NUNES, Everardo Duarte. Collective health paradigms: a brief reflection. Salud colect. [online]. 2014, vol.10, n.1, pp.57-65. ISSN 1851-8265.

The article discusses the possibility of applying Kuhn's concept of paradigm to collective health. The concept and its use in epidemiology, planning and the social sciences are reviewed briefly. The study stresses the multi-paradigmatic character of collective health, resulting from the convergence of multiple epistemologies and the involvement of diverse fields such as the biological sciences, philosophy, the social sciences and humanities.
