Introduction:

Red Unidos is the Colombian policy aimed to reduce extreme poverty. Promote the access of households in extreme poverty to health, education and to improve its habitability, nutrition, income and work. Access to services, such as those promoted can change the performance of social and health indicators.

Objective:

To assess the performance of social and health indicators since Red Unidos implementation in Bogotá 2002-2017.

Materials and methods:

Longitudinal study with retrospective information was carry out. Health and social indicators from Bogota between 2002 - 2017 were collected. Interrupted Time Series were used to analyze the change of trend and level of social and health indicators since Red Unidos implementation.

Results:

Health indicators show significative reductions, but no chronic malnutrition prevalence. Maternal mortality ratio and global prevalence of malnutrition showed significant changes of level, but no trend. Similarly, social indicators showed significant reductions for each year of observation, but no overall participation rate. The level changes of this indicators were not persistent over time.

Conclusions:

Changes in the post-intervention performance of the indicators were not held. However, its increase or reduction depend on other circumstances that affect their performance but not exclusively result since Red Unidos implementation in Bogotá.

Keywords : Public policy; poverty; health status indicators; social conditions; interrupted time series analysis.
