Abstract:

The study analyzes initiatives for people in homelessness in Portugal, United States and Brazil, aimed at overcoming difficulties in access and ensure continuity of health care for this population. We used the comparative analysis, through literature and document review, listing three categories: context (demographic, socioeconomic, epidemiological); service system characteristics (access, coverage, organization, management, financing); characteristics of mobile units (design, care model, financing, social participation). The analysis was based on the theory of convergence / divergence between health systems. The search for improved access, the approach of the abuse of psychoactive substances, active search and multidisciplinary work proved to be common to all three countries. Relationships with primary care and social participation in the formulation and monitoring of these initiatives are considered in different ways in the three countries. This study provides insights for future empirical studies along the analyzed services that will know better as discussed characteristics influence the performance of these services.
