LOPEZ-RIOS, Jennifer Marcela; MOLINA-BERRIO, Diana Patricia  e  PENARANDA-CORREA, Fernando. Visibility and Theoretical Trends in the Education for Health in Four Latin-American Countries, 2003-2013. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.35, pp.1-12. ISSN 1657-7027.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.rgps17-35.vtte.

Objective: To analyze the researches conducted in Latin America on education for health during the last ten years, identifying the different conceptual developments proposed about this theme and the criticism made about it. Methods: This is a qualitative research describing the state of the art; forty articles from Brazil, Colombia, Cuba and Mexico, and retrieved from searches in Pubmed, Lilacs, Redalyc, Scielo, Ovid, Science Direct, Oxford Journals, and Dialnet were examined. Results: the education for health is a multifocal and polysemic field with different purposes and theoretical trends. It was found that most of the authors cared for assuming a stance regarding this field, though few of them undertake the task to conceptualize both education and health. Conclusion: Different visions about education for health were perceived; however, this work criticizes the poor articulation observed in the papers between theory and practice on this regard.
