The meaning of culturally sensitive research in mental health
LH Rogler
Hispanic Research Center, Fordham University, Bronx, NY 10458.
To answer the question of what culturally sensitive mental health research
is, the author focuses on the entire process of research. He argues that
research is made culturally sensitive through a continuing, incessant, and
open-ended series of substantive and methodological insertions and
adaptations designed to mesh the process of inquiry with the cultural
characteristics of the group being studied. Illustrations include
pretesting and planning of research, collection of data and translation of
instruments, instrumentation of measures, and analysis and interpretation
of data. The insertions and adaptations ideally have a cumulative effect in
rendering individual projects culturally sensitive and in building
culturally informed research.
