RESUMEN

Several incidents of aggressive behaviour in a rural community in Jamaica were investigated by a team of workers each of whose contributions enabled a composite picture of the incidents to be built up. Social and economic factors as well as the influence of close kin marriages were considered to be important causes of these incidents. Recommenations based on the investigating team's appraisal of the situation were made. Such an epidemiological study could not have been undertaken without the cooperation and special skills of the individual members of the team. (AU)
