Epidemology Public Health and Primary Care Area

Research in this area involves the study of population health and its social, political, and environmental determinants with special attention to inequalities and their consequences. It evaluates the effectiveness and health impact of public interventions and policies, as well as the promotion of evidence- based practical medicine to make health intervention more effective, appropriate, and safe. Also important is the development and evaluation of methods or strategies to improve the generation, evaluation, communication and transfer of scientific evidence. This area finally studies the epidemiology of communicable diseases in the population of Barcelona, with special attention to the impact of the prevention and control strategies developed. The aim of this area is therefore to achieve wellness in public health through improving policies and medical management.
