Response does not have a word count requirement however all questions have to be completely answered. I need 2-3 resources and they must be cited. Response must be in APA format.

Gender And Health; Compare and contrast gender attitudes and behaviors from a cultural perspective.

/in /by

interview someone who has a different cultural background from your own and is of a different gender. Then, self-interview and compare your responses with the person you interviewed. Finally, using both sets of responses, write 3–5 pages in which you examine cross-cultural and cross-gender similarities and differences in health-related behaviors.
According to Huff (1999), conceptions about health and gender held by various ethnic and immigrant groups within the United States may differ from and even contradict the health concepts of the mainstream society. This assessment will give you the opportunity to examine the concept of “being healthy” across cultures and genders, as well as look at how cultural differences inform social policy related to heath care.
