%X The North American continent comprises a diverse array of individuals. Although the majority of them prescribe to the beliefs and treatments of Western biomedicine, a substantial number also practice diverse approaches to health. This article summarizes the basic tenets of major non-Western approaches to health, including the main beliefs and treatments. It bases this discussion in the context of health disparities, the existence of which presents a major problem for health care in America, and with an eye toward aiding the development of cultural competence for clinicians and health care providers nationwide.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
