Abstract(s)
Introdução: Fatores de natureza social, cultural e relacionados com o ambiente físico, são
determinantes para a saúde dos migrantes.
Objetivo: Contribuir para a promoção da Literacia em Saúde dos migrantes residentes num
bairro de um concelho da Área Metropolitana de Lisboa, no âmbito dos riscos de saúde
associados às questões ambientais.
Método: Partindo da Metodologia de Planeamento em Saúde, foi desenvolvido neste bairro
um Projeto de Intervenção Comunitária. O estudo transversal, descritivo e de natureza
exploratória permitiu caraterizar as condições ambientais em que esta comunidade vive, sua
perceção respetiva, e ainda conhecer o nível existente de Literacia em Saúde.
Resultados: Da análise dos dados obtidos, comprovou-se a existência de riscos ambientais
para a saúde e, igualmente, baixos níveis de Literacia em Saúde na maioria dos domínios
considerados. Deste modo, justificou-se a necessidade de intervenção na promoção da
Literacia em Saúde, com destaque para os riscos ambientais.
Conclusão: Reconheceu-se assim a importância do desenvolvimento de Projetos de
Intervenção Comunitária nestas populações, com a adoção de estratégias que favoreçam a
participação ativa e a adesão da comunidade, e com isso se obterem ganhos em saúde.

Objective: Contribute to the promotion of Health Literacy among migrants residing in a district in a municipality in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon, within the scope of health risks associated with environmental issues. Method: Based on the Health Planning Methodology, a Community Intervention Project was developed in this neighborhood. The cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study allowed characterizing the environmental conditions in which this community lives, their respective perception, and even knowing the existing level of Health Literacy. Results: From the analysis of the obtained data, it was proved the existence of environmental risks for health and, equally, low levels of Health Literacy in most of the domains considered. Thus, the need for intervention in the promotion of Health Literacy was justified, with emphasis on environmental risks. Conclusion: The importance of developing Community Intervention Projects in these populations was recognized, with the adoption of strategies that favor the active participation and adherence of the community, and with that, health gains are obtained.
