Fisher, et. al.(2007) reviewed culturally sensitive interventions aimed at narrowing racial disparities in health care. The conclusion of this research team is that:
a. interventions that explicitly use culturally sensitive interventions show tremendous promise in reducing health disparities.
b. more research needs to be completed to see if culturally sensitive interventions narrow racial disparities as the data is inconclusive.
c. culturally sensitive interventions actually increase racial disparity.
d. cultural specific interventions work for Latinos and African Americans, but not for other ethnic groups.
Question 2
Although interventions are designed to change behavior and enhance health, sometimes this does not happen. In a classic example of this issue, Mann et al, 1997 evaluated an eating disorder program and found that:
a. the students in the control group actually did better than those in the experimental group
b. friends of students in the study got worse
c. students in the experimental group got worse instead of better
d. roommates of students in the experimental group did worse than the experimental students
