Abstract
Data from 201 interviews and 400 hours of observation with a population consisting of Pilipino childbearing women, dominant culture women, and western nurses, all residing in the San Francisco Bay Area, indicate that all three groups base their health care on acquired beliefs. This supernatural approach to health care suggests a religiosity context that applies to all three groups studied. © 1985 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
