title: Dominican concepts of health and illness.
abstract: It is essential that primary health care providers be familiar with the cultural surroundings from which a person emerges. The Dominican immigrants, like all immigrants, bring with them a whole value and belief system concerning health, illness, and disease prevention. Through a better understanding of that belief system, the primary health care provider can offer a more meaningful interaction with the Dominican immigrant population.
