ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe how a sample of people working in community health promotion projects perceive and implement community engagement approaches.METHOD:
Mixed qualitative-quantitative study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 people representing the projects, and workshops in which 53 people participated and responded to a questionnaire prepared ad hoc to identify levels of community engagement. Descriptive statistical analysis of the questionnaires and framework analysis of the interviews, observations and workshops recordings.RESULTS:
Although the projects are described as highly participatory, community engagement appeared mainly in the form of attending events, with few examples of consultation or community involvement.CONCLUSIONS:
This difference may be due to the lack of a culture of participation, both in individuals and institutions, and lack of training in community engagement. It is proposed to change the language from participation-attendance to using expressions such as consulting or involving people.Palavras-chave
