Mejorar la salud, una cuestión ciudadana

This paper deals with the main resources of health improvement in a community from a suburban area in Zaragoza, Spain. The sample is a probabilistic form made in different points: areas, streets and houses. The local hospital wanted to know the real health situation of its population, so it designed some questions in a global health survey. We asked the people how their health could be improved. In order to systematize the answers, it was used a mixture of qualitative and quantitative research strategies. The most frequent answer was related to lifestyle (sport, tobacco, coffee, personal cares). It is presented a discussion on the results and the importance of prevention and community participation on the Primary Attention Health System
