Abstract:
We questioned the users of two public health centers in the city of Recife, North-East Brazil, and a third center in a small neighboring town, about their level of education, their activities, incomes and perception of the functioning of the public health service. Overall, the users of the service, who were mostly women, gave a positive opinion of its functioning. However, the population as a whole perceived use of the public health service to be associated with poverty and social exclusion.
