Abstract

This article discusses thematizations about prejudice in the discourse of health workers who attended Projeto Caminhos do Cuidado, identifying effects that contributed to overcoming these relationships in relation to users of alcohol and other drugs. We use qualitative methodology with content analysis. The analysis was based on data from 78 conversation circles and 39 ethnographic records, which occurred in the 27 Federative Units of Brazil. The data describe the workers' reflexive movements that allowed the framing of identity relations beyond moral screens and the essentialization of the subjects. Our results point to the importance of ‘experience’ for the deconstruction of stereotypes and prejudices, as it produces the deidentification processes necessary to overcome prejudices. We highlight the importance of the Community Health Agent, as the strategic professional to work with the theme of prejudice in the territories.
