Advocacy for the Hmong community

Order Description

After reading The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down

Based on your reading of the book, you will play the role of an advocate and write an extended appeal for a way to resolve the bridge between the two cultures and ethnomedical systems, and to find some approach that will result in better health outcomes.

You have two choices:

Write the appeal as an advocate for the Hmong community, or as an advocate for the hospital that treated Lia (the Hmong child).

In either case, your appeal must include the following components:

Description of both ethnomedical systems: For either option, your appeal must incorporate a description of the ethnomedical system of the party for whom you are an advocate, as well as for the other party.

A proposed approach to improve health outcomes: Assuming that both sides want better health outcomes, propose an approach or program to achieve that goal from your specific advocacy perspective.
