Rationale: With the advent of technology and widespread mobility, less emphasis has been placed on the cohesiveness of the family in the Northern European American culture. Data on marriage, divorce, and remarriage in the United States show that about half of first marriages end in divorce. Northern European Americans, particularly those who achieve middle-class socioeconomic status, value preventive medicine and primary health care. Punctuality and efficiency are highly valued in the culture that promoted the work ethic, and most within this cultural group tend to be future oriented. A typical diet for many Northern European Americans is high in fats and cholesterol and low in fiber.
