Brazilian Public Health Undergraduate Curricula Analysis for Gender and Sexuality Content

Jéssica Maiza Nogueira Silva conducted a qualitative analysis of 16 Curricular Pedagogical Projects from Brazilian Public Health undergraduate courses. The research found that 12 of the 21 existing courses have disciplines that discuss gender and sexuality issues, either mandatorily or optionally. The study concludes that this debate occurs in most institutions but should be improved in the National Curricular Guideline.

Use Cases

• Analyze the integration of gender and sexuality topics in health education based on the described curriculum documents.
• Compare mandatory versus optional course offerings on social topics within public health programs.
• Study the alignment between institutional curricula and national guidelines for public health education.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on a defined sample of 16 Curricular Pedagogical Projects.
• Findings provide a concrete count: 12 out of 21 existing courses include relevant content.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation for the underlying data are absent.
• The dataset's freshness and last update date are unknown.
• The actual data files and their formats are unspecified.
