Summary
The tradition of taking family and social histories and integrating these aspects into formulations and recommendations is a time-honoured health practice. The role of ethnic cultural understandings of family and community pertinent to this process is less clear. Alongside this, the extent to which contemporary practice keeps up with culturally responsive research, investigating concepts of family and community, is variable. This chapter covers how relevant research and practice-based evidence might inform health practitioners to better engage with concepts of family and community through an ethnic cultural lens. The topic is vast and this chapter presents a pragmatic review of the salient literature together with a tailored critique of key issues that impact on practitioners and policymakers alike.
