this group?Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary,
secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the
minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.What
cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model
would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?
