Abstract
ABSTRACT The School Health Program (PSE) aims to promote health actions in schools through pedagogical tools developed between health and education. A study was carried out in the city of Matinhos, State of Paraná, Brazil, by the PSE within the scope of the Luiz Carlos dos Santos municipal school including 60 students from the 5th grades, from March to August 2019. Characteristics of participatory action-research and problematization methodology were used, being a type of social and qualitative study. For data collection, the method of Charles de Maguerez Arch was used. As research result, a pedagogical tool was developed at school and in the community’, the intervention project ‘School, health, environment, and community mobilized against the Aedes aegypti’. The study proved that the application of existing public policies such as the PSE, through intersectoriality, environmental health education, and mechanical vector control actions, without applicability of poison, are appropriate actions for the disease prevention, such as the elimination of vector breeding sites; thus, making effective the use of environmental health education in schools as a health promotion strategy.
