la población. Presentamos una metodología mediante el uso de datos públicos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y de la Sociedad Española de Epidemiologia para estudiar diferencias socioeconómicas en la movilidad durante la pandemia. Describimos la aplicación de esta metodología para una provincia (Asturias), donde se encuentran patrones socioeconómicos rural-urbanos. El uso de herramientas de sistemas de información geográfica puede traer información útil para explorar los determinantes sociales de la salud a múltiples niveles. (AU)

The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the most important health crises of the last century in Spain and worldwide. Mobility reduction interventions have been among the most common public health measures implemented to mitigate the pandemic through reducing community transmission. These measures may have an unequal impact across the population. We present a methodology based on the use of publicly available data from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística and the Sociedad Espanola de Epidemiología, to study socioeconomic inequalities in mobility during the pandemic. We describe an application of this methodology for a province (Asturias), showing socioeconomic rural-urban patterns. The use of geographic information system tools can provide useful evidence to explore the social determinants of health at multiple levels. (AU)

Un sistema de vigilancia de salud pública para el cambio climático en las ciudades / A public health surveillance system applied to climate change for cities

Se presenta una primera propuesta de sistema de vigilancia de salud pública aplicado al cambio climático en el contexto urbano, y el proceso que llevó a su definición. Tras varios años de seguimiento de los diversos aspectos del cambio climático y de su impacto, desde los servicios de salud pública de Barcelona se formuló una propuesta preliminar y se reunió un grupo de trabajo de personas expertas que discutieron y valoraron su contenido. Se partió de cuatro categorías de componentes: datos de clima, impactos en salud del cambio climático y sus determinantes, contribuciones de la ciudad a la mitigación (especialmente con cobeneficios para la salud) y acciones para reducir la vulnerabilidad ante eventos extremos. Se desglosaron en 12 componentes, con indicadores para cada uno. El esquema se refinó con aportaciones posteriores y se ha incorporado al trabajo de los servicios de salud pública de la ciudad implicados en este campo. (AU)

This paper makes a first proposal for a public health surveillance system for climate change in cities, and describes the process that led to its definition. After several years of monitoring different aspects related to climate change and its impact, the public health services of Barcelona made a preliminary proposal and gathered a working group of experts to discuss and review it. Four categories of components were defined: climate data, health impacts of climate change and its determinants, contributions of the city to mitigation (especially those with health co-benefits), and actions to reduce vulnerability to extreme events. They were broken in twelve components, with indicators for each. The proposal was further refined with subsequent reviews, and is being used by the city public health services involved in this field.

RESUMEN Se buscó caracterizar la satisfacción y percepciones de los residentes de Lima Metropolitana sobre distintos aspectos de la ciudad que pueden afectar su calidad de vida y salud, identificando diferencias por nivel socioeconómico (NSE) y cambios en el tiempo. Se realizó un análisis secundario de la Encuesta «Lima Cómo Vamos¼ entre 2010 y 2019, reportando los resultados mediante porcentajes, con diferencias entre NSE para cada año y entre años. En 2019 la satisfacción y percepciones eran mayoritariamente desfavorables, y han disminuido hasta en 30 puntos porcentuales con el tiempo. Las personas de NSE más bajos tenían valoraciones más desfavorables y con mayores reducciones en el tiempo. Esta insatisfacción y percepciones desfavorables revelan deficiencias en servicios públicos y condiciones urbanas que podrían afectar negativamente la calidad de vida y salud, haciendo necesarias políticas que reduzcan las brechas socioeconómicas y mejoren la salud de los ciudadanos de Lima Metropolitana.

ABSTRACT We aimed to characterize the satisfaction and perceptions of the residents of Lima about different aspects of urban life that can affect their quality of life and health, identifying differences by socioeconomic status (SES) and changes over time. A secondary data analysis of the "Lima Cómo Vamos" survey was conducted between 2010 and 2019. Results are reported through percentages, with differences between SES for each year and between years. In 2019, satisfaction and perceptions were mostly unfavorable, and have decreased by up to 30% over time. People with lower SES had more unfavorable evaluations and with greater reductions over time. This dissatisfaction and unfavorable perceptions reveal deficiencies in public services and urban conditions that could negatively affect the quality of life and health, making it necessary to design and implement policies that reduce socioeconomic gaps and improve the health of Lima citizens.

Incorporando las narrativas y las percepciones en los diagnósticos de salud locales: el caso de Bilbao / Incorporating narratives and perceptions into local health diagnoses: the case of Bilbao

La subjetividad de multitud de dimensiones que inciden en la salud requiere abordajes sistémicos, diseños de estudios que integren datos de salud poblacionales y las narrativas de la población, así como abordajes metodológicos específicos que permitan capturar la evidencia procedente de procesos sociales y comunitarios. El uso de metodologías participativas en los diagnósticos de salud urbana es clave para capturar las diferentes perspectivas y conocimientos del contexto local, contribuyendo a un análisis más completo de la realidad. Esta nota metodológica expone el desarrollo del proceso participativo realizado como parte del diagnóstico de salud de Bilbao: la identificación de agentes participantes y criterios de selección, la invitación a participar y las dinámicas desarrolladas. Compartir experiencias que hayan incorporado procesos participativos es necesario para favorecer su desarrollo metodológico, y así, impulsar su práctica. (AU)

The subjectivity of a multitude of dimensions that affect health requires systemic approaches, study designs that integrate population health data and the narratives of the population, as well as specific methodological approaches that allow the capture of evidence from social and community processes. The use of participatory methodologies in urban health diagnoses is key to capturing the different perspectives and knowledge of the local context, contributing to a more complete analysis of reality. This methodological note presents the development of the participatory process carried out as part of the Bilbao health diagnosis; the identification of participating agents and selection criteria, the invitation to participate and the dynamics developed. Sharing experiences that have incorporated participatory processes is necessary to foster its methodological development, and thus, to promote it practice. (AU)

Hacia el buen gobierno por la salud: incorporación de la diversidad de percepciones en salud urbana / Towards good governance for health: incorporating the diversity of perceptions around urban health

Objetivo: Analizar las similitudes y diferencias discursivas en torno a la conceptualización de la salud y los activos y necesidades en salud percibidas en los barrios y la ciudad de Bilbao, en un proceso participativo. Método: Se realizaron talleres participativos con profesionales, vecinos/as y ciudadanía asociada. Se analizaron las diferencias de percepciones en torno a los tres bloques de contenido con base en el modelo de salud referido, así como los tipos -de carácter más individual o estructural- de necesidades y activos de salud identificados. Resultados: La conceptualización de la salud desde una mirada biopsicosocial fue más clara entre las/los profesionales, si bien ambos perfiles apuntaron a la importancia de sus determinantes sociales. La formulación de necesidades y activos en salud por parte de las/los vecinas/os se realizó desde el impacto en su vida cotidiana y desde una posición de usuarias/os con respecto a una Administración proveedora de servicios. Entre la ciudadanía asociada y las/los profesionales, se aludió en mayor medida a determinantes intermedios y estructurales, así como a cuestiones relacionadas con el ámbito de actuación de la Administración. Conclusiones: La inclusión de la multiplicidad y la diversidad de percepciones en la planificación son aspectos clave para el buen gobierno local por la salud. Para afrontar sus contradicciones es necesario un compromiso de los gobiernos por la incorporación efectiva de la participación ciudadana. (AU)

Objective: To analyse the similarities and differences in the discourse surrounding the conceptualisation of health and the perceived health assets and needs in the neighborhoods and city of Bilbao in a participatory process. Method: Participatory workshops were held with professionals, neighbors and associated citizens. The differences in perceptions of the three content blocks were analysed on the basis of the health model referred, as well as the typologies -of a more individual or structural nature- of identified health needs and assets. Results: The conceptualisation of health from a biopsychosocial perspective was clearer among professionals, although both profiles pointed to the importance of its social determinants. The formulation of needs and assets in health by the neighbors was made from the impact on their daily life and from a position of users with respect to a service provider administration. Among the associated citizens and professionals, intermediate and structural determinants were more frequently mentioned, as well as issues related to the administration's scope of action. Conclusions: The inclusion of the multiplicity and diversity of perceptions in planning is key to good local government for health. To address their contradictions, a commitment by governments to effectively incorporate citizen participation is needed. (AU)

[Participatory evaluation in place-based communities: adaptating and validating the Place Standard tool to Spanish context]. / Evaluación participativa del territorio con enfoque de equidad: adaptación y validación de la Place Standard al contexto español.

OBJECTIVE: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation to the Spanish context of the Place Standard tool to undertake participatory evaluations in place-based communities. METHOD: A back-translation method was used to obtain an adapted version of the original Place Standard tool. The translated version was reviewed by a multidisciplinary committee of experts and validated using the Delphi method. RESULTS: The final version of the adapted Place Standards tool (Entornos de Vida in Spanish) consists of 14 dimensions and 99 items. 21% of the items presented semantic difficulties during the translation. Total consensus through the Delphi panel was reached on 72% of the items. The analysis resulted in changes to the wording, and organization of the items, and the inclusion of new or modified questions to reflect the characteristics of the Spanish context. CONCLUSIONS: The validation of the Entornos de Vida tool will enable the evaluation of place-based communities characteristics/physical and socio-economic contexts in a participatory and equitable manner that focuses on social determinants of health. Its application in scenarios that take into account processes of local health action will support the practice of health promotion and equity, and centre the attention and action on the physical and socio-economic contexts with the aim to learn how places and municipal policies can affect health and well-being.
