An account is given of several studies carried out by the author and his colleagues in Lebanon. An investigation of failure to thrive in young children revealed that in an apparently homogenous low socioeconomic group there was a wide spectrum of physical growth which correlated closely with a number of home environment variables. Another study of the mental development of some of these children carried out over several years showed that children with even mild growth failure had a statistically significant impairment of mental development as compared with their apparently healthy siblings, also living in a home environment characterized by deprivation. The far reaching consequences are emphasized. In a third study which investigated the formal education of mothers, their nutritional knowledge and practices and the growth of their children, the indices were found to be interrelated to some extent. Finally, a small study gave some indication, perhaps contrary to general belief, that the rapid social change undergone by families who migrate from the country to an urban slum may be associated with an improvement in nutrition of the children.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79937,"journal":{"name":"Health policy and education","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 91-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0165-2281(82)90026-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21127582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An examination of the different kinds of education available to Third Worlders shows that formal schooling is generally regarded as a passport to urban employment. It therefore accentuates socioeconomic differentiation. Altogether, education for the sake of increased knowledge and/or improved welfare is a luxury only the wealthier can afford. Moreover, an examination of the culture-specificity of health concepts is taken to show how Western health care is inappropriate in settings where health is seen as an indicator of morality. Numerous case materials are used as evidence for the argument presented here. The final section of the paper devoted to “policy implications” emphasises that low levels of education and health are symbolic of under-development. Formal education or Western type health care are no panacea, nor even palliatives for the poverty syndrome. Appropriate education associated with appropriate health measures may help to alleviate the worst evils of disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79937,"journal":{"name":"Health policy and education","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 71-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0165-2281(82)90025-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21127581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rural/urban differentials are of small importance once parental education has been controlled.
