Abstract

We analyzed the adoption of the VAMOS Program in Primary Health Care settings (PHC). We carried out a community-based study using mixed-methods in Primary Care Units in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. We assessed adoption through the RE-AIM framework. The Primary Care Unit adoption rate was 25%, and the adoption rate among professionals was 80%. We identified three themes related to adoption and, we found that organizational factors are among the challenges that health professionals face when they implement collective actions in PHC units. Still, they were not inherent factors in adopting VAMOS. Therefore, the VAMOS Program can be offered as a new health promotion methodology in PHC settings.
