[Genetic epidemiology: epidemiology, genetics or none of them?].

In an attempt to contribute to a better understanding of the identity of Genetic Epidemiology, we review its conception, its field of influence, its appropriate methods and techniques and, at last, some of its applications. Genetic Epidemiology involves the study of genetic factors acting on diseases and on their environmental interactions. These includes two major areas: a descriptive one, related to the distribution of such conditions in families and populations, to the epidemiologic surveillance and to the study of determinants; and another characterized by intervention, which is related to preventive measures. Because of the difficulty in considering all possible situations, especial attention is given to review some converging epidemiological and genetical methods and techniques. Among them, we stress the case studies on lab methodologies, as dermatoglyphics, and on quantitative procedures, as path analysis. Some studies are taken as examples for application, since they have been object of research in our country: leprosy, hydrargyrism and schizophrenia.

[The rights to health information].

This article discusses the role of the press in the diffusion of health information during an epidemics outbreak. After having analysed the news published at the São Paulo City press since January 1988, we identified some patterns of behavior by health authorities and by the press. The right to information is discussed in relation to the construction of a critical health awareness which allows social groups to act when facing health situation of potential threat.

[Social equity in the health domain].

In the European debate on equity in health and health care a crucial question has received scant consideration. It concerns the precise specification of a health system's objectives and the manner by which they can be suitably interpreted to permit monitoring of implemented policies. This article is an attempt to review actual and potential contributions to this area of study. It adopts the view that the meaning of equity in the health domain depends crucially on how social justice is defined and that this in turn depends on value judgements or the views of society held by individuals, groups or governments. Such an approach allows one to choose principles of distribution which are in agreement with a society's value set and subsequently to apply them as the correct yardstick for measuring the success of policy. Following an initial exposition of the approach, the main body of the article discusses the question of competing theories of society - Libertarian, Liberal and Democratic Socialist - and appraises the various distribution principles, to be found in the economic and philosophical literature, which they imply. The final section offers some brief conclusions and avenues for further research.
