This paper reports on a rapid ethnographic assessment methodology (REA) that was developed as an essential component of the dietary management of diarrhea (DMD) program. The DMD program is an interdisciplinary research project that has been developed to design intervention programs to reduce or eliminate the nutritional complications of diarrhea in Peru and Nigeria. Anthropological data gathering was an important component of the intervention design, but time and budgetary constraints required a rapid methodological approach. This paper outlines the REA methodology, describes the advantages and disadvantages of the approach, and discusses future applications for international primary health care interventions.
本文报告了一种快速人种志评估方法（REA），该方法是腹泻饮食管理（DMD）项目的重要组成部分。DMD项目是一个跨学科研究项目，旨在设计干预方案，以减少或消除秘鲁和尼日利亚腹泻的营养并发症。人类学数据收集是干预设计的重要组成部分，但时间和预算限制要求采用快速的方法。本文概述了REA方法，描述了该方法的优缺点，并讨论了其在国际初级卫生保健干预中的未来应用。
