title: Ethnocultural approaches to genetics.
abstract: Human cultural needs are not easily categorized, studied, or taught to others outside the group. Generalizations about groups are made to increase the awareness of differences and commonalities. It is hoped that this increased sensitivity will serve as a catalyst for the individual to develop a greater awareness of the importance of culture in delivery of genetic services.
