title: [Community activities in primary care in Spain. An analysis based on the network of the Program of Community Activities (PACAP)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe, analyse and discuss the activities in the Network of Community Activities of the Programme of Community Activities in Primary Care of the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine.
  
  
  METHODS
  Description of the activities within this Network.Setting. Network of Community Activities of the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine.
  
  
  METHODS
  Specifications of the variables of geography, target population and experience descriptives were obtained from the qualitative analysis of the activity summary composed by its authors. The measurements are frequency tables expressed in graphs and analysis of the summaries contributed by the groups on objectives, kinds of programme, methodologies, evaluation and conclusions reached. The community orientation activities undertaken by the health centres registered on the Network came mostly (54%) from the autonomous communities of Madrid and Andalusia. A great many of them were aimed at the adult population, tackling problems of chronic diseases, and particularly at women, in this case tackling gender themes such as menopause and pregnancy, etc.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was uneven distribution between autonomous communities of the experiences included on the web. Central to community orientation are the replies to questions such as: inside or out of the health centre?, the importance of transferring leadership to society, and adaptation to the needs and demands of the population cared for.
