    Ciencia E Saude Coletiva, 2025
    The Homeless Population (HP) has grown exponentially in the last decade, causing different challenges for the Brazilian Unified Health System, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study, with triangulated quantitative and qualitative methods, was conducted from 2020 to 2022, exploring care practices geared to the HP in Belo Horizonte. The quantitative stage adopted official datasets from the health and social assistance secretariats, and 48 semi-structured interviews and four focus groups were conducted in the qualitative stage, totaling 86 participants. The results point to the need for implementing a polyarchic and multidisciplinary Healthcare Network (RAS-PSR) with intersectoral support, guided care territorialization and longitudinality integrated with information systems to address the complex approach and based on the logic of the expanded clinic. Updating HP records in health systems and qualifying services is needed to achieve RAS-PSR efficacy. Understanding the dynamics of actions developed or broadened by the municipality and lessons learned locally can assist the development of effective social care and health policies that can be upscaled to the national level.
  • Between the streets and the RAPS: Integrative review on the access of the homeless population to Mental Health Services
    Priscilla Victória Rodrigues Fraga, Maria Cecília Assis de Araújo, Anelise Andrade de Souza, Ana Luísa Jorge Martins, Ana Carolina de Moraes Teixeira Vilela Dantas, et al.
    Ciencia E Saude Coletiva, 2025
    This integrative review systematized the factors that influence access to mental health services for the Homeless Population (HP) in harmful use of alcohol and other drugs in the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) in Brazil by categorizing the factors into access “barriers” and “facilitators”. We selected 13 corresponding articles and subsequently assessed their methodological quality. We identified 19 access barriers and 22 access facilitators, observing a convergence and complementarity of the factors identified, with no disagreements between authors. Although there are specific barriers and facilitators related to substance use, most are connected to HP’s conditions and lifestyles or how services address the HP. Discrimination, bureaucratic rigidity of services, and a lack of intra- and intersectoral integration were identified as significant barriers. On the other hand, Street Outreach Clinics and practices such as harm reduction and matrix-based support emerged as notable facilitators, adapting to patients’ needs. Future studies should explore specific factors and the relationships between these factors.
  • The paradox of growing technical capacities with low global governance: a review of Voluntary National Reviews’ SDG health-related indicators
    Ana Luisa Jorge Martins, Rômulo Paes-Sousa
    Globalization and Health, 2024
    Background This study delves into the States’ accountability for health-related Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators from 2016 to 2020. An analysis of Voluntary National Reviews (VNR) is employed as an instrument to scrutinize the alignment of States’ indicators with the global indicator framework, shedding light on global health governance within the context of the 2030 Agenda and States’ strategic prioritization. A curation of 60 health-related indicators from 195 VNRs, produced during the aforementioned period, is organized into thematic groups. Results Our results highlight a concerning discrepancy in the reporting frequency of various health-related themes. The findings reveal a paradoxical coexistence characterized by the concurrent strengthening and diminution of the global health governance articulated in the Agenda’s global health governance. This manifests in the increased utilization and consistency of health-related indicators over the study years, coupled with an emphasis on infectious diseases and child and maternal health indicators. Conversely, a discernible governance decline is evidenced by the inadequate representation of health-related indicators in VNRs, notably within the domains of universal health coverage and health system indicators. Furthermore, High-Income States exhibit diminished accountability. Conclusions The VNRs unveil a paradox wherein burgeoning technical capacity coexists with governance deficits, a phenomenon attributable to both statistical capabilities and political preferences. The prevalent use of proxy indicators in VNRs oversimplifies the presentation of official indicators, thereby compromising the aspirational goal of pioneering statistical innovations for measuring intricate issues in the SDGs. In light of our conceptualization of the 2030 Agenda’s global health as a regime complex governance, we advocate for comprehensive investigations into each health regime cluster. This approach aims to unravel disputes, discern patterns, and elucidate States’ preferences concerning specific thematic areas. Functioning as an accountability mechanism for the Agenda’s governance, VNRs underscore States’ adaptability and short-term learning capabilities, offering valuable insights for identifying harmful goal prioritization. The discretionary nature of indicator selection by States in the VNRs, enabled by the Agenda’s proposition of a contextual adaptation of the SDGs and a blind eye to the guideline’s request to review all SDG indicators, highlights a critical flaw in the VNR as an accountability mechanism.

  • The homeless population: communication and (dis)information in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic
    Ana Maria Caldeira Oliveira, Ana Carolina de Moraes Teixeira Vilela Dantas, Anelise Andrade de Souza, Rafaela Alves Marinho, Ana Luísa Jorge Martins, et al.
    Interface Communication Health Education, 2024
    O estudo objetivou identificar os sentidos produzidos pela comunicação dirigida à população em situação de rua (PSR) durante a pandemia de Covid-19 na cidade de Belo Horizonte. Por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo, analisaram-se 48 entrevistas realizadas com a PSR; gestores e trabalhadores do Sistema Único de Saúde e do Sistema Único de Assistência Social; e representantes da Pastoral do Povo da Rua e da Defensoria Pública. Cinco temáticas identificadas respaldam os resultados e a discussão: pandemia e seu surgimento; fechamento da cidade e consequências para PSR; desinformação e reprodução de estigmas; desinformação e vacinação; e infodemia. Os resultados indicaram que a comunicação relacionada à pandemia foi considerada como fator de menor importância no planejamento público, ocasionando impacto negativo no enfrentamento social da doença. Destaca-se a importância de estratégias de comunicação públicas, inclusivas, dialógicas – com identificação e escuta dos grupos populacionais vulneráveis – e adaptadas às suas necessidades.
  • Access to health and social protection policies by homeless people during the COVID-19 pandemic: a mixed-methods case study on tailored inter-sector care during a health emergency
    Ana Luisa Jorge Martins, Anelise Andrade de Souza, Gabriela Drummond Marques da Silva, Ana Carolina de Moraes Teixeira Vilela Dantas, Rafaela Alves Marinho, et al.
    Frontiers in Public Health, 2024
    IntroductionThe article analyzed homeless people's (HP) access to health and social protection policies and tailored inter-sector care, including emergency measures, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Belo Horizonte (BH), capital of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. It intended to provide data on HP and evaluate existing public policies focused on vulnerable populations during this health emergency.MethodsThe study adopted a mixed-methods design with triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data.ResultsSocial cartography showed that in the early months of the pandemic, the health administration had difficulty reordering the health system, which experienced constant updates in the protocols but was nevertheless consolidated over the months. The evidence collected in the study showed that important emergency interventions in the municipality of BH involved activities that facilitated access by HP to the supply of services.DiscussionThe existence of national guidelines for inter-sector care for HP cannot be ruled out as a positive influence, although the municipalities are responsible for their implementation. Significantly, a health emergency was necessary to intensify the relationship between health and social protection services. Roving services were among those with the greatest positive evidence, with the least need for infrastructure to be replicated at the local level. In addition, the temporary supply of various inter-sector services, simultaneously with the provision of day shelters by organized civil society, was considered a key factor for expanding and intensifying networks of care for HP during the emergency phase. A plan exists to continue and expand this model in the future. The study concluded that understanding the inter-sector variables that impact HP contributes to better targeting of investments in interventions that work at the root causes of these issues or that increase the effectiveness of health and social protection systems.
  • The interface between public policies for the unhoused population: an integrative review
    Ana Luísa Jorge Martins, Anelise Andrade de Souza, Luísa da Matta Machado Fernandes, Ana Maria Caldeira Oliveira, Júlia Coutinho Cordeiro, et al.
    Ciencia E Saude Coletiva, 2023
    Resumo A heterogeneidade e vulnerabilidade da população em situação de rua revelam a complexidade de viver nessa condição e exige que o Estado tenha papel fundamental na oferta de políticas de saúde e assistência social. O objetivo do estudo, a partir de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, foi avaliar a intersetorialidade entre políticas de saúde, proteção social e ações da sociedade civil organizada para a população em situação de rua no Brasil. Foi realizada uma busca nas bases SciELO, Lilacs e PubMed, sendo selecionados dez artigos, publicados entre 2004-2021, todos de caráter qualitativo. Observou-se indícios da intersetorialidade entre as políticas para a população em situação de rua, descritas principalmente como uma ponte de acesso entre os serviços ofertados. Entretanto, as intervenções ainda são pouco exploradas e sistematizadas. Nesse sentido, recomenda-se que estudos de impacto voltados à avaliação de políticas públicas intersetoriais sejam desenvolvidos para que se permita a avaliação da efetividade da intersetorialidade entre os serviços de saúde, assistência social e sociedade civil organizada na qualidade de vida da população em situação de rua.
  • Potential and challenges of health monitoring in the 2030 Agenda in Brazil
    Ana Luisa Jorge Martins, Fabrício Silveira, Anelise Andrade de Souza, Rômulo Paes-Sousa
    Ciencia E Saude Coletiva, 2022
    This article has two integrated objectives: (i) to identify the representation of health in the 2030 Agenda from health-related indicators implemented by international and national institutions; and (ii) to compare the potential of platforms for monitoring Brazilian health commitments in the SDGs. It is argued that there are still important controversies brought about by the greater complexity of the 2030 Agenda, particularly in the operationalization of health-related indicators, whose determinants permeate many other objectives and goals. Finally, even though the picture of the country currently available on national and international platforms is already broad, improvements are required for more effective monitoring and evaluation of Brazilian commitments in the SDGs, with greater disaggregation and stratification of indicators in the population.
