Identification and assessment of health assets in the territory and their use to improve community health

Research Topic
Abstract

This research internship proposal is framed in the ongoing research of the Interreg Sudoe project SAM, 'Intelligent Digital Twin for the social prescription in primary healthcare'. The focus of the internship is the analysis of the territory as a provider of health assets for the community. The host research group is developing digital twins for eight territories in the Interreg Sudoe area (Spain, Portugal and France) and will evaluate social prescription using quantitative and qualitative methods over the next few years (until 2028). The internship is open to individuals with knowledge and experience in areas such as territory, green spaces, social and economic analysis, statistics, fieldwork, and social participation.

Intership proposal could be adaptable depending on the work plan stage of the SAM project and the visitant profile.
