Abstract
This dissertation describes the availability and interrelations of three overlapping systems of medical and health care as they are used by Taiwanese villagers: Western-style medicine, Chinese secular herbal medicine, and Chinese religious medicine. The nature of each system and beliefs popularly associated with each are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the use of health-care resources by women and to the means by which women arrive at decisions concerning which medical system to use for particular cases of illness or injury.
