Guidance on Performing Focused Ethnographies with an Emphasis on Healthcare Research
Focused ethnographies can have meaningful and useful application in primary care, community, or hospital healthcare practice, and are often used to determine ways to improve care and care processes. They can be pragmatic and efficient ways to capture data on a specific topic of importance to individual clinicians or clinical specialties. While many examples of focused ethnographies are available in the literature, there is a limited availability …
Developing Culturally Sensitive Skills in Health and Social Care with a Focus on Conducting Research with African Caribbean Communities in England

The aim of this paper is to explore how researchers might integrate culturally sensitive research skills into their work. This paper draws on our own experiences of conducting research with African Caribbean communities in England, and from workshops we facilitated with resear…

Contributions and challenges of cross-national comparative research in migration, ethnicity and health
In view of these pros and cons, the paper encourages researchers to reflect more on the rationale for, feasibility and likely contribution of proposed cross-national comparative research that engages with migration, ethnicity and health and suggests some principles that could support such reflection
Can the quality of social research on ethnicity be improved through the introduction of guidance? Findings from a research commissioning pilot exercise
As the volume of UK social research addressing ethnicity grows, so too do concerns regarding the ethical and scientific rigour of this research domain and its potential to do more harm than good. The establishment of standards and principles and the introduction of guidance documents at critical points within the research cycle might be one way to enhance the quality of such research. This article reports the findings from the piloting of a guida…
Ethnicity, Policy and Teenage Parenthood in England
Ethnicity and racialised identity have been salient themes in USA research and policy on teenage parenthood, in contrast with the UK context. This article presents findings from interviews with professionals in support services for young parents, with three main conclusions.

Pressure of life
Hypertension is a common condition which disproportionately affects African Caribbean people in England, yet this experience is rarely reported in the literature.

This paper explores the meaning and consequences of hypertension for African Caribbean people res…
Breast-Feeding Experiences of Women of African Heritage in the United Kingdom
This article explores the breast-feeding experiences of women of African descent in the United Kingdom. Although there is a limited evidence base that describes the breast-feeding experiences of these women, the small number of studies on this topic suggest that a tradition of breast-feeding exists within African communities in the United Kingdom. Cultural materialism is adopted as a theoretical framework to explore the sociocultural influences o…
