Abstract:

The Bolsa Família Program and water and sanitation interventionsare public policies that can have a really positive effect on addressing health inequities. The Bolsa Família Programseeks to improve health conditions, reducing food insecurity and increasing family income. Sanitation interventions aim to ensure public health and the protection of the environment. The aim of this study was to review the literature looking for possible interactions between these two interventions, influencing the outcomes morbidity and mortality due to diarrhea and malnutrition in under five years. LILACS, SciELO and PubMed databases were used and subsequently the articles methodology were evaluated through scores of Downs & Black scale adapted. A total of 1.658 articles were identified and four of which presented all the criteria for inclusion in the study.The results showed evidence of the positive effect independent of the Bolsa Família Program and adequate water and sanitation conditions in reducing illness and death processes by diarrhea and malnutrition in the age group of interest of the study. However, no article has presented results that could clarify the joint effect of these public policies in an interaction model, revealing a gap in the literature on these diseases particularly attributable to poverty.
