Objectives:
to analyze the social determinants of health involved in adolescent students' mental distress in the municipality of Cuiabá.
Methods:
a qualitative study, linked to a matrix project, based on the social determinants of health theoretical model by Solar and Irwin. Data came from a matrix research study, analyzing 98 interviews with adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. The interviews were guided by a self-assessment instrument for emotional aspects and social competencies: Youth Self-Report. Qualitative data analysis was carried out using the thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke.
Results:
in light of the adopted theoretical model, three subcategories emerged from the structural determinants of health category, and six subcategories from the intermediate determinants of health category.
Final Considerations:
by using the Solar and Irwin model, it was possible to identify that the social determinants of health play an important role in manifestation of mental health symptoms among adolescents.
