Lancet Commission 2014: Culture and Health
2014
This Lancet Commission report is a detailed appraisal of the role of culture in health, bringing together voices from different fields, including anthropologists, social scientists, and medical experts. Experts review health practices as they relate to culture, identify and assess pressing issues, and recommend lines of research that are needed to address pressing issues and emerging needs. The commission examines three overlapping domains of culture and health: cultural competence, health inequalities, and communities of care. With reference to these domains, the commission shows how inseparable health is from cultural perceptions of well-being.
