The main research lines in this field are as follows:

Well-being and Quality of Life:  this includes research on quality of life in childhood and adolescence, promoting adequate parental competence, the quality of life of those who look after the chronically ill, and quality of life in relation to ethical aspects like personal independence in the context of health care. These last two aspects are also analysed from the point of view of gender.                                                                                                                                

Health promotion by means of programmes and interventions in health education as much in the community as in the hospital. These programmes are directed equally between the general population and specific groups with health problems, in addition to being a strategy for the improvement of the health services.

Health attention. This includes lines of research on the use of health services.
