The incorporation of cultural and linguistic competency and health literacy into research methodologies

Manal Samaha and Nesreen Gusbi

Chapter 10 in Research Handbook on Health Education, Health Promotion and Diversity, 2025, pp 131-149 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The term culture is an abstract, ever-evolving, and holistic term which its underlying concepts can define. The quest for new knowledge from standard research methodologies does not fully consider culture or the collective concepts that comprise the term. A definition based on these concepts can further help us understand human behavior. For the researcher to obtain an acceptable standard of cultural competency, and when conducting research among diverse populations, the researcher must thoroughly understand the conceptual and operational use of their definition of culture.
