Abstract:

This article discusses the meanings attached to practices that promote adolescent health by 47 professionals from the Family Health Program in Fortaleza, Ceara. It is a qualitative study in which semi-structured interviews enabled the production of data, then organized according to content analysis, resulting in the themes: promoting health associated to injury prevention; the reduction of promoting health in the school; the absence of promoting health for adolescents in the health care service; and a partnership as a viable way of promoting health for adolescents. The promoting health actions were developed in a punctual way and mostly in the pre-natal, family planning, and cancer prevention programs. The health professionals found the school setting to be an important, viable place for a partnership of health promoting actions for adolescents. There was evidence, although incipient, of the health professionals’ willingness to reorient this practice in the health care service.
