This is an ethnographic study of African American ethnomedical concepts for the purpose of mental health questionnaire development. The in-depth, site specific understanding of cultural phenomena provided by ethnographic methodology is one of the most important contributions of anthropology (Chambers 1987), and the desirability of ethnographic interviewing as a means of informing questionnaire development has been discussed by Bauman and Greenberg (1992). This particular study has processed in two phases. In the first phase, ethnograhpic interviews with twenty-three (23) African American respondants were conducted. These interviews probed for ethnomedical conceptulalizations of mental health. The entire Phase 1 report is included here as Appendix 1.
