Abstract:

This study describes the use of health services by quilombola and non-quilombola rural adolescents in the semiarid region of Bahia. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to achieve a closer relationship with the object of study. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 390 adolescents. The use of health services was described through the distribution of frequencies with their respective 95% confidence intervals. Four focus groups were carried out, which were transcribed and analysed through content analysis. The Family Health Unit was reported as the service commonly sought to meet health needs (70.0%). The demand for health services in the last 15 days was 15.1%, the main reason for seeking it was illness (37.3%). The qualitative component revealed multiple contexts that influenced access to services, such as long waiting times, lack of prioritization of care and geographical barriers. Health services must be closer to adolescents with health care that takes into account the particularities of this group.
