Résumé
"The scope of this article was to present the methodology, preliminary descriptive results and the reliability of the instruments used in the COMQUISTA Project. It involved a cross-section- al study with adults ( ≥ 18 years) and children (up to 5 years old) of Quilombola communities in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. Data collection consisted of individual and household interviews, anthropometric and blood pressure measure- ments. A semi-structured questionnaire adapted from the Brazilian National Health Survey (PNS) was used and the interviews were conducted us- ing handheld computers. 397 housing units were visited and 797 adults and 130 children were in- terviewed. The demographic profile of the Quilo- mbolas was similar to the Brazilian population with respect to sex and age, however, they had precarious access to basic sanitation and a low socioeconomic status. The analysis of reliability revealed the adequacy of strategies adopted for quality assurance and control in the study. The methodology used was considered adequate to achieve the objectives and can be used in other populations. The results indicate the need for im- plementing strategies to improve the quality of life and reduce the degree of vulnerability of the Quilombolas."
