Políticas públicas, vulnerabilidade social e seus efeitos na saúde mental da população negra em um município do Recôncavo da Bahia

Abstract

This text presents a research that carried out analysis of Execution Reports, Activities, medical records and referrals produced in a CRAS in a city in the Recôncavo of Bahia. The objective was to understand if there is a relationship between the impoverishment and psychological distress of the female and black population, the majority of the population served, as well as whether these social determinants associated with racism and machismo produce even more deleterious effects in this same population group. We concluded from the analysis of the researched documents that most of the CRAS claimants are black women who have become poorer in the last three years and who have been referred more to the CAPS in the city, which shows greater psychological distress experienced in this period.
