Within the research group, three main lines of research are presented, analyzed from a “Cognitive-Behavioral” approach based on the biopsychosocial model. They are listed as follows:

1. Chronic diseases: This line of research focuses on analyzing the understanding and evaluation of interactions between health and biopsychosocial factors that influence it. It involves the application of psychology as a scientific discipline and the recognition of the impact that diseases (such as hemophilia, childhood asthma, hypertension, diabetes) have on those who experience them and their families. Finally, it includes the development of assessment and intervention methods and techniques for patients and affected family members.
2. Health psychology in preventive public health strategies (PREVENIMSS): This line has two general objectives: Improve the quality of life of patients in all age groups of the PREVENIMSS strategy. And Develop assessment, intervention, and follow-up strategies to optimize the results of the strategies.
3. Comprehensive health in youth: This line is developed with the aim of assessing and intervening in various psychosocial issues that may put the health and integrity of young people and young adults at risk (such as dating violence, academic burnout).

This group also addresses lines of communitary work on Chronicle diseases, Conductual Medicine, Nutritional Education among others.
