Abstract:

The health promotion paradigm led to the acknowledgment of health as a result of factors linked to the social, political and economic contexts. In Brazil, health inequities are considered one of the most striking features of its health situation, challenging the effectiveness of intersectoral policies. The present study aimed to know socially vulnerable community-dwellers’ perception of the problems that interfere with the health conditions and the coping strategies used. The methodology consisted of a participatory research based on Participatory Diagnosis carried out with 31 key informantsthe community studied in Fortaleza, Ceará. As a result, the participants showed that the community presents health problems due to the fragility of intersectoral actions (infrastructure, public safety, basic sanitation, garbage collection, among others) and that they seek to confront them through social mobilization actions and supportinstitutions. Given that, the Participatory Diagnosis is thought to increase social involvement with health promotion and problem solving and contributes to guaranteeing the right to the city to all its residents.
