In this activity, you will review sample case studies in public health and exemplify how cultural competence can improve communications in these case studies.
Step 1: Review and Analyze

- How can cultural competence provide guidance in addressing this situation?
- As a public health practitioner, what can you do to increase your understanding of the patient's culture so that you can get the patient into care & treatment?
