In a multicultural society it is essential for health professionals to understand beliefs concerning health and illness prevalent in different ethnic groups. Provider knowledge of and sensitivity to patients' culture-specific health-related beliefs are necessary for promoting disease prevention, enhancing adjustment to illness, and improving adherence to treatment.
