In Promoting Health in Multicultural Populations, professors Robert M. Huff and Michael V. Kline have put together an indispensable resource that offers not only a wealth of information and examples about specific cultural groups in North America but also assessment and implementation guidelines for promoting health in any cultural community. The first part of this handbook explores the context of culture, cross-cultural concepts of health and disease, conceptual approaches to multicultural health promotion, and suggestions for planning health promotion for multicultural populations. Subsequent parts discuss Hispanic/Latino, African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian American, and Pacific Islander populations. Each of these parts comprises three chapters describing the characteristics of the population, providing guidelines for practice and offering a case study that demonstrates the points made previously in the section. The book concludes with an examination of the editors′ cultural assessment framework and a look at the future of multicultural health promotion and disease prevention.
Promoting Health in Multicultural Populations will prove to be an excellent shelf reference for health and human service providers and scholars, and an invaluable text for students in a wide variety of professional disciplines, including public health and other arenas of health care, social work, medical sociology and anthropology.
