Where does cholera come from? Sample Clauses

Where does cholera come from?. The question of “Where cholera comes from” typically yielded two types of responses: (1)Origins: how it came to arrive in Haiti and (2) Causes: the specific reasons or ways that a person contracts cholera. This question was not specifically asked in the focus group guides and so the data presented here arose from the participants themselves. Theories about how cholera came to Haiti were only discussed by focus groups in the Jolivert program region. The Léogâne and North regions only discussed how people contracted cholera and made no suppositions about its arrival in their country or community. First, I will describe the components of the discussion surrounding how cholera came to Haiti and then I will describe perceptions about how an individual contracts cholera.
