Resumo
The aim of this study was to investigate living
conditions and therapeutic paths of two quilom-
bola communities residing in the State of Goiás:
Almeidas (rural community), Jardim Cascata (urban
community). We conducted a quantitative and quali-
tative study through questionnaire, semi-structured
interviews with key informants and observation of
reality. Four visits were made to each community in
the years 2010 and 2011. Concerning to the general
characteristics, the communities presented a low
level of education, low income and lack of basic
sanitation. People at those communities mobilize
popular, religious and biomedical knowledge in
their treatments. At Almeidas, people self medicate
using homemade and conventional medication si-
multaneously. There is an elderly lady who prepares
homemade treatments. The people at Jardim Cascata
use mainly conventional self-medication. Family
support networks are more intense in Almeidas
than Jardim Cascata. In both communities, health
services are often closed due staff turnover and poor
infrastructure. Moreover, the two communities have
historical determinations based to a lack of atten-
tion from the public sector and marginalization of
the poor population.
