Prevention Policymaking and Health Systems in Latin America: why and when governments plan ahead

PALAVRAS-CHAVES:

prevention, path dependence, health systems, political institutions, latin america politics, dengue fever

PÁGINAS: 242
RESUMO:

Which political factors lead to prevention as a policy choice? I argue that prevention

policymaking happens when the uncertainty of the decision-making

environment is minimised, which happens in stable and resilient arrangements.

My independent variables are policymaking stability index, fiscal

decentralisation and health systems, and I condition their impact to path

dependence of the countries institutions and economy. I investigate these

associations in a mixed methods approach, by a Convergence Design. I operationalise

these variables as continuous indicators in a comparative OLS

regression model with error adjustment for seven Latin American countries.

I find that decentralisation is the most consistent covariate, compulsory insurance

health system models have a small but positive association, and

policymaking stability is conditioned by the inclusion of control variables

such as quality of government and cabinet ideology. In general, the strongest

models are lagged ten years before emphasis in prevention, showing the impact

of path dependence. Decentralisation is also a great driving force in my

case study of the Dengue Control Program in Brazil, as identified through

categorical aggregation of documents and interviews material. Governments’

preferences, financing priorities and how they conceptualise prevention over

time have been shown to shape how the policy is designed.
