Abstract
The articles in this special issue emphasize the evolution and impact of culturally responsive research in health settings. They illustrate the methodological shift from viewing culture through a Western-centric lens to instead critically analyzing dominant cultural "norms," intersectional identities, and the power of narratives. These contributions advocate for integrating culturally informed methods to respect all peoples' dignity and identities, aiming for more inclusive, equitable, and transformative health outcomes. The publication of this issue comes at a time when there is a global backlash against diversity, health promotion, and research, making the need for culturally responsive qualitative health even more critical. By continuing to develop and implement these methodologies, the health research community can play a crucial role in addressing and overcoming the persistent systemic and cultural inequalities in healthcare.
期刊介绍：
QUALITATIVE HEALTH RESEARCH is an international, interdisciplinary, refereed journal for the enhancement of health care and to further the development and understanding of qualitative research methods in health care settings. We welcome manuscripts in the following areas: the description and analysis of the illness experience, health and health-seeking behaviors, the experiences of caregivers, the sociocultural organization of health care, health care policy, and related topics. We also seek critical reviews and commentaries addressing conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues pertaining to qualitative enquiry.
