GEOGRAFIA DA SAÚDE NO CONTEXTO DE DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS NÃO TRANSMISSÍVEIS: etilismo no município de Aquidauana/MS

Abstract

The number of individuals who use alcoholic beverages in Brazil has been growing constantly, which presents serious dangers to health and causes disorganization in family and social relationships. According to the Alcohol Health Information Center (COSA), in 2023 45% of Brazilians consumed alcoholic beverages at parties, social events, weddings, in their own homes, among other places. Thus, the main objective of this work is to survey and analyze information about people who consume alcohol in Aquidauana, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, with the purpose of providing public policies aimed at this specific group. Thus, initially a bibliographical survey was carried out through scientific collections to gain greater depth on the topic in question. Soon after, data and information provided by Occupational Health Surveillance (VISAT), the Aquidauana Municipal Department of Health and Planning and the local Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) were used. In view of this, it was possible to observe that the information and data made available by the Municipal Department of Health and Planning, as well as by the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) of Aquidauana, are not updated and complete, which caused considerable difficulty in conducting the research investigation.
