          Abstract

          Objective: to evaluate the longitudinality attribute in childcare provided through the Family Health Strategy. Method: quantitative survey performed with 344 caregivers of children below 10 years old, registered in the family health strategy of Distrito Sanitario III in João Pessoa, Paraiba. Data were collected from July to December, 2012, from the Brazil PCATool child version form and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: among the aspects evaluated, it is highlighted that 89.5% of caregivers said they were consulted by the same professionals, and 81.9% felt good talking to the professional. The average score for the longitudinality component was satisfactory, with a 6.6 value. Conclusion: the health facilities assessed are guided towards the longitudinality attribute, however, the target mean score was exactly the cutoff value, implying the need for a thoughtful look at the improvement of the attribute in the care of children under ten years.

O escore médio para o componente longitudinalidade foi satisfatório, com valor 6,6. Conclusão: As unidades de saúde avaliadas estão orientadas para o atributo da longitudinalidade, entretanto, o escore médio atingido ficou exatamente no valor de corte, implicando a necessidade de um olhar atencioso para o aprimoramento do atributo na atenção à criança menor de dez anos.

              Policy relevant determinants of health: an international perspective.

              International comparisons can provide clues to understanding some of the important policy-related determinants of health, including those related to the provision of health care services. An earlier study indicated that the strength of the primary care infrastructure of a health services system might be related to overall costs of health services. The purpose of the current research was to determine the robustness of the findings in the light of the passage of 5-10 years, the addition of two more countries, and the findings of other research on the possible importance of other determinants of country health levels. Thirteen industrialized countries, all with populations of at least 5 million, were characterized by the relative strength of their primary care infrastructure, the degree of national income inequality, and a major manifestation of a behavioral determinant of health that is amenable to policy intervention (smoking), using international data sets and national informants. Health system and primary care practice characteristics were judged according to pre-set criteria. Major indicators of health were used as dependent variables, as were health care costs. The stronger the primary care, the lower the costs. Countries with very weak primary care infrastructures have poorer performance on major aspects of health. Although countries that are intermediate in the strength of their primary care generally have levels of health at least as good as those with high levels of primary care, this is not the case in early life, when the impact of strong primary care is greatest. A subset of characteristics (equitable distribution of resources, publicly accountable universal financial coverage, low cost sharing, comprehensive services, and family-oriented services) distinguishes countries with overall good health from those with poor health at all ages. Neither income inequality nor smoking status accurately identified those countries with either consistently high or consistently poor performance on the health indicators. A certain level of health care expenditures may be required to achieve overall good health levels, even in the presence of strong primary care infrastructures. Very low costs may interfere with achievement of good health, particularly at older ages, although very high levels of costs may signal excessive and potentially health-compromising care. Five policy-relevant characteristics appear to be related to better population health levels. There is no consistent relationship between income inequality, smoking, and health levels as measured by various indicators of health in different age groups.
