Abstract

This research details an approach to health practice in communities, emphasizing the importance of understanding social, institutional, and environmental relationships within a specific territory. The proposal suggests the inclusion of new actors in health, beyond traditional professionals, involving the organized population to address both clinical-epidemiological and social determinants. The approach process includes various stages, such as direct observation, information gathering, communication, and engagement with the community, identification of key informants, institutional analysis, community mobilization and participation, as well as mapping and strategic planning. The study emphasizes the need to respect local beliefs and traditions, promote knowledge exchange, and encourage active community participation in health decisions. The proposed approach aims to align health practices with the collective interests of society, promoting a more integrated and effective community health.
