- Mestizas (members of the nonindigenous population) are commonly referred to in Chiapas as Ladinas.
- Utilising the same interview guide, a male interviewer conducted interviews with ten men in the same region. However, it became clear that a study designed especially for men would be necessary to adequately explore reproductive health from the men’s perspective. Therefore, the data presented in this article are limited to our experience with women only.
- Piloting of the study within indigenous communities proved our instruments to be inappropriate, not only due to the difficulty of translating into Tojolabal and Tzeltal (the two Mayan languages spoken in the region), but also because the Mayan cosmovision provides very different models of health and well-being than that of the Ladino population. A study specific to this Mayan population began in July 1995.
- The presence of others during the interview did not seem to inhibit discussion of violence, as seven of the 14 women interviewed in the presence of non-infant children and/or adults mentioned physical and sexual violence spontaneously; 11 of the 14 responded to the interview questions on violence; and two discussed their own personal experiences as victims of such violence.
