  14. CANCER PREVENTION

  15. FIRST GENERATION HEALTH PROMOTION • reducing health risks through interventions to broad population segments, with little or no differentiation in terms of target populations Pasick RJ, D’Onofrio CN, Otero-Sabogal R. “Similarities and Differences Across Cultures: Questions to Inform a Third Generation for Health Promotion Research,“ Health Education Quarterly 1996; 23 (Supplement) S142-S161.

  16. SECOND GENERATION HEALTH PROMOTION • targeting racial and ethnic groups, yielding early efforts at identification of group-specific characteristics and needs • interventions may be insensitive to within-group differences in language, culture, health, and life circumstances (eg, education, socioeconomic status) Pasick RJ, D’Onofrio CN, Otero-Sabogal R. “Similarities and Differences Across Cultures: Questions to Inform a Third Generation for Health Promotion Research,“ Health Education Quarterly 1996; 23 (Supplement) S142-S161.

  17. THIRD GENERATION HEALTH PROMOTION • understanding determinants of pertinent behaviors that are universal (etic) and those that are culture specific (emic), as well as common and unique elements of intervention • communities may be segmented not by ethnicity or race, but by differential health risks and stage of change ... interventions are tailored to those at highest risks Pasick RJ, D’Onofrio CN, Otero-Sabogal R. “Similarities and Differences Across Cultures: Questions to Inform a Third Generation for Health Promotion Research,“ Health Education Quarterly 1996; 23 (Supplement) S142-S161.

  18. TARGETING VS TAILORING

  19. COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION • TARGETING the process of identifying a population subgroup (defined by parameters relevant to health promotion goals and objectives) for the purpose of insuring exposure to the intervention by that group Pasick RJ, D’Onofrio CN, Otero-Sabogal R. “Similarities and Differences Across Cultures: Questions to Inform a Third Generation for Health Promotion Research,”“ Health Education Quarterly 1996; 23 (Supplement) S142-S161.

  20. COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION • TAILORING adaptation of the intervention and/or total redesign to best fit the needs and characteristics of a target audience Pasick RJ, D’Onofrio CN, Otero-Sabogal R. “Similarities and Differences Across Cultures: Questions to Inform a Third Generation for Health Promotion Research, “ Health Education Quarterly 1996; 23 (Supplement) S142-S161.

  21. PATHWAYS TO EARLY DETECTION • Medical Care System Pathway • Community Socio-Cultural System Pathway Hiatt RA, Pasick RJ et al. “Pathways to Early Cancer Detection in the Multiethnic Population of the San Francisco Bay Area,” Health Education Quarterly 23(Supplement) S10-S27, December, 1996.

THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM Popular Sector Individual-based Family-based Social nexus-based Community-based Professional Sector Folk Sector Adapted from Kleinman A: Patients and Healers in the Context of Culture: An Exploration of the Borderland between Anthropology, Medicine, and Psychiatry, Berkeley, University of California Press, 1980

  23. CONFLICTING VALUES Professional System Place High Value on: Families from Different Cultures Place High Value on: • Building personal, trusting relationships with providers as people, not systems • Sharing information through conversation, not documents • Family involvement in and support from the culture for health care choices • Taking whatever time is needed to accomplish healing • Facts rather than feelings and personal relationships • Impersonal communication (written, documented) • Formal appointments and strict timelines • Cost effective services • Speedy delivery of services Nelkin VS, Malach RS: Achieving Healthy Outcomes for Children and Families of Diverse Cultural Backgrounds: A Monograph for Health and Human Services Providers.

  25. What is Cultural Competence? • A system of care that acknowledges and incorporates—at all levels—the importance of culture, and the adaptation of services to meet culturally unique needs; an awareness of the integration and interaction of health beliefs and behaviors, disease prevalence and incidence, and treatment outcomes for different patient populations (Lavizzo-Mourey)

  26. Rationale for Culturally Competent Health Care • Responding to demographic changes • Eliminating disparities in the health status of people of diverse racial, ethnic, & cultural backgrounds • Improving the quality of services & outcomes • Meeting legislative, regulatory, & accreditation mandates • Gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace • Decreasing the likelihood of liability/malpractice claims Cohen E, Goode T.

  32. Challenging “Isms” and “Fears” • Ageism • Sexism • Racism • Classism • Ableism • Homophobia • Xenophobia • Other

  33. Key Points • Every encounter is a cross-cultural encounter. • There is no “cookbook approach” to treating patients. • Avoid stereotyping and overgeneralization.

  34. Guidelines for Health Practitioners: LEARN L : Listen with sympathy and understanding to the patient’s perception of the problem. E : Explain your perceptions of the problem. A : Acknowledge and discuss the differences and similiarities. R : Recommend treatment. N : Negotiate agreement.

  46. The Business Case for Cultural Competence • Hispanic/Latino population in the U.S. is growing five times as fast as the general population and represent $170 billion in purchasing power annually. • African-American purchasing power is approaching $300 billion per year. • Asian-Americans are the fastest-growing ethnic group in the U.S. increasing at rates eight times as fast as the general population. Such buying power is approaching $100 billion per year. • In 1990, the total purchasing power of African, Hispanic, Asian, and Native-Americans and Pacific Islanders was nearly $600 billion.

  47. Cultural Humility • A lifelong commitment to self-evaluation and self-critique • Redressing the power imbalances in the patient-physician dynamic • Developing mutually beneficial partnerships with communities on behalf of individuals and defined populations Tervalon M, Murray-Garcia J: “Cultural humility versus cultural competence: a critical distinction in defining physician training outcomes in multicultural education, “Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved 1998; 9(2):117-124.

  48. “The notion of cultural competence ... needs to build on a two-sided partnership with the expectation that individuals need to work together and ... that each needs to be aware of the other’s cultural values, beliefs, and norms.” Michael V. Kline and Robert M. Huff

  50. “Sometimes it is easier to change the world than to change oneself.” Rabbi Yakov R. Hilsenrath
