The Use of Traditional Social Settings in the Management of Contemporary Health Problems
Abstract
Empirical health & social research conducted in both the black
& white communities of central Miss since Apr 1969, has attempted
to document dominant health problems & to develop effective
community-based behavior change or health intervention models. It is
argued that effective health intervention models must be articulated
to the local social structure, specifically the church & the
extended family. The effectiveness of two such community-based models
of high blood pressure detection & control is discussed, based on
outcome data. 1 Table, 10 References. Modified HA
