PALMEIRA, Nathalia Campos et al. Analysis of access to health services in Brazil according to sociodemographic profile: National Health Survey, 2019. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.3, e2022966. Epub 25-Nov-2022. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s2237-96222022000300013.
Objective:
to describe the access to and utilization of health services among the Brazilian population according to sociodemographic characteristics, based on the 2019 National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde - PNS).
Methods:
this was a cross-sectional descriptive study based on a PNS sample; the prevalence and respective confidence intervals of data stratified by sex, schooling, age and national macro-region of residence were calculated; data were analyzed using Stata software version 16.1.
Results:
a total of 293,725 individuals were interviewed; males showed lower proportion of medical consultations (66.6%) and were less likely to seek care (17.6%); among those living in the North region, 69.1% had medical consultations; 16.5% of individuals with low level of education obtained medication through the Brazilian Popular Pharmacy Program.
Conclusion:
the results reinforce iniquities in access to and utilization of health services, in addition to the need for monitoring indicators in order to guide health policies in Brazil.
