Abstract

Drowning represents a major public health problem in the world. Currently, Brazil implements a series of preventive public policies, applied during the season, the summer period in which most drownings occur. This study seeks, through the comparison of data from the years 2016 to 2020, to evaluate the relevance and effectiveness of these policies, in addition to highlighting the occurrence of drownings in Baixada Santista.

This work aims to compare data on drowning deaths in Baixada Santista in the years 2016 to 2020, analyzing the relationship between the summer months and the increase in occurrences, keeping in mind the effectiveness of public prevention measures carried out during the months of season.
