Objective:
To describe the role of the Risk and Protective Factors Indicator Management Committee (RPF CGI) in the resumption and update of the Interagency Health Information Network (Rede Interagencial de Informações para a Saúde - Ripsa) indicator matrix in 2023, highlighting the sustainability of data sources and validation processes.
Methods And Results:
Interinstitutional technical meetings were held between 2023 and 2025, involving 36 institutions, to review, define, and validate the indicators using a standardized indicator qualification form. A consensus was reached to use data from the Surveillance System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico - Vigitel), National Study of Infant Feeding and Nutrition (Estudo Nacional de Alimentação e Nutrição Infantil - Enani), Live Birth Information System (Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos - Sinasc), National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde - PNS), Household Budget Survey (Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares - POF), National School Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar - PeNSE), National Demographic and Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde - PNDS), Annual Industrial Survey - Product (Pesquisa Industrial Anual - Produto - PIA-Produto), National Survey on Health and Nutrition (Pesquisa Nacional sobre Saúde e Nutrição - PNSN), and National Oral Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal - SB Brasil). The matrix was expanded to 39 indicators, distributed across nine dimensions: noncommunicable chronic diseases, alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, nutritional status, dietary intake, childbirth, violence, and oral health.
Conclusion:
The RPF CGI contributed to the qualification and sustainability of Ripsa indicators, which are essential for monitoring public policies, supporting evidence-based decision-making, and addressing health inequalities, aligning with national and international agendas such as the Sustainable Development Goals.
