The present study aimed to analyze notifications of intimate partner violence (IPV) against indigenous women in the macro-region of Dourados-MS, Brazil, from 2009 to 2020. This is a cross-sectional study with secondary data from registered reports in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) of indigenous women who suffered violence. Descriptive statistics of the variables and Poisson regression were performed to determine the prevalence ratio (PR). IPV represented 56.6% of reports. The most reported types of violence were physical violence (93.3%) and psychological violence (27%). In the adjusted analysis, IPV was associated with women with partners (PR 1.32, 95%CI 1.19; 1.46), and women in situations of repeated violence (PR 1.15, 95%CI 1.05; 1.25) and at home as the place of occurrence (PR 1.13, 95%CI 1.01; 1.29). The majority of reports of violence against indigenous women registered in the Dourados health macro-region were perpetrated by an intimate partner. Knowledge of the profile of violence that arrives at health services, combined with associated factors, should enable the implementation of strategies aimed at reducing the number of cases.

Enhancing equity in academic surgery promotion practices.

Background: Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) in medicine and women faculty have lower 10-year promotion rates than their White and male peers, despite controlling for productivity metrics. Promotion standards vary across institutions, but there is likely a common need to improve transparency and consistency while mitigating bias, inequity, and the harm of additional equity work that is commonly expected of Black, Indigenous, People of Color and women faculty (the so-called minority tax).
Methods: A promotion advisory committee consisting of clinical and research faculty at all ranks specified expectations for a faculty member at the associate or full professor ranks, with 10-15 examples given for each "mission" (clinical, research, and education).
