Incorporating research evidence within child welfare systems can improve services and health equity for vulnerable youth. Bidirectional collaboration between researchers and system-level actors may foster evidence-informed policies and programs through cultural exchange. This anthropological analysis of longitudinal qualitative data from the Community-Academic Partnership for Translational Use of Research Evidence (CAPTURE) illuminates the complexities of cultural exchange involving a child welfare system, including capacity for research use, trust, communication, and power dynamics. Successful cultural exchange for catalyzing the use of research evidence requires a multilevel approach attentive to power structures, institutions, and community perspectives. Anthropology must play a central role in critiquing power within partnerships while exploring pragmatic and ethical ways to collaborate with influential entities to implement data-driven policies and programs to enhance health equity
