It examines responsibilities across service use and training/education, highlighting overlaps and divergences. A quantitative, census-based study was conducted under the PET-Saúde program (2010–2012) using a semi-structured questionnaire. Results show CHWs more associated with community context tasks, while dental auxiliaries predominate in clinical-environment activities.

Objective: To analyze the attributes of the dental auxiliaries and of the CHWs, regarding the application of their services and their education/training, to identify the similarities and contrasts between these health care practitioners. Methodology: Quantitative and census method data collection performed on the context of the Education Program for Health Workers-PET-Saúde, 2010-2012. The data collection method was a semi-structured questionnaire. The analysis has a level of significance of p\u003C0.05. Result: In this paper, 29 dental auxiliaries and 241 CHWs have participated in the surveys. The assignments that take place on the community context, such as home visits were more associated to the CHWs (p\u003C0.05) . On the other hand, the activities that happen on a clinical environment, such as providing assistance to graduated health professionals and performing clinical procedures, are more commonly performed by the dental assistant (p\u003C0.05) .  \nBoth categories presented similarities performing preventive health care, teamwork analysis, informative initiativesand community mobilization routines (p>0.05) .

The dental auxiliaries, despite being mostly issued to specific assignments on a clinical environment, are able to shift their praxis by taking actions on a family and community context once integrated toa family health team.  \nDescriptors: Allied health personnel; dental auxiliaries; comm","cbCaiiaCJBuv5gU1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiaCJBuv5gU1","pdf",197720,3,1,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Family Health Strategy context\n# Objective and methodology\n## Study design and data collection\n# Results\n## Community-context assignments\n## Clinical-environment activities\n## Shared practices\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main objective?\",\"answer\":\"To analyze the duties of dental auxiliaries and community health workers regarding service use and training, identifying similarities and contrasts in Family Health Strategy roles.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"A quantitative census study was carried out under the PET-Saúde program (2010–2012) using a semi-structured questionnaire, with significance assessed at p\\u003c0.05.\"},{\"question\":\"What key differences and similarities were found between the two professional categories?\",\"answer\":\"CHWs were more linked to community-context tasks such as identifying family risk and conducting home visits, while dental auxiliaries more commonly performed clinical-environment activities.
