Abstract:
This paper develops a critical analysis of the implications of defining the family as an object of intervention in health, taking as reference case the Family Health Program and proposing an evaluation of its socio-cultural impact. As a strategic space for manifestation, confrontation, and therefore observation of the health-illness process, the family requires a multidisciplinary approach to its structure, dynamics, and behavior in the face of health-related problems, determinants, and actions. We present a proposal for assessment of the Family Health Program based on the premise that problems and practices in the health field are socio-culturally determined.
