title: Cultural sensitivity in patient health education.
abstract: Changes in demographics, economic, and political factors have affected health care delivery, while the patient population and the health care providers have continued to increase in diversity. Cultural sensitivity is a necessary component in development of comprehensive patient, family, or community health education plans. Consideration of the ACCESS Model can facilitate the development of successful interactions in providing culturally sensitive patient education programs.
