Given the importance of EPS, it is appropriate for us to provide this moment of reflection around a topic that is so relevant and so lacking in studies that are dedicated to evaluating the impacts of actions at a regional and national level. Aiming to contribute to this gap, without, however, having the intention of covering all the phenomena involved in this vast topic, we simply aim to rescue some points that we consider important in permanent health education in order to be able to visualize with a certain tranquility and clarity the actions of permanent health education that took place in the 2018-2022 four-year period in the municipalities of Alagoas. This study concluded that several important steps in carrying out the training were not carried out as they should have been, and there was also dissatisfaction with the action evaluation models and methodologies used in the training.
