Abstract:
:Noneconomic factors can be critical to the outcome of an economic development program. Anyone with development experience will have no difficulty recalling instances where, despite good economic planning, failure to account for social, cultural, and/or health factors has resulted in program accomplishments which fell short of anticipation. Economists are usually ill equipped to properly evaluate and integrate noneconomic factors in development programs, and specialists are therefore required to perform these functions and coordinate with economists so that possible pitfalls are avoided and program outcomes are enhanced. Economic development is interrelated with and interdependent upon health both directly and indirectly. A carefully planned health program can help optimize a regional or national economic development effort.
