This resource explores how culture influences the health of children. Key learning points in this resource are:
Diversity exists within any single culture.
The adaptation of a child can be influenced by numerous factors in addition to culture (personal, family, migration-related, social, environmental).
Any negative effects of such factors may be well hidden by the child.
A child may compensate for a parent’s debility.
Migration trajectories vary in significant ways.
