COMES, Yamila  and  STOLKINER, Alicia. Social representations of health attention rights in a poor woman group. Anu. investig. [online]. 2006, vol.13, pp.211-219. ISSN 1851-1686.

The aim of this work is to study the social representations of the right to heatlh attention of poor women selected by theoretical sampling. The methodology strategy is cualitative. Twenty five semistructured interviews were done and the associative map technique was applied. The construction of the categories was based on the Grounded Theory principles. Results: The central nucleus of most of the discourses is related with the equality concept. But this equality definition denotes correspondence with theoretical positions of liberalism related with charity concepts ("to every one according to his essential necessities"). The construction of a total citizenship based on the human and social rights guarantee with equality character and universal cover will need the transformation of this representations.
