In rural Southern Chile, native Mapuche families receive care mostly from non-indigenous clinicians. Parents and doctors alike orient to the importance of timely medical care, but clinical and communication norms also result in misunderstandings and tension. Parents find it hard to communicate about structural obstacles, and valued practices of care in families may conflict with normative expectations for timely presentation.

Factors Related to Disclosure and Nondisclosure of Dietary Supplements in Primary Care, Integrative Medicine, and Naturopathic Medicine.
