Take-A-Village (TAV): A Metaphorical Model for Health Promotion

University of Texas at Arlington

Because of the emerging minority concept in American society, nursing in the new millennium is committed to designing culturally appropriate community health nursing models. The purpose of this article is to build one metaphorical model for health promotion inductively from substantive data obtained in a qualitative research. In one study, the take-a-village (TAV) construct was conceptualized as a kin and a social network system. TAV was born out of a popular African adage that "it takes a village to raise one single child." The TAV model emerged during the analysis phase of the study. This model-building exercise explored the tenets of the TAV construct for use in building a community health practice model for health promotion.
