Objective
- To identify specific key urban factors affecting health, within their environmental, epidemiological and social context with the aim of improving the design of operational strategies for the management of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other chronic diseases within the existing health system.
Expected Outcome
- From the mapping exercise, multilayer maps will be prepared describing in detail the health care systems of the Tlemcem and Safi;
- The action research will provide an insight into the applicability of certain novel health care models under the conditions found in the two cities;
- The anthropological surveys will provide insights into population's decision making processes and hence will improve the understanding of the reasons for success or failure of certain health care strategies.
Multidisciplinary research will be done in two cities : Tlemcem (Algeria) and Safi (Morocco)
- Geographical epidemiology will map zones and risk populations with the aim of identifying risks' factors in relation to the available health care systems and other spatial and social structures. The relation between environmental factors and health are to be identified against the background of the existing health care system;
- Action research (epidemiological and public health approach) will be aimed at optimising the capacity of the health care structures to cope with chronic diseases through the testing of certain science based approaches in a real-life setting;
- Qualitative anthropological surveys of the socio-cultural status of disease and the specifically mobilised family resources and therapeutic strategies will be completed.
