title: African-American families with chronically ill children: oversights and insights.
abstract: From a critical review of the literature concerning African-American families' management and care of children having chronic illness, we concluded that information on culture-related experiences in such families remains seriously deficient. To present an accurate picture of African-American life as these families manage a child with a chronic illness, more comprehensive and detailed descriptions of family caregiving styles and other experiences are needed.
