- Abstract
Objective: identify the behavior of the demand for services of the unified health system during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the racial profile of women in Bagé. Method: cross-sectional, population-based study with four serial surveys fortnightly, in which a representative sample of individuals in the city of Bagé was interviewed. Held from April to June 2020. Results: There were 984 female interviewees. It has been shown that skin color can determine the health profile. As for the search for a health service in the two weeks prior to the interview, brown women differ from white women, with a higher demand for health care. Primary care units represented the most prevalent health service in all skin color groups. Conclusion: In the context studied, primary care services were available and were used by a group that often encounters barriers to access to health.
