In collaboration with the Centre Regional de Medecine Traditionnelle in Bandiagara Mali, this project investigates how migration for work and other socio-environmental factors affect psychological functioning, mental and physical health as well as the nature of AIDS-related attitudes and behaviors, in the Dogon (primarily farmers), Fulani (primarily herders) and Bozo (primarily fishermen) ethnic groups. It involves an interview of a representative sample of 1002 rural Malians. Besides questions dealing with AIDS, the interview examines the social and environmental conditions of the respondents and their socio- cultural attitudes. It also measures psychological functioning and includes a screen for schizophrenia and depressive illnesses. This year the plans for the full implementation of the study were collaboratively developed, necessary IRB clearances obtained and pretests carried out.

该项目与马里班迪亚加拉地区传统医学中心合作，调查工作移民和其他社会环境因素如何影响多贡族（主要是农民）、富拉尼族（主要是牧民）和博佐族（主要是渔民）的心理功能、身心健康以及与艾滋病有关的态度和行为的性质。它涉及对1002名农村马里人的代表性样本的采访。除了有关艾滋病的问题外，访谈还考察了受访者的社会和环境状况以及他们的社会文化态度。它还测量心理功能，包括精神分裂症和抑郁症的筛查。今年，双方合作制定了全面实施研究的计划，获得了必要的IRB许可，并进行了预试。
