Territory, epidemiology and geoprocessing: catalysts for health education actions in the historical context of leprosy in Brazil
Geoprocessing techniques are important tools for locating health problems, and enhance actions when sectors are in the same territory. This study identified the concentration of cases of leprosy, schools and health units having the territory as a facilitator of actions in the School Health Program (SHP). It is a cross-sectional, quantitative study, considering new cases of leprosy registered in the Notified Aggravated Information System (SINAN) between the years 2007 and 2016.
