          Abstract

          O PSF representa um dos principais programas públicos em saúde no Brasil, cobrindo em 2006 um total de 5.601 municípios (91,8%). O estudo avaliou o PSF do município de Teresópolis (RJ) por meio da percepção e das informações prestadas pelos responsáveis por crianças na faixa de 0-5 anos e que utilizam estes serviços, por meio de questionários aplicados aos responsáveis nos próprios módulos de atendimento ou em visitas domiciliares. Resultados foram comparados entre áreas urbanas e rurais e diferenças significativas foram observadas para determinados itens e elevado vínculo da clientela ao programa e uma percepção predominantemente positiva sobre o estado de saúde das crianças. O acesso se mostrou adequado segundo os critérios utilizados quando se refere ao atendimento de rotina. Os pontos críticos observados incluem baixa cobertura de visitas domiciliares, dificuldades na realização de exames solicitados e no fornecimento regular de medicamentos. As áreas rurais apresentaram um número elevado de crianças que trataram condições agudas em casa sem assistência médica. A satisfação manifestada pelos usuários quanto aos médicos, aos agentes de saúde, aos profissionais de enfermagem e ao conjunto dos serviços foi elevada. A clientela não visitada por agentes de saúde apresentou menor acesso à distribuição de medicamentos.

          Translated abstract

          Family Health Strategy represents one of the major public programs in Brazil covering 5,601 municipalities in 2006 (91.8%). This study evaluated Teresópolis Family Health Strategy through information and perceptions of adults responsible for children around 0-5 years that used those health services. It was used evaluation forms answered by family in waiting rooms or during home visiting. Results for urban and rural areas were compared and significant differences were observed in some issues. Major findings include users' strong ties with the program and a highly positive perception about the children health status. Access was satisfactory as to use criteria when relating to regular care proceedings. Critical points observed include: low coverage of home visiting, bad access to labs and image exams and to systematic delivery of medicines. Rural areas presented a high number of children who treated acute clinical conditions at home without doctor assistance. Users satisfaction as to physicians, nurses, health community agents and services were high level. Users not regularly visited at home presented lower access to medicine delivery.

              Drinking water and cancer.

              K P Cantor (1997)
              Epidemiologic evidence on the relation between contaminants in drinking water and cancer is reviewed. The reviewed studies cover exposure to: disinfection byproducts; nitrate; arsenic and other metals; volatiles and contaminants from hazardous waste sites; asbestiform fibers; radionuclides; and fluoride. Most investigations are ecologic, with some confirmation of elevated risk from individual-based studies. In the case of waterborne arsenic, and possibly chlorination byproducts, there is a consistent but small body of epidemiologic evidence of an association with one or more types of cancer. Nitrate in groundwater has increased greatly over the years, and the demonstration of endogenous nitrosation among highly exposed subjects raises concern of elevated cancer risk. However, the epidemiologic data are not yet sufficient to draw a conclusion. There is a diversity of studies among populations exposed to water contaminated with pesticides, volatile organics, or mixtures from hazardous waste sites. Studies of asbestiform fibers and radionuclides in water are not conclusive, but there are suggested elevations of several cancer sites in highly exposed populations. There is no suggestion that fluoride in drinking water is linked with elevated risk of cancer. As topics for epidemiologic evaluation, drinking water contaminants pose methodologic problems common to studies designed to detect relatively small elevations in risk, with the added challenge of assessing exposures for many years in the past. Nevertheless, epidemiologic assessment is valuable and clearly warranted, given the potential public health impact of small risk elevations among very large exposed populations, and the limitations of toxicologic experiments in assessing carcinogenic risk of complex mixtures or of compounds for which appropriate animal models are not available.
