Abstract:

Household surveys represent one of the main methodologies used in population-based studies. The purpose of this narrative review of the literature is to gather and describe the main household surveys of national and international relevance. In Brazil, the historical role played by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in conducting the most important research in the production of social data stands out. The Medical-Health Care Survey (Pesquisa de Assistência Médico-Sanitária, AMS) and the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), with the episodic publication of Health Supplements, consist of the main sources of health information in the country. In 2013, IBGE, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, launched the National Health Survey (PNS), the largest household health survey ever conducted in Brazil. PNS-2019 received a major expansion, both thematic and in its sample, and, for the first time, applied the Primary Care Assessment Tool to assess primary health care services in all 27 Brazilian’ states.
