However, in that continent it has specific characteristics. Methods: The paper explores epidemiology in the Latin American continent, emphasizing on the one hand epidemiology as a knowledge-producing, scientific discipline, and on the other hand, epidemiology in praxis, with its firm commitment to contributing towards transforming the health of the population. Results: It has been possible to identify at least eight idiosyncrasies that characterize epidemiology in Latin America. It is being forged with a strong connection to the evolution of the discipline in an international context; however, it has its feet firmly planted in reality, seeking to extract from that reality elements that may contribute towards diminishing the serious health problems in that society. Conclusions: This paper presents a picture of the development of epidemiology in Latin America. It is very clear that as well as a lively, intense, intellectual debate, there is a frantic search for alternatives that will increase Latin American populations’ possibilities of survival. However, one important aspect is that these two elements—theory and praxis—present consistent dialectic relationships and feedback; this is the main wealth of Latin American epidemiology.Submitted by Ana Valéria de Jesus Moura (anavaleria_131@hotmail.com) on 2011-12-13T13:39:58Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Int.
