Abstract Body

The objective of study was to verify if Primary Care teams that have better structured Primary Health Care (PHC) attributes are able to offer good care in Mental Health (MS). Cross-sectional study from the 2nd cycle of the Program for Improving Access and Quality in Primary Care. Types made: Quality of care in MS and Structuring of PHC according to essential attributes, The Delphi technique was used for consensus and the variables were endorsed by specialists. With multinomial logistic regression analyzes, associations between types were sought and it was identified which attribute most contributed to the quality of care in MS. One third of the teams are in poor quality of care in MS. Regional differences are maintained both for structuring PHC and for the quality of care for MS. There was a 14.7 times greater chance of producing a better quality of care in MS when PHC is better structured. A high level of comprehensiveness is associated with a high level of quality of care in MS. It is concluded that there is a predominance of low levels of quality of care in the area of MS, highlighting the need for integrated and coordinated actions for PHC in Brazil.
