| Title | GP Consultations and Concepts of Illness : Asians in Bristol, 1987-1989
|
| Notes | Conducted between 1987 - 1989, this study aimed to document and interpret conceptions of health and illness used by doctors and patients; and to show that the way in which people think about their health affects their consultation with a doctor. This study concentrated on patients of South-Asian ancestry where misunderstandings in the medical situation are often compounded by the lack of a shared language and little appreciation of differences in custom and outlook. Some of the misunderstandings result from very basic differences in the way doctors and patients feel about such concepts as 'the body', 'hot' and 'cold', and 'feeling well'.
