The role of the community health worker to strengthen popular education in health
Abstract: Objective: To discuss the Community Health Agent (CHA)'s role as a popular educator. Methods: Qualitative methodology, based on dialogic conception of action-research, using as methodological procedures focal group's interview and workshops, and content analysis. Subjects were 14 CHA from two Programmatic Areas of Rio de Janeiro city, that participated in a focal-group in november of 2010. Results: The analysis showed that the CHA performs activities based on popular education's assumptions, also permeated by normative conception and "banking education", as an attempt to obtain acknowledgement inside health team. Conclusion: The CHA is a potential popular educator that can contribute to Primary Care's success. For that, CHAs should seek their qualification and collective empowerment and think about the contradictions of their work
