 note = {application/pdf, Examining the role of folk medicine in a regional health care system, and the distribution of folk medical knowledge among the Baka people, the author observed the coping behavior for illness among the Baka hunter-gatherers with limited access to modern medicine. The data was collected by a daily interviewing method: visiting all families (a total population of 129) every day in a settlement in the Soanke District of northwestern Republic of Congo for 66 days from October 1990 to January 1991 and interviewing the main members of each family about their health condition and their coping behavior when family members become ill. The findings are as follows:  1. Thirty-nine various terms for illness or symptoms were recorded in 304 cases of illness.   2. The illness composition of the 304 cases were similar to the disease composition of diagnosis records for outpatients in the hospital of Soanke town.   3. Some treatments were given in more than half of the cases, the most of which were home remedies.   4. Almost all of the home remedies were self-medication using some raw materials as medicines.   5. Most of the raw materials used for medicines were tree bark, roots, and leaves of plants, identified by 71 vernacular names, including 56 wild kinds.   6. Self-medication methods given for each illness or symptom were very diverse.   7. The reason for such diverse self-medication methods was probably that each inhabitant had a large stock of knowledge of medicinal plants and folk medical knowledge which he or she had was not common, but personal.},
