Abstract:

Anvisa\'s Public Consultation (PC) is the most used social participation mechanism in regulation, which was based on antagonistic movements: democratization of decision-making and State counter-reformation. Startingthe concept of social participation as various actionssociety related to public decision-making which values diversity and exercising citizenship, the article discusses the possibility of PCs configuring a democratic regulation process by considering popular knowledge, colloquial evidence and promoting the creation of hybrid evidence into an evidence-moderated model. Despite the different interests, the PCs open opportunities for democratic deliberation by society in the search of understanding, is expectedthe State choosing the best decision and justifying it. In this way, the role of evidence in clarifying complex issues is delimited in a space dissent, seen to democratize society, is important to reveal limits of scientific evidence in an environment of information asymmetry. Finally, it is expected to refute technocracy as an instrument of power in health regulation and thus achieve the greatest democratic potential of Anvisa\'s regulation.
