我们描述了两个相关的本科项目，以促进持久的社会变革，在多米尼加共和国和尼加拉瓜的边缘化社区的努力。这些项目代表了一个前提，即本科项目可以从事学术为基础的战略和超越良好的意图，以实现有效的社区伙伴关系，以改善健康和医疗保健的测试。这些项目从边缘化及其后果的角度和理论出发。具体而言，边缘化破坏了个人和集体满足基本需求的能力和实现繁荣的努力。通过加强社会基础设施，社区可以克服边缘化的影响。项目工作从年度医疗诊所开始，在社区居民的许可下，小组成员对社区及其健康和保健问题和资源进行人种学描述。我们使用社会网络分析（SNA）和地理信息系统（GIS）技术来描述社会基础设施。在这些基础上，这两个项目都增加了社会基础设施。迄今为止，我们注意到社区居民之间的沟通有所增加，促进了社区认可的五年计划的制定，并与区域和国际团体建立了伙伴关系。
We describe the efforts of two related undergraduate projects to promote lasting social change in marginalized communities in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The projects represent a test of the premise that undergraduate projects can engage academically based strategies and transcend good intentions to achieve effective community partnerships to improve health and health care. The projects proceed from a perspective and theory of marginalization and its consequences. Specifically, marginalization undermines individual and collective capacity to meet basic needs and efforts to thrive. Through strengthening social infrastructure, communities can overcome the effects of marginalization. Project work begins with annual medical clinics and, with the permission of community residents, team members conduct ethnographic descriptions of the communities and their health and health care concerns and resources. We use social network analysis (SNA) and geographic information system (GIS) techniques to describe social infrastructure. Working from those foundations, both projects have enabled increased social infrastructure. To date, we have observed increased communication among community residents, facilitated the development of community-endorsed five-year plans, and established partnerships with regional and international groups.
