Brief Summary:
This project is a collaboration between the Centre Regional de Medecine Traditionnelle CRMT of the Malian National Institute of Public Health Research INRSP and the Section on Socioenvironmental Studies SSES These units developed a three-pronged protocol reflecting their joint and individual concerns
1 Effects of occupational complexity on psychological functioning The project tests a theory derived from previous SSES research demonstrating that in industrialized societies doing relatively self-directed substantively complex work increases self-directed orientations to self society and family and promotes effective intellectual functioning It uses sociological survey methodology to determine the generalizability of this theory to an essentially pre-literate preindustrial society
2 Effects of work-related stress on mental health Earlier SSES work demonstrated that stressful work conditions lead to distress in industrialized societies This project extends the investigation of these effects to a non-industrialized setting It also extends the investigation of work-related stress to include work-related migration resting a hypothesis that relates equally to SSES and CRMT concerns that individuals from rural ethnic groups with a cultural tradition of work-related migration will show fewer mental health problems when migrating for nontraditional work than those from cultures without such a tradition Mental health problems are assessed through a adaptations of standard survey-based psychological measures of components of distress b general and culture-specific survey-based psychiatric screening questions and c a psychiatric interview conducted by a CRMT psychiatrist trained in internationally accepted diagnostic procedures and knowledgeable about local cultures
3 The effects of migration and cultural and socioeconomic factors on AIDS-related knowledge attitudes and behaviors The survey addresses concern regarding the degree of knowledge about the nature of AIDS among rural Malians who are relatively isolated from urban oriented sources of information about culturally non-traditional issues It also examines how socio-cultural background and migration for work affect AIDS related attitudes and self-reported behaviors in an African society where estimates of HIV prevalence are still relatively low less than 2 compared to those of other sub-Saharan African countries
Although these prongs are distinguishable each requires a longitudinal design a representative sample extensive information about responders social and cultural backgrounds occupational histories work conditions and personal orientations and beliefs Because of their overlapping theoretical approaches and methodological requirements combining them in one project increases the richness and efficiency of the data collected for each

Detailed Description:
This project is a collaboration between the Centre Regional de Medecine Traditionnelle CRMT of the Malian National Institute of Public Health Research INRSP and the Section on Socioenvironmental Studies SSES These units developed a three-pronged protocol reflecting their joint and individual concerns

Although these prongs are distinguishable each requires a longitudinal design a representative sample extensive information about responders social and cultural backgrounds occupational histories work conditions and personal orientations and beliefs Because of their overlapping theoretical approaches and methodological requirements combining them in one project increases the richness and efficiency of the data collected for each
The division of responsibility between SSES and CRMT is as follows
1 The survey questionnaire is the product of SSESCRMT collaboration It has been check by Malian linguists extensively pretested by CRMT and found feasible to administer and likely to provide highly reliable data with sufficient variance to permit the testing of our hypotheses The project has been independently review and approved by the relevant Malian IRB the Ethics Committee and the Medical School of the University of Mali
2 Data Collection involves conducting structured sociological interviews with representative rural samples from three Malian ethnic groups carrying out psychiatric interviews with respondents who fail the psychiatric screen The collection processing and coding of the data is the responsibility of CRMT
3 Data Analysis is primarily the responsibility of the SSES which receives the data in a form in which individual respondents cannot be identified
