In all, fieldwork covered fifty-eight towns and villages in the Spanish provinces of Álava, Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa and Navarra, and the areas of Bas-Navarre, Lapurdi and Zuberoa on the northern side of the Pyrenees. The main criterion governing the choice of places to be surveyed was the regional diversity of the target territory and the kind of zones (rural, urban and coastal) to be found there. The ethnographical survey comes from the ''Guide for an ethnographical survey ''(Chap. 2. Domestic Group Customs) published by Barandiaran in 1974 and corresponds specifically to the questions referring to ''Illness and Medicine'' (questions 46 to 170).
La estructura de la obra se corresponde con el estudio de las enfermedades del cuerpo humano comenzando por la cabeza, continuando con la piel, los órganos internos y las extremidades. Consideración aparte tienen los trastornos o anomalías que presenta el ciclo reproductivo, las enfermedades infantiles y la medicina creencial.
