Health and Human Rights in Chin State, Western Burma: A Population-Based Assessment Using Multistaged Household Cluster Sampling

Abstract

The Chin State of Burma (also known as Myanmar) is an isolated ethnic minority area with poor health outcomes and reports of food insecurity and human rights violations. A report on a population-based assessment of health and human rights in Chin State is given. It is sought to quantify reported human rights violations in Chin State and associations between these reported violations and health status at the household level.
