In 2011, the WHO announced the creation of the Model Disability Survey (MDS), this instrument being based on the biopsychosocial model of health and an important predictor of health. Objective: To describe and analyze the population profile through the Brief Model Disability Survey (MDS) in Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Norte. Methods: This is a descriptive pilot study, carried out through a population survey. The study was approved by the FACISA Institutional Research Ethics Committee under number 4,102,958. Participants over the age of 18 of both sexes, with or without disabilities, were considered eligible. Those who refused to answer all the questions in the questionnaire, those with apparent cognitive disability, as well as those who dropped out were excluded. A questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics and the Brief MDS (40 questions) were used. The sample distribution was presented using absolute and relative frequencies and the descriptive analysis was carried out using measures of central tendency and dispersion. Results: 504 interviews were qualified, observing a predominance of an adult audience, the majority being women (n=385). The most prevalent self-reported health conditions were systemic arterial hypertension (35.3%) and anxiety (24.4%). The environmental factors indicated as facilitators were mainly related to places frequented, residence and social support. The report of body pain was prevalent (26.6%) in the studied population, and is also an important support for the development of actions aimed at promoting health and preventing injuries. With regard to personal assistance, this role seems to be represented mainly by a female figure with family ties, involving social and economic issues that affect the quality of life of these individuals. Regarding assistive devices, only 3.6% of participants reported using some technology, with the cane, therapeutic shoes and wheelchair being the most mentioned.Acesso AbertoClassificação internacional de funcionalidade, incapacidade e saúdeInquéritos populacionaisPolíticas públicas de saúdemasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA
