Abstract

This project aims to enhance the analysis of data collected in the study "Assessment of physical health needs and patterns of healthcare utilization among people with mental disorders in a medium-sized municipality in São Paulo," with a focus on systematizing this information to support Audit and Feedback cycles. The initiative will be carried out through an academic immersion at Yale University, aiming to deepen quantitative analyses and develop strategies to improve the integration of care within the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) of Itatiba-SP. The data obtained will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and crude and adjusted multiple regression models, followed by discussions with the Program for Recovery & Community Health (PRCH) team using Shared Appreciation Groups (GAPs). Based on these analyses, an Audit and Feedback model will be structured to guide the implementation of improvements in services. In addition to enhancing the analyses, it is expected that interaction with the PRCH will strengthen academic collaborations and contribute to the formulation of a future project aimed at implementing the outlined strategies. The expected impact includes the production of scientific publications and knowledge transfer to the RAPS, promoting the comprehensiveness of mental and physical healthcare. (AU)
