Objetivo: Identificar factores sociodemográficos y sanitarios en mujeres que requirieron prestaciones asociadas con la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (IVE). Material y métodos. Diseño transversal retrospectivo desde registros oficiales por centros de salud entre 2018-2020. Análisis con estadística descriptiva y modelos de regresión logística múltiple.
Resultados: Asociación entre IVE y causal por violación vs. riesgo de vida de la mujer (aRP [razón de prevalencia ajustada]=1.16 [IC95%: 1.11,1.21]); nivel Fonasa A (Fondo Nacional de Salud) (aRP=0.79 [IC95%: 0.67,0.93]), B (aRP= 0.79 [IC95%: 0.67,0.93]) y C vs. Isapre (Institución de Salud Previsional) (aRP= 0.73 [IC95%: 0.58,0.93]). A medida que aumenta el nivel de atención, desde nivel primario al terciario, incrementaría la probabilidad de interrumpir el embarazo (aRM [razón de momios ajustados]= 0.59 IC95%: 0.36,0.99; aRM= 0.58 [IC95%: 0.35,0.96]). Conclusión. Se proporcionan estimaciones nacionales en materia de IVE. Destaca que diferentes determinantes sociosanitarios son importantes de considerar para promover lineamientos y políticas sanitarias para promover los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, y la autonomía reproductiva.
目的:确定需要自愿终止妊娠(VTP)相关服务的妇女的社会人口和健康因素。材料与方法。采用回顾性横断面设计,数据来源于2018-2020年间医疗中心的官方记录。采用描述性统计和多元逻辑回归模型进行分析。结果:VTP与强奸因果关系与妇女生命风险之间的关联(aRP[调整流行率]=1.16[95%CI:1.11,1.21]);Fonasa A 级(国家卫生基金)(apr=0.79[95%CI:0.67,0.93])、B 级(apr=0.79[95%CI:0.67,0.93])和 C 级与 Isapre(预防保健机构)(apr=0.73[95%CI:0.58,0.93])之间的关系。随着医疗水平的提高,从初级到三级,终止妊娠的概率也会增加(调整后的几率比率=0.59,CI95%:0.36,0.99;调整后的几率比率=0.58 [CI95%:0.35,0.96])。结论提供了全国性传播疾病流行率的估计值。它突出表明,在推广促进性权利和生殖权利以及生殖自主权的卫生指导方针和政策时,必须考虑不同的社会健康决定因素。

Objetivo: Conocer las diferentes respuestas de adolescentes centroamericanos que migran solos en México ante la ausencia familiar. Material y métodos. Se utilizaron métodos cualitativos y visuales (entrevistas semiestructuradas, técnica de elicitación visual, taller de dibujo y análisis temático). Se entrevistaron migrantes de entre 14 y 19 años no acompañados y trabajadores en servicios para migrantes.
Resultados: Se identificaron tres respuestas: independización, resiliencia y formación de redes de apoyo fuera de la familia tradicional. Conclusión. Las diferentes respuestas muestran que la familia -como núcleo de personas cercanas- es una necesidad humana y la reunificación familiar debe ser prioridad cuando ésta es viable. Sin embargo, falta reconocimiento institucional de la complejidad de las múltiples situaciones familiares de adolescentes migrantes. Esta falta puede justificar su deportación sin debido análisis de la situación.

Objetivo: Analizar los diferentes elementos en los argumentos recibidos durante la consulta pública del Proyecto de Modificación a la Norma Oficial Mexicana-051 (NOM-051), con énfasis en la protección de niñas, niños y adolescentes (NNA). Material y métodos. Se analizó la información de 1 095 argumentos, se identificó a los actores clave y se realizó un análisis de contenido para conocer la postura, a favor o en contra de los numerales relacionados con la protección a NNA. El análisis se hizo en el programa NVivo.
Resultados: Se identificaron 781 actores clave. Durante la consulta pública se identificaron cuatro tácticas del sector privado para interferir en el proceso de la NOM-051: a) grupos fachada que enviaron comentarios en contra de la NOM-051; b) cuestionar la evidencia científica sobre la relación del consumo de edulcorantes y el desarrollo de obesidad en escolares; c) cuestionar la efectividad del uso del etiquetado de advertencia para edulcorantes; d) responsabilizar a los individuos de su enfermedad. Conclusión. La interferencia del sector privado en el proceso de implementación de la NOM-051 fue evidente en los argumentos enviados durante la consulta pública.

Objective: To estimate adolescent use of outpatient services, identifying their health needs and associated socioeconomic factors.
Materials and methods: Using data from Ensanut 2018-2019, adolescents (ages 10-19) with health needs and those receiving care from health personnel (users) were identified. Needs were analyzed by sex and socioeconomic status (SES). Logistic models were used to assess the factors associated with the use of health care and choice of provider.
Results: 6% of adolescents reported health needs, of whom 64% used outpatient services. Respiratory and gastrointestinal infections were the principal health needs prompting use of services overall. However, by SES, motivations centered on pregnancy for the poor and accidental injuries for the wealthy. One in three adolescents with health needs, particularly the poorest, received no care. Living with a partner and having health insurance were the main predictors of use. Greater schooling among household heads and higher SES correlated with the use of private services.
Conclusions: Despite being aware of their health needs, adolescents are the group that uses health services the least in Mexico. Promoting preventative and timely treatment for this population would encourage youths to seek care more often.

Objective: To present the development of a training model called AMBAR (Atención a la mujer embarazada y al recién nacido [Care for pregnant women and newborns]), which was designed to improve the quality of attention of health personnel responsible for obstetric care.
Materials and methods: AMBAR was designed based on the results of a qualitative study exploring public health providers' needs and experiences. It was implemented in three health networks, and a total of 339 health personnel participated.
Results: The educational design of the course was appealing to the trained personnel, and the inclusion of simulations in all modules encouraged interest, participation, as well as the integration of new knowledge and skills into practice.
Conclusion: AMBAR can promote better practices and increase the quality of birth care. With the proper support and willingness of staff and management, AMBAR can be implemented in all health services, both public and private.

Vaccines against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human papillomaviruses (HPV) are two safe and highly effective vaccines that were developed at the end of the 20th century and can prevent human cancer. HBV vaccine prevents liver cancer, and HPV prevents cervical and other HPV-related cancers. Starting with the immunogen identification, 15 years were necessary to reach the industrial production of HBV vaccine, and 20 years, for the HPV vaccines. However, while HBV vaccines have been commercially available for over 40 years and are used in most countries, there are still significant challenges to achieve universal childhood immunization against hepatitis B. Similarly, HPV vaccines have been commercially available for 17 years, and yet, countries with higher cervical cancer still have the lowest HPV vaccination rates. We describe the development of HBV and HPV vaccines and discuss the challenges to reaching equitable access to these vaccines in Latin America.
