TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Armed conflict and poverty in Central America: the convergence of epidemiology and human rights advocacy JO - Epidemiology A1 - Brentlinger, Paula E. A1 - HernĂ¡n, Miguel A. SP - 673 EP - 677 VL - 18 IS - 6 N2 - Several armed conflicts took place in Central America during the last 3 decades of the 20th century. In this commentary, we discuss (1) studies describing the interrelationships among health, violence, and poverty during and after these conflicts and (2) some important lessons learned from these studies. We hope that those lessons help epidemiologists and others who must confront, and describe, similar situations elsewhere.
