Hurtado, HillThroughout South America, indigenous communities are less economically prosperous and more vulnerable to infectious diseases than are neighboring rural peasant non-indigenous communities. Little is known about the extent to which economic prosperity is affected by the health status of adults in diverse rural communities. This project will study the relationship between health and economic productivity. In association with a public health project funded by NIH, the NSF project will do preliminary work to prepare for a major project to test hypotheses derived from a causal path model with adult health status as the predictor variable, economic productivity and various aspects of economic decision making as intermediate variables, and the well-being of household members as the outcome variable; examine and control for the effects of ethnicity on causal variables in the model; determine to what extent variation in health status across communities accounts for differences in economic prosperity in the communities in the Mbaracayu Reserve in eastern Paraguay.

在整个南美洲，与邻近的农村农民非土著社区相比，土著社区的经济不那么繁荣，更容易感染传染病。人们对经济繁荣在多大程度上受到不同农村社区成年人的健康状况的影响知之甚少。这个项目将研究健康和经济生产率之间的关系。与美国国立卫生研究院资助的一个公共卫生项目相结合，国家科学基金会项目将为一个大项目做准备，以检验因果路径模型得出的假设，该模型以成年人的健康状况为预测变量，经济生产力和经济决策的各个方面为中间变量，家庭成员的福祉为结果变量；检查和控制模型中族裔对因果变量的影响；确定不同社区健康状况的差异在多大程度上解释巴拉圭东部Mbaracayu保护区社区经济繁荣的差异。
