      abstract = {This volume is the first comprehensive and  interdisciplinary text to holistically improve  understanding of the health of South Asians residing in the  United States by considering biological, psychological, and  sociocultural factors of health. The vast literatures of  diverse fields - psychology, medicine, public health,  social work, and health policy - are integrated by leading  scholars, scientists, and practitioners in these areas to  explore the impact of South Asian cultural factors on  health, health risk, and illness. Chapters incorporate  available theoretical and empirical information on the  status of chronic health conditions in South Asians in the  United States, with consideration of future directions to  improve understanding of the health of this group. Cultural  and ethnic insights imperative for  clinical/community/medical practitioners to provide  effective and culturally-appropriate care and treatment  from an interdisciplinary lens are provided.},
