DSDR is pleased to announce the release of Inequality, Social Capital, and Health in Bolivia, 2008-2009, a randomized, controlled trial examining the independent effect of village income inequality and individual income on individual health. Specifically, the study assessed how these two variables interacted with social capital to affect individual health. Forty villages were selected for two experimental treatments, with households receiving edible rice or rice seeds, depending on their role in the sample. The baseline survey was administered between February and May 2008, the treatments went into effect October 2008 to January 2009, and then the end-line survey was administered between February and May 2009.
Outcomes include anthropometric indicators of nutritional status, perceived health, and blood pressure.
