Abstract

The importance which our society places on health has been clearly shown. The surveys from diverse competent organizations, as well as multiple social research projects have positioned the health topic as a major priority among the population's interests in Spain and this interest has been reflected in the mass media. In this paper, we analyze the main investigations and studies carried out by international authorities–WHO- as well as national organizations–Scientific Communication Observatory, Vilá Casas Foundation, Communication Institute (InCom-UAB), International Institute of Communication and Health (INICyS), Communication and Health Seminar of the University of Navarra and the Work Teams on Communication and Health of the Spanish Society for Family and Community Medicine (SEMFyC)–.   Finally, we take a review around the principal studies carried out by different researchers
