| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/9326 The social epidemiology of tuberculosis in South Africa : a multilevel analysis Harling, Guy Ehrlich, Rodney Myer, Landon Public Health Includes bibliographical references (leaves 95-105). Tuberculosis has long been considered a disease of poverty but there has been little research into the pathways through which low socio-economic status leads to increased risk of disease. This study reviews the existing literature on risk factors for tuberculosis disease with a particular focus on those variables that reflect the social setting in which an individual lives. It then conducts a multilevel analysis of South African data from the 1998 South African Demographic and Health Survey and the 1996 national census to evaluate individual-, household -and community-level risk factors for tuberculosis disease using a hierarchical regression model. 2014-11-07T13:49:08Z 2014-11-07T13:49:08Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9326 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
