SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: Since the 1970s, Popular Health Education has been recognized as a powerful theoretical and methodological framework for the development and structuring of Health Promotion experiences within Primary Health Care in Brazil. Among the different approaches grounded in Popular Health Education, the “Calçada Amiga” stands out as a successful practice, previously described in projects carried out in Northeastern Brazil, aimed at developing dialogical and collaborative activities together with the community in order to address local challenges within a given territory. Despite its recognized potential, this strategy remains underutilized within health services. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an educational booklet on the implementation of the “Calçada Amiga” strategy in Primary Health Care. METHODOLOGY: This is a methodological study grounded in Pasquali’s psychometric framework, developed in three stages: theoretical procedures, focused on defining and organizing the booklet’s content; empirical procedures, which involved content and appearance validation by expert judges; and analytical procedures, in which the Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated to assess agreement among evaluators across the theoretical, semantic, operational, and aesthetic dimensions. RESULTS: The booklet was evaluated by 11 expert judges and demonstrated high levels of agreement, with an overall Content Validity Index of 99%, indicating excellent validity. The results showed that the booklet is conceptually consistent, written in clear and accessible language, operationally applicable within the context of Primary Health Care, and aesthetically appropriate for the target audience. CONCLUSION: The validated booklet constitutes a light-hard educational technology with the potential to support and strengthen Popular Health Education practices in Primary Health Care, contributing to the dissemination of the “Calçada Amiga” strategy and to the strengthening of bonds between health teams and the Community.
