Abstract:

Objective: to evaluate the performance of PHCthe perspective of users and its association with sociodemographic characteristics, self-reported health conditions and behavioral risk factors for Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases. Methods: Population-based cross-sectional study, using datathe Vigitel Telephone Survey 2015. The Primary Care Assessment Tool short version was used. The study population is adults over 18 years old who used PHC services in Belo Horizonte in the last 12 months (n = 872). The multiple logistic regression model was performed to estimate the odds ratio. Results: It is observed that adults without a health plan are 3.21 (95% CI 2.08-4.96) more likely than those with a health plan to evaluate PHC with a high score (≥ 6.6), as well as adults with low education has 2.81 (95% CI 1.48-5.32) more chances, diabetics have 1.84 (95% CI 1.05-3.24) more chances, obese people have 1.97 (95% CI 1 , 20-3.24) more chances and the elderly have 1.19 (95% CI 1.00-1.41) chances of reporting a high score for PHC quality than the others. Conclusion: The use of PCATool in the reduced version in a telephone survey showed a new possibility for PHC performance assessment and can become useful in the management of health services.
