Medical culture
Health reporters may be interested in having a look at
EthnoMed, a Web site about cultural beliefs and the issues involved in the health care of recent immigrants. The site is largely about immigrants to the US, many of whom are fleeing war or conflict in their home countries, but the information would be useful to most reporters. The site at
http://www.ethnomed.org/ has culture-specific pages for Amharic, Cambodian, Chinese, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Mexican, Oromo, Somali, Tigrean and Vietnamese cultures as well as other information.
