Associação entre perda dentária e desigualdades relacionadas à cor da pele em adultos : resultados do Estudo Pró-Saúde

Gonçalves, Letícia Gomes January 2011 (has links)
A perda dentária representa o acúmulo de agravos à saúde bucal ao longo da vida. Estudos apontam que minorias étnico-raciais apresentam maior prevalência de perda dentária mesmo após ajuste para fatores demográficos e socioeconômicos; e sugerem que o efeito residual desta associação poderia ser explicado pela discriminação. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a relação entre perda dentária e cor da pele, bem como a contribuição da discriminação auto-referida, condição material de vida e hábitos comportamentais como explicações para esta associação. O estudo foi realizado a partir da análise transversal de dados do Estudo Pro-saúde, que avaliou uma coorte de 4030 funcionarios tecnico-administrativos de campi universitários no Rio de Janeiro, através de questionários auto-preenchíveis, entre1999 e 2001. A análise estatística foi realizada através da regressão logística ordinal. As análises foram feitas para os conjunto de variáveis, em que a variável cor da pele foi mantida independente da significância estatística. No primeiro bloco, a associação entre cor da pele e perda dentária foi controlada por variáveis demográficas (idade, sexo). No segundo bloco ,controlou-se pelas variáveis do bloco 1 mais fatores comportamentais (i.e. fumo, visita ao dentistas, consumo de álcool e situação conjugal). No terceiro bloco controlou-se pelas variáveis do bloco 1 mais fatores socioeconômicos (situação econômica na infância, grau de instrução da mãe, grau de instrução atual e renda familiar equivalizada). No quarto bloco, foram testadas as associações com variáveis de discriminação. No modelo final, foram mantidas as variáveis que alcançaram o nível de significância de 25,0% nos blocos (modelos) prévios. Após ajuste para fatores demográficos, condição material de vida e hábitos comportamentais, a chance de perda dentária continuou maior entre negros (OR=1,46; IC95% 1,21–1,77) e pardos (OR=1,31; IC95% 1,10–1,55) em relação aos brancos. A discriminação auto referida não foi associada ao desfecho. / Tooth loss is the accumulation of oral health hazards such as lack of access to dental care, inappropriate health behavioral, low socioeconomic status. Studies have also shown more tooth loss among racial/ethnic minorities. Racial discrimination has been associated with racial/ethnic disparities in health, affecting the individual and population health. The study aims to evaluate the association between race-ethnicity and tooth loss and the role of socioeconomic status, health behaviors, health services access and self-reported discrimination. Baseline cross-sectional data were obtained from the Pro-Saúde Cohort Study (Rio de Janeiro-Brazil) in 4030 civil servants, and analyzed with ordered logistic regression. The outcome was self-reported tooth loss measured in four ordered categories. In the full model, adjusted for behavioral, socioeconomic, dental care and demographic variables, the OR was, respectively 1.31 (IC 95%: 1.10–1.55) and 1.46 (IC 95%: 1.21–1.77) for browns and blacks. There was no significant association between tooth loss and self-reported discrimination.

Skin Pigmentation Influencing Perception of Mexican-Americans

Diaz, Petra Alvarez 05 1900 (has links)
Subjects were 101 Mexican-American adults (53 females, 48 males), age range 17-72, and most often were in the blue-collar job level. Instructions were that (a) 18 pairs of slides would be shown; (b) each slide would be projected for 15 seconds; (c) each of the two models was to be judged on intelligence, attractiveness, friendliness, happiness, and success; and (d) the rating scale would be marked corresponding to the left or right slide. Results indicated the lighter-skinned models were judged more favorably than the darker ones on all five dimensions. To the extent this study sheds light on an important cultural value, it is hoped the treatment of Mexican-Americans in therapy will be facilitated and improved.

Red Bones and Earth Mothers: A Contemporary Exploration of Colorism and its Perception Among African American Female Adolescents

Maxwell, Morgan 19 April 2013 (has links)
Research on colorism continues to gain momentum across several disciplines. However, while varied studies have explored the social phenomenon among adult populations, especially those of African ancestry, few have systematically investigated the extent to which African American youth are exposed to or endorse hierarchical perceptions of skin color. The current study addresses this void in colorism literature. Employing a grounded theory approach, the present investigation examines African American female adolescents’ perceptions of skin color, aiming specifically to understand the sociocultural factors that underpin and contribute to colorist socializations as well as sources of skin color messages. Five focus groups and nine interviews were conducted with 30 African American girls ranging in age from 12-16. Participants were recruited from local Boys and Girls clubs, neighborhood centers, and nonprofit organizations. Participants were asked such a priori based questions as: 1) What do people think about light skin Black girls? 2) What do people think about dark skin Black girls? 3) What messages about skin color do you hear from Rap music? and 4) Do Black men and boys prefer girls of certain skin colors. Constant comparison data analysis and coding revealed African Americans girls are, in fact, exposed to and endorse hierarchical perceptions of skin color, the central phenomenon Three core categories related to the central phenomenon emerged: 1) sources of skin color messages, e.g. family and rap music 2) skin color messages, e.g. skin color governs social standing, physical attributes, and personality/behavioral traits and 3) effects of skin color messages, e.g. mate preferences, desires to change one’s appearance, and within-race division. From these three core categories emerged seven subcategories and themes that offer additional information and insight into the central phenomenon. Findings from this study indicate African American young females are significantly influenced by skin color preferences, and thus may stand to gain from the development of curricula or programs designed to counter colorist stereotypes, reduce the effects of skin color biases, and promote a greater sense of self-satisfaction and wellbeing.

Madeira, Viviane Souza 05 January 2016 (has links)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo estudar a representação das identidades da comunidade indo-portuguesa nos romances Skin (2001), de Margaret Mascarenhas, e A casa-comboio (2010), de Raquel Uchoa, por meio de uma análise comparativa que focaliza os vínculos estabelecidos entre as personagens e o universo colonial indo-português, bem como de que maneira os narradores enunciam sua ideologia por intermédio dessas conexões. Buscaremos averiguar de que forma esses romances contribuem para fundamentar identidades coloniais distintas, tendo por referência a colonização portuguesa na Índia. / This dissertation aims to discuss the representation of identity of Indo-Portuguese communities depicted in the novels Skin (2001), written by Margaret Mascarenhas, and A casa-comboio (2010), written by Raquel Ochoa. The comparative analysis of these novels will focus on the connections established between the characters and the Indo-Portuguese colonial universe as well as on how the narrators enunciate their ideology. We also intend to investigate how these novels contribute to found distinct colonial identities, taking as reference the Portuguese colonization in India.

Negotiating Beauty Ideals: Perceptions of Beauty Among Black Female University Students

Swain, Fiana O 01 April 2012 (has links)
This thesis explores the college lives of Black women who attend or recently attended majority white colleges and universities in the United States. Emphasis is placed on how Black women’s college experience is influenced by the way they define beauty, as well as how they perceive their White peers to define beauty. Through the collection of ten in-depth interviews, I examine how Black women’s perceptions of beauty compare with those of mainstream United States standards and those of the dominant culture of their schools. I explored how the Black women I interviewed responded when confronted with these mainstream beauty standards and how these standards influence their social and academic lives on campus.
