Abstract

NSW is one of Australia’s most multicultural states, with 29 per cent of residents having been born overseas and 24 per cent speaking a language other than English at home. Given that rates of death and disease and patterns of health service utilisation differ across cultural variables such as region or country of birth, a better understanding of the interactions between culture and health may enable public health programs and clinical services to be more sensitive to community needs.
