Portuguese term or phrase: subsídios (in this context)
I think of "subsidios" as monetary, which wouldn't apply here. Any ideas how to translate this?

Os dados do SINAN permitem a realização de diagnóstico dinâmico da ocorrência de um evento na população. Pode também fornecer **subsídios** para explicações causais dos agravos de notificação compulsória, além de vir a indicar riscos aos quais as pessoas estão sujeitas, contribuindo assim, para a identificação da realidade epidemiológica de cada área geográfica.

further data

In this context, "subsídios" means additional info.

From Houaiss:
Subsídio. s. m.
...
6. elementos de estudo, dados, informações
Etymology: Lat. subsidium - support, reinforcement

In this context, it could be demographic data about the people, clustering of cases, associations with risk factors (e.g. environmental, personal contacts, etc).

Thank you! I wasn't aware of the dictionary definition, and "further" is perfect in this context.

It may equally provide justifications for causal explanations - I think it is justification because further on in the sentence it talks about risks that the population is subject to... I hope this helps.

Explanation:
although 'subsidios' is mostly used in the financial context, in my opinion it would also be adequate here

Example sentence(s):
