摘要：This study explored the collective mental representations and concepts on health in a group of students within an age range of 10 to 16 in a public institution in Barranquilla. In order to do this, a questionnaire was made with the aim of obtaining information about the nature and causes of health, as well as other related concepts, therefore providing a kind of insight on the concept of health. In general, it was observed that students referred to health with a great number of concepts. However, they perceive health in an individual manner and with little regard for the environment, so these collective representations indicate that students do not have sufficient enough elements or awareness to have a global vision of health.
