Abstract:

The objective was to report the experience in managing action research on hepatitis C investigation in the prison community in Triângulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais. The proposal was developed between March 2019 and March 2020, reaching 240 people to contain the spread of the disease, through an inquiry, testing and monitoring of positive cases. It adopted intersectoral action with articulation between Universities, Medical Society, Teaching Hospital and State Secretariat for Justice and Public Security. Strategies for the management of action research are described: study scenarios and actors, registration and formalization of the activity, application of tests and management of internal reagents. Difficulties were identified regarding the accommodation of routines among the research team and the proper functioning of the penitentiary, which required extensive training between the parties and managerial articulations. It is considered that the report collaborates with the organization of future research aimed at accessing this still invisible population, the prison community, when it highlights the strategies adopted to conduct the research.
