摘要

This research sought to test the hypothesis that sociocultural factors, specifically behavioral patterns and belief systems, play a major role in the occurrence and management of gastrointestinal infections of infants and children of northeastern Brazil. Qualitative and quantitative methods from medical anthropology, epidemiology and microbiologic research techniques, were used to explore the relationships between human behavior patterns and belief systems and childhood diarrhea. The study population consisted of a random sample of 50 households, three neighborhoods of affluent professionals, migrant wage laborers, and poor farmers. Comparative analyses were made of the traditional healing practices performed by village healers and modern, western influenced medical management of childhood diarrhea disease treatment.
