Produktbeschreibung

Though development does not always bring improvement in health status in same degrees, it is essential for the attainment and maintenance of minimum level of health standards. It is also a subject of study to find out how the health and health care behaviour act in the tribal societies with low level of development. There have been studies on it in India but are mostly confined to the narrative approaches. This book attempts to find out the relationship between the levels of socio- economic development and health condition among the Scheduled Tribes of Chotanagpur through empirical methods with an inquiry into Socio-Economic Development, Morbidity, Health Care, Nutrition and locational impact on health and health care behaviour. It also examines the presumption about the tribes that they do not use the modern medicine and also the associations of the development indicators. Finally, it tries to find out alternatives for the better health conditions of the tribes. The book is veryuseful for researchers, academicians, policy makers, administrators, health professionals and NGOs working in the area of tribal health.
