Abstract
OBJECTIVES: demonstrate and discuss how the black population's access to health services occurs Methods: integrative literature review with the following question: How does the black population's access to health services occur? The search was carried out in the Scholar, LILACS and SciELO databases and used the descriptor "access to health services" and the term "population," resulting in a sample with twelve articles. RESULTS: studies show that the difficulty of access is a fundamental factor for the quality of life of people, directly compromising preventive services, especially for women's health and, in addition, it has significant impact on the illness process of the black population within its particularities. Final Considerations: several limiting factors compromise the black population's access to health services, including institutional and structural factors.
