Abstract The present project is inserted in Research Line 1: "The role of subnational regulation in mediating the implementation of national policies", more specifically, is aligned with the objectives of Subproject 4: "Health policy: comparing experiences in the State of Sao Paulo". The research proposal seeks to analyse the ways in which Bolivian immigrant women interact with the policies of the Unified Health System (SUS) from the reconstruction of their therapeutic itineraries. The proposed methodology consists of a brief ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews with Bolivian women and participant observation in Basic Health Units (BHU) and hospitals located in the central region of São Paulo. Considering the different social markers of difference and the different dimensions in which inequalities operate and combine in given contexts, the proposal seeks to contribute to the research line by providing a knowledge of public policies based on people's use of them, identifying obstacles and strengths and making visible, at the same time, the political agency of these people. The focus on the migrant population is due to a growing problem in the world's metropolises, and particularly to a reality that in Brazil leads to urgent reflections on how to include these populations. The study of therapeutic itineraries is a theoretical-methodological-analytical tool of great relevance because from its reconstruction it is possible not only to access the various forms of interaction between subjects and policies but also to the different everyday worlds where people develop their life and also interact with other policies through various services. Thus, the deep knowledge of the praxis of therapeutic itineraries is an input to public policies of enormous wealth, since it allows understanding how these policies actually operate. Finally, this research proposal aims to contribute to the knowledge of the interactions between vulnerable populations and health policies focused on Bolivian immigrant women. | |
