• Abstract:

  This research aims to characterize

  the socioeconomic profile of those responsible

  for children with a diagnosis of microcephaly

  related by Zika Virus. There were 49 interviewees,

  being the main caregiver of children with

  microcephaly in Salvador and metropolitan

  region, a questionnaire containing 30 closed

  questions that address family, socioeconomic

  and health issues. The site was hosted by the

  NGO Abraço a Microcephaly in Salvador-Bahia,

  8 samples were eliminated because they denied

  the contagion with zika in gestation, totaling 41

  interviews for data analysis. It was observed

  that most babies are between 15-18 months

  and most have been diagnosed intrauterine,

  large numbers of fathers and mothers are

  unemployed, survive with up to 1 minimum

  wage, have completed high school, are single

  or In stable union and a significant number cite

  reduced sanitary conditions and deny to use

  repellent. The primary caregiver reported in greater numbers that they do not have

  their own residenceand largely take the children to do simultaneous multiprofessional

  care in public hospitals and non-profit institutions.
