A recent report from State University in Passos, Brazil explores the concept of longitudinality in the production of care in Family Health from the perspective of users. The study involved qualitative research with 18 users of a family health unit in a municipality in the state of São Paulo. The findings highlight elements of organizational constraints, workforce, hard and soft technologies, as well as the user's co-responsibility for their health condition and lifestyle. The research concludes that while Family Health is capable of offering continuous or extended longitudinality, low coverage of the strategy can limit access to other levels of care and compromise the continuity of care.
