To evaluate the use of biofeedback intervention in the levels of depression. The main hypothesis tested if the use of biofeedback improves depression levels compared to the control group. A randomised clinical trial. The final sample was composed of 36 participants (18 in the experimental group, receiving 6 training, once a week, with biofeedback; and 18 in the control group, who received conventional treatment in the service).Outcome measures were assessed in two stages: pre-test and post-test. The research used the following instruments: demographic survey data, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5.0.0 and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The factors and variables were presented in terms of descriptive and inferential statistics. Fisher's exact test (p < 0.05) was used to verify the existence of an association between the counting variables. The multinomial logistic regression model was adopted, and the Logit link function was used, as the software RStudio version 3.6.2. The factors that remained in the final model were group, sex, partner, atypical antidepressant, benzodiazepines, mood stabiliser, antiepileptic and antihistamine, according to the levels of depression based on the BDI. The group that did not receive biofeedback intervention had 16 times more chances of increasing the depression levels compared to participants in the experimental group. The use of biofeedback reduces depression, thus, representing a complementary alternative for the treatment of moderate and severe depression, and dysthymia.

This article describes the methodological aspects of the Study of Nutrition, Health, and Food Security of Indigenous Peoples in Alagoas (ENSSAIA), conducted between August 2022 and December 2023. The objective of ENSSAIA was to investigate the nutrition, health, and food security conditions of indigenous peoples in Alagoas. This was a cross‐sectional, population‐based household survey assessing all 11 indigenous ethnic groups in the state, with a random selection of 14 out of 29 existing villages. All individuals registered in the Indigenous Health Care Subsystem of the selected villages were eligible for the study. A total of 1400 families were assessed, with data collected on environmental, demographic, and socioeconomic conditions; access to policies and public service infrastructure; household food security; health of children (< 5 years), pregnant women, women (19–59 years), and the elderly (≥ 60 years); breastfeeding practices among children < 2 years; individuals with disabilities and genetic alterations; nutritional status through anthropometric indicators (all household members), biochemical markers: hemoglobin (children aged 6 months to < 5 years and pregnant women), lipid profile, and glycated hemoglobin (women); dietary indicators (women, pregnant women, and children < 5 years); non‐communicable diseases; and alcohol and tobacco use (women, men, and elderly). The results produced by ENSSAIA are expected to support the formulation or revision of public policies that ensure greater access to healthcare, healthy food, and improved quality of life for indigenous peoples, considering their traditions, cultures, and ways of life. The ENSSAIA Study is the first population‐based investigation encompassing all Indigenous ethnic groups in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. By integrating socioeconomic, dietary, nutritional, biochemical, and health indicators, the study provides robust evidence to support culturally contextualized health promotion interventions. Its methodological design ensures internal validity and comparability, offering a strategic framework for long‐term monitoring of food security and noncommunicable diseases among vulnerable Indigenous communities.
