“….There is substantial evidence that health and health-care experiences
vary along ethnic lines and the need to understand and tackle ethnic health
inequalities has repeatedly been highlighted. Research into ethnicity and
health raises ethical, theoretical and methodological issues and, as the
volume of research in this area grows, so too do concerns regarding its
scientific rigour and reporting, and its contribution to reducing
inequalities.
****
Guidance may be helpful in encouraging researchers to adopt standard
practices in the design, conduct and reporting of research. However, past
efforts at introducing such guidance have had limited impact on research
practice, and the diversity of disciplinary perspectives on the key
challenges and solutions may undermine attempts to derive and promote
guiding principles.
****
Methods:
A consensus building Delphi exercise—the first of its kind in this area of
research practice—was undertaken with leading academics, practitioners and
policymakers from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds to assess
whether consensus on key principles could be achieved.
****
Results:
Ten key principles for conducting research on ethnicity and health emerged,
covering: the aims of research in this field; how such research should be
framed and focused; key design-related considerations; and the direction of
future research. Despite some areas of dispute, participants were united by
a common concern that the generation and application of research evidence
should contribute to better health-care experiences and health outcomes for
minority ethnic people.
****
Conclusion:
The principles provide a strong foundation to guide future
ethnicity-related research and build a broader international consensus…..”
