We want to understand how people make decisions about managing their health. If we understand how people are treating themselves, the information can be useful for physicians.

We have learned over the years that people in this community didn't learn about herbs. When they were growing up, their grandmothers may have used chamomile tea. But, doctors were coming into these communities, so they weren't home-doctored by their grandmothers and didn't learn about the herbs. However, the use of home remedies has continued here.
