Relevance of valuation of teenager health care in the basic network: an experience report

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relevance of valuing adolescent health care in the basic network, when reporting the experience of implementing a health education group for this age group. It is an experience report of a Health Education Project, using the “Conversation Wheel” methodology, in order to verify the perception of the adolescent aged 11 to 15 years, about themselves and their role in the society to later put together a strategy to subsidize the health care of this population. During the dynamics offered, the adolescents' willingness to understand topics related to health and social aspects was observed. The desire to provide activities that bring this group closer to preventive actions was mentioned at the time, this being the next stage of this project. Although the FHS is the gateway to primary health, there are still no active participation actions by adolescents, and this experience demonstrates that it is possible to include this audience in this process, so that we have the effectiveness of health based on SUS principles of universality, equity and integrality.
