Abstract

The Bangladeshi population in the Detroit Metropolitan (MP) area is significant. The leading cause of mortality amongst Bangladeshis is cardiovascular disease (CDC). Providers typically manage this through nutrition counseling. There is a growing need to provide resources to specifically care for this population. The purpose of this study is to conduct knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAP) survey of medical providers in the Detroit MP area to understand their views and ideas. Given the diverse backgrounds of patients, physicians must have a fundamental understanding of different cultures to provide the best care for patients. Thus, in a sample of providers that care for Bangladeshis, how effective would culturally-competent nutrition counseling be viewed as opposed to the current homogenous approach?
