Title
Lay meanings and practices of medicinal use in a multicultural context : a qualitative study among Anglo-Celtic and Russian Australians in Melbourne
Describes medicinal use among Anglo-Celtic and Russian Australians. Cultural constructions of medicines are embedded in health beliefs; shaped by experiences with health care within socio-economic and political contexts. Cultural practices of medicinal use are best understood in the context of lay models of rationality and recognition of the conflict existing between the lay and expert models.
