Identify common health traditions based on cultural heritage. Evaluate and discuss how the families subscribe to these traditions and practices.

Instructions:

 

The Heritage Assessment Tool is a set of questions can be used to investigate a given patient’s or your own ethnic, cultural, and religious heritage. It can help you to perform a heritage assessment to determine how deeply a given person identifies with a particular tradition. It is most useful in setting the stage for understanding a person’s HEALTH traditions. The greater the number of positive responses, the greater the person’s identification with a traditional heritage. The one exception to positive answers is the question about family name change. This question may be answered negatively.
