Résumé

L'étude d'un cas Nigerien illustre comment la compréhension, par les gens locaux, de la same agit sur les perceptions de la survie infantile, en cela que les interprétations des indigènes peuvent se juxtaposer à des données extérieures différentes. La conclusion tirée de deux recherches étendues sur un village de Hausa-Fulani, effectuées à douze années d'interval, suggère un déclin dans les taux de mortalité infantile consécutif à la plus grande disponibilité de biomédicaments. Nous notons cependant que, d'apres les perceptions locales, les risques de mortalité sont maintenant plus élevés pour les enfants de moins de cinq ans. Notre désbat est centré sur les circonstances impliquées dans cette ethnodémographie et son application a d'autres études de population.
