Why do affluent Americans seek health via their computers? How can a peyote culture be said to pursue wellness? This collection of 12 essays focuses on the ways individuals seek equilibrium (more widely understood as health in Eurocentric culture) within their environment. These health-seeking behaviors vary widely from culture to culture, and these essays reflect that diversity in their studies of health-seeking behaviors among Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Africans located in Namibia, Nigerian-Americans, Arab-Americans, native Hawaiians, resettled refugees of Southeast Asian ethnicities, people in the health care system of India, practitioners of Big and Little Moon peyotism, Asians in Singapore, and the aforesaid affluent who seek healing and health on the Internet.

This book presents articles that explore help-seeking behaviour within various social and cultural contexts. Critical to this book is the bridging of two concepts that have traditionally appeared in disparate places within the published health arena, i.e., ethnicity and health-seeking behavior. This book brings these concepts together to emphasize their impact on understanding the cultural and social influences of how individuals respond to ill health.
