%X this paper explores the interface between public health and social sciences in alberto guerreiro ramos' thought (1940-1950), in the light of his intellectual trajectory and the history of social sciences in brazil. it shows how health itself was a key-element for guerreiro ramos's interpretation about nation and the role of social sciences in the process of modernization. starting his career in brazilian government agencies, guerreiro's first writings on well-child care and health were inspired by north-american sociological approaches, mainly derived from the so-called "chicago school of sociology". in the 1950s, guerreiro ramos accounted for health problems such as infant mortality in terms of "underdeveloped" social-economic structures and criticized brazilian health programs he somehow considered detached from the country's main goal of industrialization.
