墨西哥移民有着悠久的传统治疗历史。该分析描述了墨西哥移民向索巴多尔寻求治疗的条件，并描述了影响向索巴多尔或生物医学医生寻求治疗的因素。这项系统的定性分析使用了对 24 名北卡罗来纳州成年墨西哥移民收集的访谈数据，这些移民在过去 2 年中接受过 asobador 的治疗。移民参与医疗多元化，根据投诉和患者年龄向索巴多医生和生物医生寻求护理。使用度假村等级制度，成年人向索巴多尔寻求不涉及骨折的肌肉骨骼疼痛的治疗。在治疗儿童时，首先会咨询医生；如果医生没有提供适合其文化的治疗，则会咨询索巴多尔。墨西哥移民寻求解决其文化决定的健康问题的护理。仍然需要改善弱势移民群体获得文化上合格的生物医学保健服务的机会。
Mexican immigrants have a rich history of traditional healers. This analysis describes the conditions for which Mexican immigrants seek treatment fromsobadores, and delineates factors that influence seeking treatment from asobadoror a biomedical doctor. This systematic qualitative analysis uses interview data collected with 24 adult Mexican immigrants to North Carolina who had been treated by asobadorin the previous 2 years. Immigrants are engaged in medical pluralism, seeking care fromsobadoresand biomedical doctors based on the complaint and patient’s age. Using a hierarchy of resort, adults seek treatment fromsobadoresfor musculoskeletal pain not involving a fracture. Doctors are first consulted when treating children;sobadoresare consulted if doctors do not provide culturally appropriate treatment. Mexican immigrants seek care that addresses their culturally determined health concerns. The need to improve access to culturally competent biomedical health care for vulnerable immigrant populations continues.
