Full Description
This forward-thinking Research Handbook advocates for greater acknowledgment of the increasingly diverse global population in order to achieve health equity. Challenging historic practices in research, such as the blind approach to data collection, the authors assess social determinants of health and propose key strategies for researchers to work with diverse groups.
Chapters present qualitative and quantitative research processes and designs, demonstrating the importance of integrating the needs of diverse groups as the foundation of successful research projects. Contributing authors discuss the ethical concerns of research and evaluate the incorporation of cultural and linguistic competencies into various methodologies. They examine culturally inclusive research and analyze effective health research methodologies for refugees, people with disabilities, mixed ethnic groups, and immigrant populations, identifying insightful avenues for future academic research.
The Research Handbook on Health Education, Health Promotion and Diversity is an essential resource for students and academics in health education, health promotion, public health, sociology, and education. Its breadth of case studies on diverse populations will greatly benefit practitioners in public health, health education, and promotion.
