This combined literature review and annotated bibliography of 193 references on sociocultural factors in health planning for developing countries is the fourth volume in the series of works known collectively as the International Health Planning Reference Series. The series provides AID advisors and health officials in developing countries with critically needed references for incorporating health planning into national plans for economic development. This volume is intended primarily as a companion piece to volume four, Methods Series: Sociocultural Factors in Health Planning. References included here have been selected to identify works that support and enlarge upon material in the basic manual. This volume is divided into sections on: definitions of health; responses to illness; the interaction of traditional medical systems and modern medicine; and conclusions.
