title: Social determinants of health, inequality and social inclusion among people with disabilities.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to analyze the socio-familial and community inclusion and social participation of people with disabilities, as well as their inclusion in occupations in daily life.
  
  
  METHODS
  qualitative study with data collected through open interviews concerning the participants' life histories and systematic observation. The sample was composed of ten individuals with acquired or congenital disabilities living in the region covered by a Family Health Center. The social conception of disability was the theoretical framework used. Data were analyzed according to an interpretative reconstructive approach based on Habermas' Theory of Communicative Action.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the results show that the socio-familial and community inclusion of the study participants is conditioned to the social determinants of health and present high levels of social inequality expressed by difficult access to PHC and rehabilitation services, work and income, education, culture, transportation and social participation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  there is a need to develop community-centered care programs in cooperation with PHC services aiming to cope with poverty and improve social inclusion.
