This book provides a practical, step-by-step, hands-on guide for social work researchers, doctoral students, and professionals who are interested in conducting culturally competent research with diverse populations and groups. This book adopts ethnography as a meta-framework for conducting culturally competent research. Since its inception as an academic discipline, anthropology has developed theories, concepts, methods, and a significant body of substantive studies for the purposes of guiding cultural research, describing cultural groups and processes, and providing data needed for cross-cultural research and theory-building. Ethnography as a meta-framework for research suggests the following components of culturally competent research: (1) A collaborative social relationship with the study group and community; (2) Use of firsthand, long-term participant observation; (3) Use of self as research instrument; (4) Researcher as learner; (5) A contextual view of phenomena; (6) A holistic perspective; (7) An interactive-reactive research process; (8) A cross-cultural frame of reference; and (9) A spirit of discovery. This pocket guide describes each phase of research incorporating these components from framing and designing the study; to data collection, management, and analysis; to final analysis and report writing; and to dissemination to a variety of audiences. Inclusion of these elements ensures that the research is conducted with and close to the lived experience of the study groups. Culturally Competent Research provides a methodological framework for developing a rigorous social work knowledge base for research in an increasingly diverse and global society. Culturally competent research will help the social work profession understand the lived experiences of diverse populations, which will in turn help to shape social work practice and policy to the benefit of all.Less

Chapter 3 discusses the requisite research necessary for designing and conducting a full-scale RCT. Preliminary efforts include assessing and negotiating within possible settings, assessing the likelihood of agency/provider cooperation and level of engagement, gauging the capability of providers in executing the interventions, determining the availability of potential study participants, and tracking the flow of participants in and out of a preliminary (pilot) research study. Other topics include: developing recruitment procedures and ways to plan for the engagement and retention of study participants, with a particular emphasis on culturally-competent recruitment. Consideration is given to the identification, modification, and development of intervention manuals, workbooks, and educational curriculum as well as methods for fidelity assessment. Particular attention is focused on planning for the design of the RCT, as well as on the importance of ensuring the feasibility of the RCT through essential pilot work and pipeline assessment.Less

Chapter 4 refines the notion of eudaimonistic health by developing the central notion of basic good health as reliably competent functioning in a given environment. Habilitative abilities, coping abilities, and agency are all central to competent functioning. And the account of basic good health, as distinct from ideal or perfect health, promises to be useful for the limited normative principles of basic justice.Less

This chapter reviews many of the central issues of concern related to youth and their experiences with political violence, and calls for expanding the scope of inquiry in order to better capture the intricacy of youth experience with political conflict. The evaluation includes coverage of both sides of the equation: assessment of both the experience with conflict and the breadth of indices of youth functioning thought to be impacted by their experiences with political violence. It discusses issues of mediation and moderation of the impact of conflict, and wrestles with how to juxtapose the evidence of both negative and positive elements of functioning in conflict youth populations. Additionally, the chapter positions subsequent chapters in the book as evidence of how to approach the intricate and complex study of these youths.Less

This chapter presents an assessment of the available evidence in the research literature on how youth experience political violence. It focuses not only in evaluating the evidence for the empirical associations between exposure and/or involvement in political violence and aspects of adolescent functioning, but in how the research literature has chosen to measure conflict experiences and youth functioning. It begins with a detailed overview of past and current quantitative, empirical efforts to study political violence and its associations with youth functioning, and provides a review of 95 qualifying studies. It argues that the current state of research remains relatively simplistic both in scope (i.e. narrow definitions of conflict and functioning) and in findings, and offers recommendations for how research on this topic could provide a better understanding of the complexities inherent in youth experiences with political violence.Less

This chapter gives a full theoretical treatment to the often invoked, yet inadequately validated presumption that violence exposure leads to violent or aggressive development in children. It outlines the variety of potential child, family, and social factors that inform if and when aggression in war-exposed children is likely to develop. Suggestions for future research and interventions are provided; namely, that research and interventions among “war's children and adolescents” will benefit from integrative approaches that combine individual, familial, and social antecedents of aggression. Furthermore, interventions are more likely to be effective if they are developmentally tailored and focused comprehensively on addressing deficiencies in cognitive, emotional and psychophysiological processing of violent experiences.Less

Neuroimmune interactions have been described extensively in the central nervous system. Commonly, such interactions refer to the effects of compounds released from immune-competent cells upon central neurones or vice versa. The concept of an interrelation between peripheral sensory nerves and immune cells is relatively novel. Similarly to the situation in the central nervous system, mutual interactions may take place, that is, substances released from peripheral nerves may act on immune cells or vice versa. Effects resulting therefrom include immunomodulation and pro- or antiinflammatory, hyperalgesic or analgesic phenomena. This chapter is divided into two main parts, the first part covering substances released from peripheral neurones and the second part covering substances derived from immune cells. The focus is on functional studies examining the crosstalk between cells of the immune system and peripheral sensory nerves.Less

This chapter analyzes the ways in which potential cases for prosecution are pared down in organizational handling, and suggests some of the pressures moulding the number and choice of cases to be prosecuted. When serious or persistent cases are dealt with as potential prosecution cases, organizational values intrude themselves upon judgements made in the field. One such value is the posture of invincibility, which the agency seeks to maintain when putting its behaviour on display in the courtroom, for it is this which makes the agencies credible as legal authorities. The implication of this concern for senior staff's decisions about cases to take to court is that the question they address is not whether there is a prima-facie case, but whether there is a certainty of conviction, illustrating the proposition that the ‘rational component of formal organization avoids the fortuitous, the random, and the contingen…’. Though a strict liability law is intended to facilitate prosecution by dispensing with the need for evidence about the state of mind of the accused, the need for a competent vindication of the agency's authority means that it will never risk going to court with a prosecution that might be lost.Less

This chapter explains the need for cultural competency in our growing diverse society. Noting that diversity is not limited to ethnic or racial domains, it defines diversity thoroughly and provide examples. It defines what is culturally competent research and what is not. The authors present a cultural competency continuum that shows at one end “cultural destructiveness” and at the other end “cultural proficiency.” The chapter concludes by identifying and discussing a 5-component framework for conducting culturally competent research: valuing diversity, conducting cultural self-assessment, managing the dynamics of difference, acquiring and integrating cultural knowledge, and adapting to diversity and cultural contexts.Less

In chapter 2 the terms “culture” and “cultural knowledge” are examined. The term “culture” has been defined in hundreds of ways and each definition has implications for conducting cultural research. Having an appropriate definition is critical because it will allow social work researchers to ask the most appropriate questions, design the most successful research study, select the most relevant data and research techniques, perform the most penetrating analyses and interpretations, and prepare the most relevant findings for various audiences—that is, to conduct culturally competent research. An historical overview provides a context for understanding the connections and influences the various concepts of culture have had on research. An appropriate definition for culturally competent social work research, is provided, pointing out its essential characteristics. In addition, some conceptual tools for guiding cultural research are discussed. The chapter concludes with a brief presentation of the methodological framework used in the design of culturally competent social work research described in subsequent chapters.Less

This chapter discusses issues pertaining to research design and implementation of a culturally competent study from an ethnographic perspective. An ethnographic approach embraces a wide range of research designs that are appropriate and effective in answering research questions. Research design begins with framing the study; developing research questions; selecting culturally appropriate research strategies, tools, and techniques; and considering the most relevant sampling strategies. Culturally competent implementation of research requires active and ongoing interaction, engagement, and consultation with key members of the study group including gaining access to research participants and the research community and collecting data. An ethnographic approach requires flexibility on the part of the researcher to adjust the study to the newly unfolding field situation or discovered knowledge and understandings of the cultural group or phenomenon under investigation.Less

The concluding chapter summarizes the key issues related to culturally competent research in social work. It highlights the current challenges of culturally competent social work research including the cultural assumptions and beliefs of the researcher; the various conceptualizations of cultural competence by the social work profession; the growing and increasing complexity of our society; and the fact that culture is dynamic, fluid, and evolving—all of which are further impacted by globalization. Albeit challenging, the social work profession is making inroads toward cultural competence. The chapter also describes useful indicators that benchmark culturally competent research.Less

British diplomats were, first and foremost, watchers and their dispatches were dominated by the health and doings of the king, his ministers, and the fortunes of factions and favourites at court. This chapter reports the instances of support for, or protest against, royal policies, both foreign and domestic, in addition to confrontations between major interest groups in the state, most notably the clergy, the military, the nobility and, occasionally, other corporate groups. Competent diplomacy therefore involved the maintenance of cordial communications and active diplomacy was devoted to the improvement of relations between states. Much has been made of the congress system's failings and its introduction affected diplomatic practice in important ways. In the process of doing so, the attention of the corps began to shift away from the doings of royals and nobles towards the public in its various manifestations.Less
