🏥 New research in CSP reveals how prejudice against poverty affects care in public health.
A groundbreaking study with 96 professionals from the Family Health Strategy in Fortaleza investigated aporophobia in the context of primary care.
The main findings show that Black professionals tend to have less prejudiced attitudes and that perceptions vary between humanized practices and subtle or explicit prejudices, and that aporophobia compromises access to and quality of health care.
The research reinforces the urgency of continuous training and discussions about the social determinants of health in the training of professionals.
