Health care providers' perspectives on challenges and opportunities of intercultural health care in diabetes and obesity management: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Migrants often face worse health outcomes in countries of transit and destination because of challenges such as financial constraints, employment problems, lack of a network of social support, language and cultural differences, and difficulties accessing health services. As understanding how the migrant context affects patient-provider engagement is critical to the provision of contextually appropriate care, this study aimed at understanding primary health care provider perspectives on challenges and opportunities of the intercultural care process for migrant patients with diabetes and obesity.

Methods

This qualitative study within a multimethod, participatory research project involved primary care providers in clinics and primary care networks in Edmonton, Albert
