In this article, the present paradigms in Public Health are characterized, centring on the Community Health paradigm. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that being this an outline of conceptions and practice that have recently emerged, it is necessary for it to be a process of joint work with the community so that both components, professional team and community, think and behave according to this paradigm to develop processes of positive health management validating its effectiveness and efficiency as its spreading is increased. Consequently, the main components of positive health management are made explicit to conclude with an integral but brief development of the topic of social determinants of health taking into account the big problem of public disease.

Palabras clave : Community health; Positive health management; Social determinants.
