Prior to beginning work on this , read the Chapter 9 case study, “Cultural Models of Breast Cancer”, located in Chapter 9 (p.169) from the Social and Behavioral Foundations of Public Health textbook.
The case study presented in Chapter 9 highlights how different cultures view disease, prevention, and treatment. Health professionals must remain cognizant of these beliefs if they wish to make meaningful, positive changes.
- Compare and contrast the different cultures highlighted in the case study.
- For example, what are differences in health beliefs across the different cultural groups?
- What are the primary communicable health conditions impacting the populations discussed?
- Discuss one social and one biological determinant not addressed in the case study.
- Support your claim with evidence from at least one scholarly source.
- Critique the information presented in the case study by addressing the following questions:
- How did your research findings support and dispute the information presented in the case study? Explain in detail the differences and similarities found.
- What are possible ethical issues that may have affected the results in the case study?
- If you were one of the researchers on the team, how would you devise a plan to address these ethical issues?
- Identify the social and biological determinants of health that likely influenced the results in the case study.
- Were the determinants of health the same across all the cultural groups in the case study? Why or why not?
