我们对拉丁美洲和加勒比国家关于健康不平等的研究进行了文献计量和内容分析。在我们的文献计量学分析（n=576），我们使用的索引材料发表在1971年和2000年之间。内容分析（n=269）涵盖了1971年至1995年期间，包括未发表的材料。我们发现，最近的快速增长，总产量。巴西、智利和墨西哥贡献了大多数实证研究，而厄瓜多尔和阿根廷产生了更多的概念性研究，我们发现，在文献回顾中，相对忽视性别，种族和民族问题。然而，我们还发现研究设计具有显着的多样性，并且沿着其他研究传统中缺乏的对生态和民族志方法的强烈考虑。
We conducted a bibliometric and content analysis of research on health inequalities produced in Latin American and Caribbean countries. In our bibliometric analysis (n=576), we used indexed material published between 1971 and 2000. The content analysis (n=269) covered the period 1971 to 1995 and included unpublished material.We found recent rapid growth in overall output. Brazil, Chile, and Mexico contributed mostly empirical research, while Ecuador and Argentina produced more conceptual studies.We found, in the literature reviewed, a relative neglect of gender, race, and ethnicity issues. We also found remarkable diversity in research designs, however, along with strong consideration of ecological and ethnographic methods absent in other research traditions.
