Montagnard Introduction Video

When beginning my research defining barriers to acceptance of Westernized medicine I asked two main questions:
1.What are the cultural barriers to displaced populations acceptance of Western medicine?
2.How can medical practitioners overcome such barriers to improve the health of these displaced populations?

I found that refugee populations are at greater health risk than other segments of the population and are the most likely to experience conflict with Western medical culture. My research attempts to guide health care providers in offering acceptable interventions that will better the overall health of the target population.

There are currently around 7,000 Montagnard refugees living in North Carolina and because of their number and proximity to Elon University, these refugees from Vietnam became the targets of my study. Well start by watching a video that gives more background information about these people and some of the trials they faced in Vietnam and those they contend with now in the United States.
