Multicultural Health Websites
Students: The sites in “Health Stats” and “Cultural Competency” contain information for many different ethnic groups. A list for specific ethnic sites is currently under construction. There are literally hundreds, so selecting quality sites is a large task. I would appreciate your suggestions when you discover a good site.
