In this subject we will address the issue of health in childhood, adolescence and women during
pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. We start from the state of health of the Catalan population which reflects, to a certain extent,
much of the changes (sociodemographic, epidemiological, technological, etc.) that have occurred in our society.
Some with the arrival of immigrant population in a short period of time, have changed the structure by age and
population sex and fertility trends. There are, however, important areas for improvement, especially those in which we have not made progress, such as the activity

After that in the last case seminar, they will perform the group self-assessment.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Assessment
The evaluation system is organized in 3 modules each of which will have a specific weight in the qualification

they contemplate four dimensions: responsibility, learning skills, communication, and work in
group.
Delivery of self-assessment reports / written work (10%)
Two days after the end of each situation, each group must submit, by mail, a maximum report

plagiarism in any of the exercises would mean the suspension of the subject with no option to recover.
Oral defense of works (40%) at the end of the work of situations.

Bibliography
Given that one of the general competencies that the student is intended to acquire is to develop
strategies for autonomous learning (CG2) the bibliography is not specified.
In solving problems the student must become competent in the search for information and critical reading of it. In the
first session students, depending on the work plan proposed, find out what the information funds are
suitable for your work plan,
they confront findings and evidence. Depending on this shared work they reason the suitability or not, of the
same.
These are the fundamental reasons why it is not considered appropriate for teachers to present one
specific bibliography list.
Software
No specific software is required
