The target group consisted of 798 people (553 workers and 245 students). The research was developed in three stages: socialization of the problem, organization of the training and implementation of training actions, active survey.
Results: training was given by 23 professionals. The training of 96,8 % of the personnel to be trained was achieved. The lowest training percentages were achieved among vector personnel (86.3%) and medical interns (93,3 %). Of those trained, 1,8 % did not receive the session on biosafety. Of the healthcare personnel trained, 94,1 % were involved in the active survey. A total of 96,2 % of the population was screened, 74 suspected cases were detected (0,40 %) and only 2 patients were confirmed (0,01 %).
Conclusions: the training allowed adequate results, with a high number of people trained and incorporated to the active survey, which was evidenced in the high levels of screened population and low numbers of suspects and positives.
