This postdoctoral research and training project seeks to understand the relationship between human rights, their abuses, and the health status of Haitian workers in the Dominican Republic. The social scientific literature on the status of Haitian workers' well-being does not often illuminate the health status of this population. Likewise, medical literature regarding health and disease among Haitian populations does not elucidate the broader socioeconomic context which helps structure health outcomes. Given the documented abuse of Haitian workers in the Domincan Republic, what are its likely impacts upon the health status of these workers? A study of Haitian workers presents an opportunity to examine in detail the pathogenic effects of social inequalities on this often unprotected population. This project has three objectives: 1) to assess the living and working conditions of Haitian cane cutters who reside on bateyes (shanty town dwellings) and Haitian workers in other sectors of the economy, 2) to evaluate the health status of these workers vis-a-vis these conditions, and 3) to correlate health status with gender, legal status, class, Spanish-speaking proficiency, and type of work on or off the bateyes.

该博士后研究和培训项目旨在了解多米尼加共和国的海地工人的人权，虐待和健康状况之间的关系。关于海地工人福祉状况的社会科学文献并没有经常阐明该人群的健康状况。同样，关于海地人口中有关健康和疾病的医学文献并不能阐明更广泛的社会经济环境，这有助于构建健康结果。鉴于在多米肯共和国有记录的海地工人虐待，它可能对这些工人的健康状况有何影响？一项对海地工人的研究为详细介绍社会不平等现象对这个通常不受保护的人群的致病作用提供了机会。该项目有三个目标：1）评估居住在贝特耶斯（Bateyes）（棚户区的住所）和海地工人的海地甘蔗切割机的生活和工作条件，2）以评估这些工人对这些条件的健康状况，以及这些条件的健康状况，以及3）与性别，法律状况，宣布级别的典型级别的效率和类似于责任的人，或者宣传效率，或类似于责任，或类似于责任，或者宣传的效率和类似于责任，或者是跨越级别的，或者是分类的。
