Health specialists from the US and Canada begin with the principles of health promotion, including culture and cultural competence; traditional concepts of health and disease; ethics; theories and models of behavior change; health disparities; the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; the cultural assessment framework; health promotion and education planning models, theories, and practice issues; and health communication and health literacy when working with multicultural populations. Subsequent chapters focus on specific populations (Hispanic/Latino, African American, American Indian and Alaskan Native, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Arab American) and their historical and demographic characteristics, immigration patterns, health and disease issues, health beliefs and practices, and considerations for working with them; case studies; and general and specific health promotion tips, which have been combined into a comprehensive chapter in this edition. It also adds six new chapters, including new chapters on Pacific Islander populations, a new American Indian case study focusing on mental health, a new case study on Arab-Americans, and a new chapter on cross-cultural communication and health literacy.
