DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall aim of this qualitative, anthropological research is to explore the relationship between gender, age, and ethnicity among people who live with chronic illness. The following domains are examined: 1) Cultural Values: autonomy/self-determination; religion; social support; age; 2) Self management: health behavior; self-care, dealing with limitations; emotional and bodily response to illness; control; 3) Health Care System: discrimination and access to healthcare; satisfaction with healthcare. We examine the full range of this experience by studying 240 middle- and low-income women and men age 50-80 in three ethnic groups of 80 each: African Americans, Latinos, and Cambodian Americans, using qualitative methods and measures of health status that can be quantified. Respondents will be interviewed longitudinally, with 2 interviews at 6-month intervals. Qualitative analysis will be undertaken in a systematic progression of steps and will be supported by quantitative analysis of health measurement data, measures, and qualitatively-derived data.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项定性人类学研究的总体目标是探索慢性病患者的性别、年龄和种族之间的关系。审查以下领域： 1）文化价值观：自治/自决；宗教;社会支持；年龄; 2）自我管理：健康行为；自我照顾，应对局限性；对疾病的情绪和身体反应；控制; 3）医疗保健系统：歧视和获得医疗保健的机会；对医疗保健的满意度。我们通过研究 240 名年龄在 50-80 岁之间的中低收入女性和男性来全面考察这种经历，这些女性和男性来自三个种族群体，每组 80 人：非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔和柬埔寨裔美国人，使用定性方法和健康状况衡量标准，可以量化。受访者将接受纵向访谈，每 6 个月进行 2 次访谈。定性分析将按系统的步骤进行，并得到健康测量数据、措施和定性数据的定量分析的支持。
