One significant barrier in health related to culture is the role of money. Financial constraints can limit access to necessary health resources, such as medical care, preventive services, and health education. In many cultural contexts, individuals may prioritize spending in line with their immediate needs or cultural values over healthcare expenses. This can lead to a lack of access to essential services, resulting in poorer health outcomes within certain cultural groups that may already face socioeconomic challenges.

While other factors like education or technology can also pose barriers to health, they typically stem from or are exacerbated by economic conditions. For example, lack of financial resources can lead to limited educational opportunities about health, or restrict access to technology that might facilitate health communication and access to care. Weather is generally not considered a cultural barrier in health contexts; rather, it is more related to environmental or geographical factors.
