This paper describes a broad conceptual framework for analyzing the social and economic aspects of schistosomiasis. In this framework, the household, in an attempt to improve its welfare, is assumed to make a variety of simultaneous decision based on a set of opportunities and constraints defined by its household resources and community environment, which are in turn influenced by public policies and programmes. The analytical gains from utilizing this broad framework in the study of the social and economic consequences of schistosomiasis, the transmission of the disease, and the demand for treatment from the perspective of more effective control of the disease are briefly noted. The paper also describes the research strategy being adopted by an ongoing research in the Philippines with attention to the intensive data requirements that the broad framework calls for.
本文描述了一个用于分析血吸虫病社会和经济方面的广泛概念框架。在这个框架中，为了提高自身福利，家庭被假定会基于一系列由其家庭资源和社区环境所界定的机会和限制条件做出各种同时性决策，而这些机会和限制条件又反过来受到公共政策和项目的影响。简要说明了利用这一广泛框架研究血吸虫病的社会和经济后果、疾病传播以及从更有效控制疾病的角度对治疗的需求所带来的分析收益。本文还描述了菲律宾正在进行的一项研究中所采用的研究策略，并关注了这一广泛框架所要求的密集数据需求。
