This thesis examines the types of health care choices rural people
in Chiapas Soconusco region make within their cultural belief
system and available resources. The utilization of health care
services depends on many variables: personal beliefs, cultural
traditions, availability and access to services, and the financial
means to pay for them. The population in this study identifies
itself as campensenos, or small-scale farmers, and struggle for
survival among large agricultural businesses. By examining the
existing health infrastructure in Chiapas, Mexico, and the
traditional medicinal practices that have established themselves in
this region over time, this study questions the health care choices
people are able to make based on inconsistent availability of
medical resources. While this study is based on a very small sample
of people, it shows a need for further research in this
understudied coastal region of Chiapas.
