The contributions of the Social and Human Sciences in the field of Collective Health: twenty years of the journal Interface

We present a discussion about the bibliographic production in Social and Human Sciences in Health (SHSH) published by the journal Interface in the last twenty years (1997-2017). We aim to describe the legitimation process of the SHSH by disseminating theoretical and methodological knowledge and specific themes within the Brazilian scientific production. All the publications of the period were consulted and 216 articles identified with the SHSH were selected. The analysis resulted in categories that highlighted the following themes: mental health, aging, infectious diseases, gender, reproductive health, and theoretical-conceptual. The combination of the themes with current problems of the Brazilian society reveals authors as protagonists of studies that have social relevance and political commitment to transformations and changes occurring both in health care and in public policies.

本研究针对《Interface》期刊1997年至2017年二十年间刊载的健康社会与人文学科（Social and Human Sciences in Health, SHSH）相关文献成果展开探讨。本研究旨在通过在巴西科研产出范畴内传播理论与方法学知识及特定研究主题，阐明健康社会与人文学科的合法化进程。研究检索了该时段内的全部刊载文献，最终筛选出216篇隶属于健康社会与人文学科范畴的文章。本次分析提炼出六大主题类别：心理健康、老龄化、传染病、性别议题、生殖健康以及理论-概念研究。将上述研究主题与巴西社会当下的现实问题相结合可见，相关研究的作者们作为研究主力，开展了兼具社会价值的研究，并展现出推动医疗保健与公共政策领域变革的政治担当。
