Summary

Efforts to increase cultural competence in the treatment of mental and physical health are promising, but the wider health care arena and the general public need to pay attention to the causes of health disparities and the role played by multicultural approaches to health. We need a better connection between healthcare and the community, so that individuals can seek out treatments that best fit their cultural needs and the manifold health disparities can be reduced. A great place to start this process is in our classrooms. Every time we teach health psychology, we have an opportunity to open minds to the variance in culture.
