Abstract:

The article addresses the impacts of armed violence, based on Primary Health Care, in a district in the city of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. This is a qualitative exploratory study developed in two health services, with the objective of understanding the main types of violence in the area and identifying its impacts and the strategies used to face this phenomenon. The production of information included collecting data on health records and conducting semi-structured interviews, focus groups and a feedback seminar. Armed violence, among all expressions of violence, was identified as one of the major concerns of health professionals and users services due to their intense occurrence and the severity of their health consequences. Its impact on strategies to confront violence and the difficulty in making the phenomenon visible are highlighted. It is considered that this type of violence, prevalent in the black territories of the city, is legitimized by structural racism, being the public security policy - based on the ideals of war on drugs and on the military confrontation with armed groups working in the retail trade in illicit drugs - expressions of state racism and necropolitics.
