NUR 390 Culture and Health Care   Tags: countries, cultures, health, health beliefs, health care, health practices  

The Ethnomed site has very nice cultural overviews designed for health care professionals. So does Dayer-Berenson's "Cultural competencies for nurses" and other transcultural nursing books. But these sources might not include the cultural group you want to study.

Other background sources are linked in the Countries tab and the Health tab above.

The book search below can lead to other introductory information, and article searches to narrowly focused sources.
