This article analyzes the social participation in the district health councils (cds) of the city of joão pessoa-pb, highlighting its difficulties and potentialities. It was the result of an investigation with a qualitative approach, whose operation took place in two stages, respectively: individual interviews and participant observation. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, organized in a script and applied with the general directors and / or technicians / professionals of the Health Districts (DS). Monthly meetings of these councils were held, by systematizing the look of the researcher via field diary. The perspective of analysis developed during this research consisted of dialectic. The results show that the main obstacle, in the view of the members of the DS, is the participation of users in the meetings. Many of the movements and entities with potential participation are not present in this space because they do not believe that such participation is capable of generating change.
