Study design: Study based on collection of information by means of a Structured Questionnaire. Objective of the study: To determine indicators of the economic and cultural situation of the families of high school students who intend to enroll in courses for the formation of health professionals. Methodology: Self-report questionnaires were answered by 256 high school students who were visiting the Professions Fair of USP (FPUSP- inland). The questionnaires contained questions about the type of school the students frequented and the work activities of their parents. Group 1 consisted of 108 Public School students and Group 2 consisted of 148 Private School students. Results: The most frequent paternal professional activity was “Manual Technician” (42.15%) for Group 1 and “University Level Professional” (24.11%) for Group 2 . The largest group of mothers in Group 1 consisted of “Housewives” (22.33%), followed by the group of mothers who had “Other Manual Professions” (21.36%). In Group 2, the most frequent category for the mothers was “University Level Professional” (23.18%), followed by “Teachers and Directors of Schools” (19.56%). Five participants in Group 1 and 27 in Group 2 were children of Health Professionals. Conclusions: Despite the differences in the work activities predominating in each group studied, the results confirm the ambition to become a Health Professional regardless of the training or profession of the parentsDownloads
