This project on Health Education is directed to chronic diseases and it is extremely accurate, since these pathologies represent, nowadays, one of the leading causes of mortality. The central goals of this research are:
a) To educate health caregivers (formal, non-formal and informal) on chronic patients and diseases;
b) To promote health education for children, youth and adults in the context of Lifelong Learning.
We used qualitative methods, using for data collection 18 questionnaires related to chronic diseases. The study sample was deliberate, and consists of about 700 students from various undergraduate and masters of a University of North Portugal We think that the knowledge produced in developing this research is doubly important. Firstly, because it is a truly unprecedented one, which may contribute to increase the overall knowledge of some chronic diseases. And secondly, because we think that with this work, we contribute to the improvement of the training of children, young people and adults involved in the project and thereby enhance them in the near future, improving the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases.
