Summary
Tore Godal and Ane Haaland, ‘Beyond the Health Sector: New Directions in Tropical Disease Field Research’, Forum for Development Studies, No. 1, 1993, pp. 21–28.
Cost-effective solutions to tropical disease control need to start from an understanding of people's behaviour and beliefs related to the disease. The new focus in Tropical Disease Research emphasizes the household, seeks knowledge to bridge the gap between traditional and modern medicine, and aims to encourage and assist Third World researchers to develop better skills in social and economic research.
