dc.description.abstractThe study explored socio-economic gradients in health among smallholder member participants of a pesticide-related health and agriculture program in highland Ecuador. Twenty-four communities were profiled using key informant interviews, secondary data (percent of population with unsatisfied basic needs), and intervention implementation indicators. The paper examines determinants of health inequities in neurobehavioral performance among households in the 24 participating communities. A significant improvement was noted in the proportion of household managers that reported wearing gloves to wash clothing used in spraying.en
