Aim. to describe the characteristics and operation of the different groups of community participation that exist in the 16 health centers located in the city of Pachuca, during January-December 2015.
Material and Methods. 61 surveys were applied to member of different health committees and 125 surveys were applied to member of self-help groups.
Results: over 90% committee´s members are women; schooling was 41% high school. 88% of the committee´s members reported that health personnel decide when and how to meet them.47% members of self-help groups reported that operation depend on health personnel.
Conclusions: only if the community is involved in decision making, there is community participation. This is a way to increase the power of communities (empowerment) where democratic decision making is strengthened; this inspires pride and facilitates a genuine participation in the development process. Otherwise the results in community participation will not be entirely positive.
