Research
The Social Determinants and Health Education Research Group (SDHEd) contributes to the Knowledge and Quality of Life challenge and, secondarily, to promoting an inclusive and feminist society supported by universal, high-quality public services.
Its overall aim is to improve population wellbeing throughout the life course. To achieve this, the group promotes the transition from a curative healthcare model to a preventive approach. It does so by generating, transferring, and applying scientific knowledge from the preconception stage through adulthood, using education as a key tool to foster changes in health-related behaviours.
SDHEd addresses complex health and social realities through multidisciplinary and international collaboration. Its work integrates nursing, public health, social sciences, and health economics, and develops coordinated strategies aimed at influencing citizens, institutions, and decision-makers. The group also contributes to the development of clinical protocols, strategic documents, and educational transformation processes, while incorporating equity, gender, and citizen participation perspectives across all its projects.
Through competitive projects, interdisciplinary collaboration, and support for early-career researchers, SDHEd consolidates a strategic, impact-oriented research agenda committed to social responsibility and the sustainability of health systems.
