Main Categories of Theme 2 Identified in the Interviews.

Categories Primary theme
Theme 2: Attempt to form networks
Participation of sport, leisure, and culture as a permanent promise Inline graphic [...] to set up an intersectoral commission, education is involved, social [work] is involved, and sport, you know..., they could not participate in, in the meeting. [...] (HM1)
Inline graphic And then we will have now, making up the team for the next... meeting, a representative of, of the secretary of sport. [...] (HM2)
Inline graphic In addition to education, it was proposed to ask... to invite the social [work], culture, sport, to help develop the activities [...] of the intersectoral work. (HM3)
Absence of any systematic recommendation for intersectoral collaboration Inline graphic We leave... them [FHS teams] free to visit schools, to develop activities. Yes, right there in the children's daily lives, to see what could be done. So, the Department of Health, we leave them free to be close to the children while it is... education, as a school, as a project, of social assistance, to work better, even better with... understanding what children really need. (HM3)
Health criticized other sectors for not having an expanded view of health and health promotion Inline graphic ‘Ah, but this is the responsibility of the health [sector], this is not my job’, right? ‘Ah, but why do these people come here to school to do this kind of thing? Oh no, but the health [sector] has to take care of dengue. I have nothing to do with dengue.’ Right? (HM2)
Asymmetrical position of health and social work in relation to health and social issues Inline graphic They [education workers] don't have it, it seems they don't have our vision. Well, I think the view of health is a differentiated view. We find places of work, places for intervention, we go beyond schools. Today we work with other programs, we can work in churches. How if we already work with churches! Who invites us to participate, right? We work... with day care centers, you know, with other types of space... that favor health education. (HM2)
Inline graphic I felt a little uncomfortable because most health professionals think that everything is a social problem; that everything is a problem for the social [work] to solve, that everything is the social [work] that must do. So... to a certain extent, I was even a little worried and afraid, because it seems that the social doesn't want to do it. And then they take the social as the person who is there, right? And I'm not the social, I'm not the person who carries out the policy alone. So, at a certain point it was important to clarify, what is my role, right, within the social [work]. There are a lot of things that they think are social [problems], it's not social, it's public safety. Many things that they think are social [problems] can be worked on by the FHS teams. (SWM)
