Abstract

Public health policies are guidelines designed by governments to solve problems associated with the health of populations. Implementation is one of its phases where actions and activities are deployed to achieve the proposed objectives. It involves a variety of actors in different environments, which creates a series of difficulties for its realization. Because of this, public policy analysts use models to examine and identify such conflicts and propose strategies for their solution. The objective of this article is to examine the models that have been used for the analysis of the implementation of public policies in health, reported in scientific publications in the period of 2015 - 2020. For the articles search, MeSH terms were used in PubMed, Science Direct, and Scielo databases published in the study period. The policies concerning health care were the most studied, and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the Logic Model were the most used models and were presented in the same proportion, although more frequently it is not stated which model is used to perform the implementation analyses.
