SMOKING GROUP IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICE‘S ORLANDO RIANI

The Filgueiras neighborhood is about 16 km away from the center of Juiz de Fora city. According to IBGE census (2012), its population comprises 4,463 people, with 14.9% of children, 18.84% of teenagers, 54.85% adults and 11.4% of elderly. Social vulnerabilities identified in the community include low education level, low socioeconomic status, informal labor market, poor quality housing and problems related to poor sanitation. According to PAHO, a health system driven by PHC is responsible for the coverage and universal access to health services, with a family and community focus, promoting equity of care, where the family health service (FHS) is responsible for coordinating the care. Smoking is related to many health disorders, being today the leading cause of preventable death in Brazil and worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological profile of the user who seeks the smoking cessation group. METHODOLOGY: To monitor and evaluate the dependency factors, the diagnostic classification and the steps of assessing the smoker, qualitatively and quantitatively; to identify reasons of cessation, supporters and inhibiting factors in the process, and to evaluate and monitor interventions and proposed treatments. To identify elements that characterize community cultural aspects. CONCLUSION: By the end of this process, we expect to trace the epidemiological profile of the user that seeks the Smoking Group, helping the professionals to plan in a focused and person-centered way, and with a strong community orientation.
