Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25 e210047 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.210047 Against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, this study presents an active learning teams (ALTs) training model for health education as part of teaching-service-community for the prevention of Covid-19 infection.

The Covid-19 pandemic and its linkages with gender inequality, food insecurity and social support in Latin America.

Sousa LRMd, et al. The Covid-19 pandemic and its linkages with gender inequality, food insecurity and social support in Latin America. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25 e200651 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200651 Social support has been shown to mitigate increased food insecurity (FI) and gender inequality (GI) triggered by economic crises. However, unlike other shocks to the economy, the crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic included social isolation. This study used data from a cross-sectional study collected in 18 countries in Latin America to evaluate changes in perceptions of GI and its association with FI and social support in the region during the economic crisis. The findings show a gradual increase in perceptions of GI in FI and that interviewees suffering from FI

Participation and participatory health assessment: reflections from a case study

Furtado JP, et al. Participation and participatory health assessment: reflections from a case study. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25 e210283 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.210283 This study analyzed the participatory dimension of the Family Health Support Centers assessment process. We drew on Paulo Freire’s and Orlando Fals Borda’s contributions to participatory assessment, defined as transformative and confronting pragmatic North American approaches. Participation was assessed using five dimensions: control of decisions; range of stakeholders; power relations; plasticity of the process in relation to context; and depth of participation. The findings showed that workers had limited control of decisions, a limited range of stakeholders; balanced power relations; plasticity of the process in relation to context, and success of actions designed to enhance participation. The valorization

Pan LC, et al. Social protection and therapeutic-occupational experiences: life during the Covid-19 pandemic. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25 e200753 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200753 This text elaborates some reflections regarding the responses that have been undertaken by the sectors: health, social security and social assistance, which make up social security in Brazil. It assumes its centrality, to face the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Considering this context and assuming a professional action for social participation with autonomy, we share experiences in Social Occupational Therapy with young people who live in urban peripheries, certainly poor for the market/consumption, but rich in life, in the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim was to produce care that is consistent with social protection and is directed, in defense of

Sousa JG. Sociocultural activities as an interface between emotional well-being and the prevention of Covid-19 transmission in nursing homes. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25 e200576 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200576 Around 40% of Covid-19 deaths in Portugal have occurred in nursing homes, resulting in the implementation of social isolation measures, with grave consequences for the mental health of residents. This exploratory study aimed to explore whether performing sociocultural activities designed to cheer up the elderly during the pandemic works as an interface between emotional well-being and the prevention of Covid-19 transmission, from the viewpoint of the professionals performing the activities. We present the findings of a content analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with 16 professionals working in nursing homes in continental Portugal. The
