Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente a associação entre composição domiciliar e consumo alimentar em adolescentes. Métodos: Trata-se de revisão sistemática da literatura. A busca dos artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE via PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Web of Science, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Embase e Scopus. Os artigos foram avaliados por meio do Research Triangle Institute (RTI) Item Bank sobre risco de viés e acurácia de estudos observacionais. Foram avaliados estudos observacionais com adolescentes (10-19 anos de idade). Resultados: Dos 2.324 artigos encontrados, 11 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão, 9 de delineamento transversal e 2 longitudinais. Quanto à avaliação do consumo alimentar, foram avaliadas as frequências de: jantar em família, consumo de café da manhã, consumo de refeições, omissão do café da manhã, consumo de grupos alimentares, número de refeições realizadas durante o dia, assim como densidade energética de grupos alimentares e o Índice de Alimentação Saudável. Observou-se que adolescentes que moravam com ambos os pais apresentaram maior frequência de consumo do café da manhã e maior consumo de vegetais. Preferências alimentares mais positivas e saudáveis foram mais frequentes entre adolescentes que residiam em famílias nucleares. Por outro lado, consumo irregular de café da manhã e consumo de marcadores de alimentação não saudável foram mais frequentes entre adolescentes residentes em domicílios monoparentais, com família reconstituída e famílias extensas. Conclusão: Adolescentes que moravam com ambos os pais apresentaram melhor consumo alimentar. Ressalta-se a necessidade de considerar a composição domiciliar ao planejar programas de promoção da alimentação saudável entre adolescentes.

The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been accrediting laboratories for the analysis of asbestos by transmission electron microscopy since 1990. As part of the quality assurance procedures for the program, laboratories are required to determine k factors for Na, Mg, Si, Al, Ca and Fe. An interlaboratory study has been conducted by NIST and the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) in which laboratories analyzed thin film standards SRM 2063 or SRM 2063a. This work reports results of initial analysis of the data.

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe selected demographical, biographical, educational and professional background characteristics of the registered nurse tutors in the RSA and to construct a profile of the characteristics. Such a profile could provide a baseline for future studies and evaluation concerning registered nurse tutors. Data were collected from a random proportional stratified sample of 233 registered nurse tutors from a total of 1312 registered tutors whose names appeared on the SANC register. A questionnaire developed by the researcher and based on and adopted from a questionnaire from the Research Triangle Institute USA on the registered nurse in the USA, was used for data collection. The data were analysed and from the findings a profile of the registered nurse tutor in the RSA was constructed.

During the spring of 1980, the Research Triangle Institute conducted a telephone survey to determine the extent to which a sample of 153 handicapped migrant children were identified as being handicapped—and had IEP's prepared—by schools in which they were enrolled from January 1978 through June 1979. The survey also was used to determine the extent to which IEP's and IEP-related information were transmitted between, and utilized by, staff of the various schools in which the students were enrolled. Findings indicate that: (a) the various schools in which students were enrolled were inconsistent in identifying these students as needing special education and in preparing their IEP's; (b) IEP's were developed less frequently for the most mobile than for the less mobile migrant students; (c) only a small percentage of the students had IEP's developed at more than one school; and (d) IEP's and IEP-related information were rarely transmitted between schools.
