Communication strategies for_the_aa_and_nhpi_m_nitta_final
This document discusses culturally appropriate communication strategies for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AAs and NHPIs). It notes that AAs and NHPIs are diverse populations comprising over 100 languages and ethnic groups. Immigrant populations from these groups often face language and cultural barriers as well as socioeconomic challenges. The document recommends using positive, non-scary visual messages that are direct yet not too detailed. It emphasizes translating materials into appropriate languages and working with community messengers people can relate to. Examples demonstrate targeting messages toward specific ethnic groups using culturally relevant images and language.
African-American Culture 2013
African American culture is rooted in African traditions but is a unique blend with some European American influences. Family and church are core values, with kinship bonds extending to grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. While Protestant Christianity is most common, some African Americans also practice Islam, Catholicism, or traditional African religions. Culturally competent care requires understanding the impact of historical discrimination and showing respect for health beliefs, which may include spiritual causes of illness and home remedies in addition to biomedical treatment. Diet plays an important role, as traditional soul foods can increase risk of obesity and related diseases if not prepared healthfully.
BLACK AND AFRICAN AMERICANS Group 2Andria TitoFrang
This document provides an overview of key aspects of Black and African American culture including racial/ethnic identity, history, language, health beliefs, religion, nutrition, and health promotion strategies. It discusses how slavery has impacted their values of strength and unity. Their language developed from slaves combining English and their native tongues. Many hold Christian beliefs and see religion as connecting them to God and guiding their morals. Diet is influenced by socioeconomics and access to foods while lifecycle events integrate religious traditions. Efforts are needed to address health disparities like cardiovascular disease through improving access to care, education, and policy reforms.
Youth and Health: Cultural Resources
The document discusses the historical importance of youth health for African Americans and challenges to health faced by youth today. It summarizes that African American slaves targeted young, healthy slaves who helped feed their families through gathering and small farming. Today, many African American youth face obesity, diabetes and other diseases due to lack of access to nutritious foods, sedentary lifestyles, and targeted advertising of unhealthy foods on TV. The document calls on youth, parents and policymakers to promote health through education, active lifestyles, and policies that address poverty and corporate influences.

Assessment 1 oral presentation - Culture, diversity & health
Indigenous Australians and Pacific Islanders have faced numerous health challenges due to historical factors like colonization introducing new diseases, and more recently due to difficulties accessing appropriate healthcare services. Some key health issues include higher rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental health problems. Both groups experience similar barriers like language and cultural differences, but Indigenous Australians face additional issues of racism, discrimination, and the legacy of policies like the Stolen Generations. Improving health requires culturally-sensitive care, education to increase health literacy, and addressing social determinants like employment and housing.

4) Recommendations to promote physical activity through physical education, community programs, and developing lifelong healthy habits.
ISLAND HEALTH REVIEW, PROGRESS AND THE WAY FORWARD IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC REG...
This document summarizes health indicators and issues facing island populations in the Western Pacific region. It finds that 15 islands had health expenditures below $500 per capita, and physician and nurse staffing levels fell below WHO recommendations of 1 doctor and 6 nurses per 1,000 people. These island populations also have higher disease burdens, with non-communicable diseases contributing to elevated mortality rates. The document highlights four key areas for improving island health: sustainable health workforce development, improved maternal and antenatal healthcare, and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases. However, it notes limitations from underreporting of some maternal health data and generalization of reported statistics.
