AB KEY  POINTSPhysicians  need  to  understand  the  traditional  cultural  attitudes,  beliefs,  and  values  of  their  African,  Asian,  and  Hispanic  patients,  because  these  may  affect  healing  practices.Genetic,  environmental,  ethnic,  and  socioeconomic  factors  may  play  roles  in  the  etiology  and  treatment  of  a  disease.Minority  Americans  typically  receive  poorer  healthcare  than  Caucasian  Americans.The  increased  awareness  of  racial  and  cultural  differences  has  encouraged  more  egalitarian  healthcare  delivery  systems  in  America.
