O artigo analisa, com base nas informações do currículo Lattes, o perfil dos pesquisadores com bolsa de produtividade em pesquisa do CNPq na área de Saúde Coletiva. A análise levou em conta a formação graduada e pós-graduada, área de atuação, produção e divulgação científica. As comparações são feitas entre as classes de pesquisadores e com dados do diretório de grupos de pesquisa. A maioria dos pesquisadores (70%) são formados em Ciências da Saúde, principalmente em Medicina, ou em Ciências Humanas (18%), principalmente Sociologia. Sessenta por cento fizeram mestrado e doutorado em Saúde Coletiva, mas há entre 20 e 30% de pesquisadores, dependendo da classe, sem formação específica na área. A maioria atua em Epidemiologia. A produção científica, expressa em produtos bibliográficos, varia de 10,56 produtos/ano de obtenção do doutorado para os pesquisadores 2C a 6,60 produtos/ano para os pesquisadores 1A. Para artigos completos publicados em periódicos os valores são 3,56 e 2,87, respectivamente. A produção é divulgada principalmente em periódicos A internacional e, A e B nacional. Os periódicos que concentram a publicação são Cadernos de Saúde Pública e Revista de Saúde Pública.

Estudou-se a tendência da mortalidade por homicídios segundo sexo e idade na cidade de São Paulo entre 1979 e 1994, utilizando modelos de ajuste de tendência temporal selecionados com base na significância de beta e valor de R², e análise de resíduos pela técnica de box and whisker plot. A mortalidade por homicídios em São Paulo passou de 12,2 óbitos por 100.000 hab. em 1979 para 34,2 em 1994, apresentando crescimento linear de 1,17 ao ano. O mesmo comportamento é observado em ambos os sexos, embora as taxas para os homens sejam cerca de 14 vezes maiores, denotando a deterioração das condições de vida urbana. Tanto os menores de dez anos como os maiores de 60 anos apresentam taxas constantes no período em valores relativamente baixos. O grupo de 10 a 19 anos apresenta crescimento das taxas segundo o modelo multiplicativo (incrementos 132,55). Os adultos jovens de 20 a 39 anos apresentam taxas crescentes durante todo o período, segundo o modelo linear, enquanto os adultos de 40 a 59 anos apresentam crescimento segundo o modelo recíproco. Observa-se, assim, que cada grupo de idade e sexo apresenta tendência temporal peculiar no período considerado.

Este trabalho discute a emergência da epidemiologia clínica e seu caráter duplamente ideológico. Inicialmente são apresentadas diferentes conotações do conceito de ideologia optando-se por trabalhar com dois desses sentidos. O primeiro é a noção positivista de ideologia enquanto idéias de um dado tempo histórico; e o segundo é a noção marxista de ideologia como ocultamento das relações de dominação. Sob o primeiro sentido, a epidemiologia clínica é discutida com relação às idéias vigentes na década de 80, o que lhe conferiria um caráter eminentemente pós-moderno, com toda a carga de individualismo que o termo carrega. Finalmente são apontados os mitos de que se alimenta a epidemiologia clínica, tomada agora no segundo sentido da noção de ideologia.

The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic statistics and homicide mortality rates in the city of Sao Paulo between 1988 and 1994. City districts were grouped into five geographic areas. A socioeconomic indicator (ISE) was constructed with census information combining average income of the family head, illiteracy rate for the population over 5 yr of age, average number of rooms and number of persons per household. The higher the score, the better the socioeconomic situation (possible values: 4 to 384). Deaths from homicide were grouped by residential areas, and the rates for these areas were calculated. The association between homicide rates and the socioeconomic situation was analyzed with Spearman correlation coefficients. Average ISE scores varied from 291 in the Central area (homicide rate = 27.96 deaths per 100000) to 119.9 in the East area (homicide rate = 40.38). The Spearman coefficient between ISEs and homicide rates was -0.98 (p < 0.05). Due to the heterogeneity inside the areas, the median ISE is a better indicator of the socioeconomic conditions yielding an [r.sub.s] = - 1.0. Almost half the population resides in areas with the highest risk of homicide mortality (East and South). Taking the Central area as a reference, we found risks of 1.36 in the Western, 1.37 in the Northern, 1.44 in the Eastern and 2.67 in the Southern areas. Key words - urban violence, homicide, intra-urban differentials, health inequality

The article discusses the challenges for graduate programs in Public Health at the beginning of the XXI century, considering the specific aspects of training such as the changes in the field of public health practices in terms of social and historical transformations. The main objective is to discuss different aspects that should inform the formulation of graduate programs. The text is composed of a brief history of the development of graduate studies in the area, considerations about the current status of accredited programs, challenges for the future of this area, the implications of globalization for the knowledge and practices of public health, and the new public health challenges for academic and professional training.

The article focuses on the difficulties that the current system of regulation of ethics in research represents for the practice of the epidemiological research. Accordingly, it introduces a few understandings in relation to the present subject in the international literature, pointing out some of the most relevant themes and problems. An examination of the difficulties faced by Brazilian epidemiologists is also presented. It suggests that procedures adopted by the system of ethics in research should be reviewed.
