What is the range of interaction outside of the cultural group?

HLT 110 Culture Specific Health Promotion Project
In this assignment, students develop a health promotion project for a cultural group living in the United States. You are to learn as much as you can about the cultural norms and patterns and how these norms and patterns influence health practices. The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop a deeper understanding and sensitivity regarding the role of culture in clients/patients’ lives through the examination of a cultural/ethnic/sub-cultural group.
This project can be completed by one student or by a small group of students (2-3 max.).
Grades will be assigned by group, meaning each student in the group will receive the same grade.

One paper with a minimum of 3-5 pages of content (Works Cited page is not content), cited throughout the text and a Works Cited page as the last page of the paper.
PowerPoint Presentation (3-5 slides of content) upload and present on the Discussion Board.
 Each slide is footnoted with citation.

Pay attention to the two core areas below in the development of your program.
Health Information/Education and Planning Your Program
 Planning health education programs requires identifying and building on cultural strengths and ensuring sensitivity to cultural factors. Meeting the language and cultural needs of each identified minority group, using minority specific community resources to tailor educational approaches, and developing materials and methods of presentation that are at the educational level of the target population are essential considerations in the planning process. Health programs should be sustainable over a long period of time and accountable to the people they serve.
Culture and Healing Practices
 Some individuals and families in some cultural groups may also use traditional healing systems, sometimes called lay or folk-healing systems, with or without allopathic (modern) medicine. People may seek help from traditional or religious healers.
 Health status of all people is influenced by the interaction of physiological, cultural, psychological, economic and societal factors. Diversity within and among groups necessitates data collection activities and programs that are tailored to meet the unique
health care needs of different subgroups.
 Health beliefs are translated into health care practices, which then affect health status.
What constitutes appropriate care for specific health conditions may be guided by cultural and social class expectations?
