An anthropological approach to community diagnosis in family practice
Fam Med.
1986 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
Developing a community oriented family practice requires gathering information about the community, its health problems and resources, and organizing these data into a community diagnosis. Viewing the community from both the insider and outsider perspectives allows the clinician to use social indicator data as well as subjective data from residents in the community. This paper describes the application of anthropological concepts in the process of community diagnosis within an urban teaching family practice.
