Description
Summary:The Research Network on Preventive Activities and Health Promotion (redIAPP), a reference network and promoter of primary care research was created in 2003 thanks to the program Thematic Networks for Cooperative Research in Health (RETICS) of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII). Its creation has meant a radical change in the situation of research in primary care. Throughout its 19 years (2003-2021), different research groups and autonomous communities have participated, and different lines of research have been developed with numerous projects and publications. Despite the difficulties suffered, it has created a collaborative research experience between different autonomous communities with great vitality and with important results for primary care. The redIAPP, therefore, has been a great reference for research in primary care and for the deepening of its area of knowledge. Several lines of improvement are suggested for the future of primary care research.& COPY; 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
