自20世纪70年代以来，低收入国家的援助组织一直在推动社区动物健康服务，以改善动物的健康。它们还被认为能直接改善其所有者的财富、健康或生计。我们系统地搜索了低收入国家社区动物卫生工作者提供的基本预防和治疗性动物卫生服务的观察性研究。其目的是总结现有的研究对家庭财富和健康指标的影响CAHS。根据预先确定的合格性标准、所检查研究的方法学质量和提取的数据，对纳入研究进行独立评估。14项不同方法学质量的研究符合纳入标准。4项研究的结果尚不清楚，其余研究的结果很难总结，因为它们报告了不同的结局。然而，研究报告称，CAHS在改善人类健康和财富以及动物健康和生产力方面具有相当大的潜力。考虑到在这一领域投入的资金和时间，这些观察结果需要在一个设计良好的研究中使用标准的务实结果。
Community animal health services (CAHS) have been promoted since the 1970s by aid organizations in low-income countries to improve the health of animals. they are also thought to improve directly the wealth and health or livelihood of their owners. We have systematically searched for observational studies of basic preventive and curative animal health services provided by a community animal health worker in communities in low-income countries. The objective was to summarize the available research on the effects of CAHS on indicators for household wealth and health. Studies for inclusion were assessed independently according to predefined eligibility criteria, the methodological quality of the studies examined, and data extracted. Fourteen studies of varying methodological quality met the inclusion criteria. The results were unclear in four studies, and in the remaining studies it was difficult to summarize the results because they reported different outcomes. However, the studies report that CAHS has a considerable potential for improving human health and wealth as well as animal health and productivity. Given the amount of money and time invested in this area, these observations need to be conformed in the context of a well-designed study using standard pragmatic outcomes.
