The group of participants was chosen based on the following people: people who live in a small city, over 30 years old, who lived in other regions of the country, other than the Northeast, for at least 1 year. In all, 9 interviews were carried out, and the group of participants is composed of 5 and 4 women, aged between 35 and 68 years. Data were analyzed inductively, based on Grounded Theory. Thus, the initial statements were initially carried out, according to the purpose of the study, and later, the initial classification and specialized data were carried out.
