    born and where have you been living in the recent past? Tell me about your parents and their origins.

    you to care for yourself or others in keeping well or to regain health? How does religion help you heal or

    upon modern technologies to remain healthy or get access to care? (Give some example)

    that statement? In what ways do you believe money influences your health and access to care or to
    obtain professional services? Do you find money is necessary to keep you well? If not, explain. How do
    you see the cost of hospital care versus home care cost practices? Optional: Who are the wage earners
    in your family? Do they earn enough to keep you well or help you if sick?

    influence your health. What are some of your views about politics and how you and others maintain
    your wellbeing? In your community or home what political or legal problems tend to influence your
    wellbeing or handicap your lifeways in being cared for by yourself or others? (Explain)
