Case Studies and Lessons Learned

Below are links, to selected full-text versions of USAID-sponsored publications on urban health. Most publications were generated as part of USAID's Environmental Health Program (EHP) that ran from 1994-2004. EHP focused on activities supporting Agency child health and malaria objectives. This page will continue to be updated with links to new reports and studies on urban health issues.

  • PHRplus, 2006. Urban health and care-seeking behavior: a case study of slums in India and the Philippines
    This report examines the health needs and care-seeking behavior of poor slum residents in two Asian cities--Indore, India and greater Manila, Philippines. The centerpiece of the study is a qualitative investigation set in four slums in Indore and two slums in greater Manila, where in-depth interviews of slum residents and health care providers were carried out. The topics covered in the research include general health-seeking behavior and self-efficacy, family planning, maternal health, child health, tuberculosis, domestic violence and alcohol abuse, and environmental health and hygiene.
