Cross-cultural assessment and management in primary care

Abstract:
The increasing number of culturally diverse patients in primary care and the demands to provide culturally sensitive health care make it essential that physicians provide care that is responsive to a culturally diverse population. Physicians must use cross-cultural techniques in their assessment and management practices. The cross-culturally competent physician has the potential to increase his or her ability to provide effective and culturally responsive treatment to a wider spectrum of patients, resulting in more positive treatment outcomes.
