Resumen
A great importance area in Primary Care is teenager’s health assistance, which
represents 17.9% of the Brazilian population nowadays. Characteristically, this age group
is exposed to situations of risk, such as drug abuse, precocious pregnancy and violence.
Despite knowledge of its importance, both health professionals and service managers
face various difficulties in structuring teenagers care. These extend from the under qualification of staff, to lack of social and political interest, to questions regarding lack of
educational/familial structure and those situations of vulnerability characteristic of
teenagers. The proposal here is to adapt health care assistance to meet the needs of the
adolescents of the territory´s community served by the Family Health Team of
“Andorinhas” – Morro Santana, in Ouro Preto town. A study of the municipality and of the
team’s ascribed area was undertaken, using the Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA)
method to formulate a situational diagnosis. Based on its results, and on a literature
review, the team prioritized the topic ‘Adolescent Health Care in building an action plan for
health for the year 2014, using the Situational Strategic Planning (SSP) method.
