La salut a través dels mitjans: propaganda sanitària institucional en l'Espanya dels anys vint i trenta del segle XX

Abstract

Health and the Mass Media: Institutional sanitary propaganda in Spain in the 1920s and 30s.

During the nineteen-twenties and thirties the Spanish sanitary authorities put numerous propagandistic campaigns into motion via placards, radio and cinema, directed at changing

the public’s behaviour in questions related to health. The objective was to create a new sanitary culture that would assist the mass surveillance campaigns that were characteristic of public-health policy in that epoch.
