Article Abstract
Objective: to identify the frequency of reported cases of recurring violence against adolescents and their association with victim, violence, and aggressor characteristics.
Method: cross-sectional study conducted with notified data on violence against adolescents, produced by Epidemiological Surveillance and registered in the Information System of Diseases and Notification (SINAN), from 2011 to 2018, in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Results: the frequency of recurring violence against adolescents was 46.4%. Higher occurrence was observed among girls (PR: 1.26; 95%CI: 1.15 - 1.38) between 10 and 14 years of age (PR: 1.20; 95%CI: 1.13 - 1.28), and people with a disability or disorder (PR: 1.52; 95%CI: 1.42 - 1.62). Psychological violence/neglect was 30% more prevalent in recurrence than self-harm. Most cases occurred at home (PR: 1.56; 95%CI: 1.37 - 1.77). Results showed a 1.11 times higher prevalence of recurring violence perpetrated by aggressors aged 20 years or older and higher evidence in male aggressors (95%CI: 0.97 - 1.17).
Conclusion: recurring violence was associated with victim, aggressor, and event characteristics. Health intersectoriality is crucial to reduce cases of recurring violence.
Unlabelled: (1) Frequency of recurring violence against adolescents was 46.4%. (2) Higher recurrence was observed among girls between 10 and 14 years of age. (3) Most cases occurred at home.

The recursive violence of reform: A century of failed interventions in migrant farmworker housing.
Soc Sci Med

Despite extensive documentation and repeated reform efforts spanning more than a century, migrant farmworkers in the United States continue to face severe housing-related health inequities. Drawing on extensive archival research (1910-2024) and contemporary ethnographic fieldwork at labor camps on Maryland's Eastern Shore, we examine why interventions to improve farmworker housing conditions have consistently failed to create meaningful change and how different institutions have understood and responded to these conditions over time. Through systematic analysis of government documents, policy analyses, advocacy reports, media coverage, and ethnographic observations, we trace how housing conditions actively produce and maintain health inequities through their role in agricultural labor systems.

Introduction: Violence against girls and women (VAWG) is a public health problem and a violation of human rights. The prevalence of different forms of VAWG indicates that this is a recurring global issue that provokes economic, social and health consequences. In this paper, we outline a scoping review protocol to characterise risk factors for VAWG from an intersectional and intergenerational perspective and discuss the consequences of such experiences for women's health.

Access to abortion is recognised as a key component of the right to healthcare. Yet, to this day, abortion in Germany without medical or criminal indication is illegal and treated under the penal code, although not punished if taking place in the first 12 gestational weeks and following a formalised process including mandatory counselling. Our study aimed to critically examine the pathway to abortion necessitated by the current criminalising legal framework in Germany.
