Abstract:

Since 2019, the IBGE has been playing a leading role in the scenario of public policy evaluation in Brazil. After the National Health Survey (PNS) evaluated primary care services in the Health Unic System (SUS) provided to adults, in 2022, the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD-C) investigated child health. For this, it used one of the versions of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), developed and disseminated by Starfield and Shi to assess the existence and extent of the attributes of primary health care services. The target audience surveyed included children under 13 years of age, and the questionnaires were answered by their caregivers. It contemplated all 27 units of the country\'s federation, in random probabilistic samples, also unfolding in the metropolitan regions and capitals of Brazil. This is the largest household survey on child health assessment ever carried out in Brazil (n > 200,000 households and visits to around 3,500 municipalities). From the PNS-2019 and the PNAD-C in 2022, IBGE inaugurates its greatest legacy for primary health care in Brazil, with regard to the evaluation of SUS users, with all federation units (re)knowing how Brazilian society evaluates health services at the first level of care.
