- TAPS has explored the impact of lifestyle change on the well-being of an indigenous Bolivian group.
- We describe the history of the study, research methods, data collected, and major findings to date.
- TAPS data are suited for examining market effects on well-being in a non-Western rural setting.
This brief communication contains a description of the 2002-2010 annual panel collected by the Tsimane' Amazonian Panel Study team. The study took place among the Tsimane', a native Amazonian society of forager-horticulturalists. The team tracked a wide range of socio-economic and anthropometric variables from all residents (633 adults â¥16 years; 820 children) in 13 villages along the Maniqui River, Department of Beni. The panel is ideally suited to examine how market exposure and modernization affect the well-being of a highly autarkic population and to examine human growth in a non-Western rural setting.
