• W116517459 abstract "Introduction There are some fundamental differences in beliefs about health, (1-5) for instance an earlier study (6) reported on health status being conceived, measured and addressed according to a biomedical model, which was in contrast to an earlier review (7) that described the influence of culture on health and wellbeing in a Pacific-based population. Unfortunately, to date there is still a dearth of research on Black and other visible minority ethnic communities' views on health. Understanding what people think about health is important for those promoting public health initiatives. If individuals have different views of health from health practitioners, for example, if they do not believe that the use of condoms are effective in preventing sexually transmitted infections, or that changing to a healthy diet will reduce the risk of cardiovascular illness, they would be less likely to be persuaded to adopt professional guidelines for strategies to manage their health or prevent illness. Previous studies (2, 8-10) provided evidence that the quality of a person's health may have some cultural and socio-economic determinants. Arab Americans (2) perceive health to be an entrusted gift and cultural and religious beliefs encourage humbleness against boasting when asked about one's health. A common response to the question How is your health? is Thanks to God, it is fine (p. 2102). Further evidence of cultural association with the concept of health is found in the studies of African American women (9,10): body image and body size is culturally defined and not equally stigmatized by all cultures. African American women involved in the studies were reported as being the least concerned with their body weight; yet western health promotion initiatives are directed at addressing obesity and physical activity. These studies suggested that individual personal beliefs about health and illness are central to the process of change. Such belief systems also reflect social, economic and environmental factors. (11) Consequently, health promotion initiatives may in some cases fail abjectly where they take inadequate account of individuals' views about health including their life experiences, cultural and social issues. Understanding what influences a community's definition of health is the first important step for health promotion practitioners to develop cultural sensitive health education and health promotion programmes. Unfortunately, there is little information describing Black and visible minority ethnic communities' experiences of health and healthy lifestyles from their perspectives in the United Kingdom (UK). In this paper the author presents qualitative data on the perceptions and beliefs about health of a group of Black families, including adolescents, of African Caribbean descent. Findings indicated that the intricate connections between values, beliefs and prevailing African Caribbean life situations such as experiences of social exclusion in the UK has played a significant role in influencing their beliefs and perceptions of health. The paper then examines the implications of such beliefs on the practice of health promotion. Methods The material is drawn from a larger community-based qualitative study examining the healthy lifestyle attitudes and experiences of African Caribbean families and adolescents in West Yorkshire, a county in the north of England, UK. The author used in-depth interviews to collect data. The ethics panel of the local National Health Service approved the study. The author sent participants a written and oral explanation of the study and asked them for their consent to participate, which they all provided. The principles of purposive sampling (12) were applied to identify 10 African Caribbean families (see table 1) comprising 23 adolescents (age range 12-17) and 18 adults (age range 22-60) who participated in the study. There were 16 female and 7 male adolescents, and 10 women and 8 men. …" @default.
