Abstract
In recent decades, great strides have been made globally in decreasing child mortality.
However, given that many countries still do not have basic healthcare, additional
emphasis is being placed on health promotion activities among industrialized nations.
As cultural differences of individual countries impact these health promotion practices,
the cultural characteristics influencing children and families in two countries, South
Korea and the United States, were compared. Major child health risk factors were examined,
and health retention strategies tailored to the cultural characteristics and needs
of the populations of each country are proposed, using the Neuman Systems Model as
a guideline.
