Public Health in a Multicultural Environment

Summary Statement of Rationale

In summary, these rationales demonstrate the interconnection between:
  1. The cultural, social, economic, environmental, vocational, physical, and emotional conditions in which many diverse racial, ethnic, and language groups spend part or all of their lives
  2. The manner in which the public health system does or does not respond effectively to these conditions
  3. The importance of cultural and linguistic competence to the design, delivery, and evaluation of a service system that meets the needs and preferences of multicultural populations
