The urban poor experience more, and more variable, child mortality than richer compatriots. Although there are many contributing factors including material poverty, insanitary housing, inaccessible health services, and parental ignorance of good childcare, these do not explain the full extent of the inequities. A key factor is the interest and ability of poor households to use their resources, and those of the health services to protect their children's health. This project will use an anthropological-demographic approach in Dhaka and Jakarta to investigate the cultural, social and institutional factors influencing health beliefs and hence treatment decisions at the household level.

城市贫民的儿童死亡率比富裕的同胞高，变化也更大。虽然有许多促成因素，包括物质贫困、不卫生的住房、无法获得保健服务以及父母对良好儿童保育的无知，但这些都不能解释不平等的全部程度。一个关键因素是贫困家庭利用其资源的兴趣和能力，以及利用保健服务保护其子女健康的兴趣和能力。该项目将在达卡和雅加达采用人类学-人口学方法，调查影响健康信念的文化、社会和体制因素，从而影响家庭一级的治疗决定。
