Evaluation of the implementation of the Clinic on the Street: a case study

Abstract

We aim to understand the adaptations of Clinic on the Street program to the territorial context, based on the normative bases, carried out by a team, which offers health care for people in homelessness. For this, we carried out an analysis of its implementation, through participating research and evaluative case study, which involved participant observation, interviews and documentary analysis. Fieldwork and subsequent discussion with the team supported the development of the logical model and the preparation and completion of the evaluation matrix. The results indicate an advanced degree of implementation of the case studied, except for serving users of psychoactive substances and ensuring logistics to the team's itinerancy. The program faces challenges in the face of management restrictions and limitations of the municipality's service network, which hinder the achievement of equity.
