Promote culturally competent social work practice with families of
many traditions This broad-ranging book highlights the enormous
importance of the family in enhancing individuals' health and in
safeguarding mental health. Families and Health offers an
international scope and a multicultural frame of reference. The
original research presented here includes both qualitative and
quantitative studies on the role of family support in maintaining
personal well-being. These empirical studies look at groups as
diverse as elderly Samoans living in Hawaii, Nigerian families
living in Africa, and children of all races and ethnic groups
living in Florida foster care. The results are consistent across
the cultures, however. Good family support prevents many health
problems and ameliorates such unpreventable ones as aging. Poor
family support leads to increased physical and emotional illness as
well as higher rates of drug abuse and other addictions.Families
and Health discusses the role healthy families play in various
health and mental health issues, including: preventing drug use
successful treatment for substance abuse caregiving of the frail
elderly dealing with relatives who suffer from schizophrenia This
helpful book will be of use in promoting culturally competent
practice among social workers, psychologists, therapists, and
gerontologists. It will also be of interest to policymakers, health
and wellness researchers, and scholars in ethnic studies.

This pocket guide offers researchers a framework for conducting
research in a culturally sensitive manner with individuals,
families, and communities in diverse settings. This unique
framework focuses on a process, rather than a typology of
behaviors, attitudes, values, and beliefs. All too frequently,
cross-cultural research improperly attributes behaviors, beliefs,
and values entirely to culture, when a closer examination would
reveal the shared influences of gender, socioeconomic status,
immigration status, and racial and ethnic backgrounds that interact
in complex ways. By encouraging practitioners to incorporate an
intersectionality lens into their work, this pocket guide helps
researchers reveal stories that are more than the sum of particular
identities.
Sharing their extensive research experience with diverse
populations around the world, the authors present a range of fluid
and dynamic cross-cultural research practices that readers can
easily adapt to their unique circumstances. At the intersection of
culture and research methods, chapters illustrate the application
of the model to three broad areas of inquiry: describing the nature
of a problem; understanding the etiology of the problem; and
evaluating the interventions designed to ameliorate the problem.
Each area is illustrated with examples of research projects that
incorporate multiple epistemologies and methodologies in order to
better understand and respond to a population's needs.
This guide offers a complete roadmap for developing cross-cultural
projects that truly engage communities, and will be a trusted
resource for students and seasoned researchers alike.
