For some the answer is to see their experiences as part of the general social class inequality in health, but recent evidence questions the extent to which social class can explain the variations in health which ethnic minorities experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eResearching the Cultural Differences in Health\u003c\/em\u003e offers a range of accounts of how people in ethnic minority groups perceive and manage their illness. Some of the chapters focus on Bangladeshi, and other South Asian groups, as well as Afro-Caribbeans and Irish people.\u003cbr\u003e The illness conditions discussed include diabetes, hypertension, sickle-cell disorder, mental illness and coronary heart disease. This book will provide invaluable reading for those involved in providing health services for ethnic minorities, and all lecturers and students in medical and nursing education as well as those studying sociology and social administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila Hillier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041511182X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415111829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Sheila Hillier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013733757183,"sku":"9780415111829","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63fe28d3-e04b-40d3-90ff-4da1a2af8164.jpg?v=1767744431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/researching-cultural-differences-in-health-sheila-hillier-9780415111829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
