AbstractCharlottesville is a resettlement site for Liberian refugees. Many receive care at the International Family Medicine Clinic (IFMC). IFMC physicians note reduced adherence to chronic disease medications among refugee patients. This study aims to understand the Liberian refugee populations' model of chronic disease. In 2014, twelve one-on-one interviews were conducted. Topics included concept of disease, health care access, disease burden, acculturation, and socioeconomic factors. Transcripts were analyzed according to the explanatory model of disease and Krueger's framework analysis. This study can assist providers in tailoring their practices to meet the needs of refugee patients and inform future public health interventions.Copyright © 2020 National Medical Association.
