“The main goal of the Cultural Competence Research Agenda Project is to produce and disseminate to key stakeholders a research agenda on the relationship between cultural competence interventions and health care delivery and health outcomes. This goal has been accomplished through completion of the following tasks: – Developing a working consensus on the parameters and specifics of cultural competence interventions for the purposes of conducting health care delivery and health outcomes research. – Collecting, reviewing and making available to the public abstracts of published, unpublished, and in-progress research on cultural competence. – Identifying key research questions on cultural competence that have been the subject of research, and describing the strengths and limitations of this research. – Identifying key research questions on cultural competence that have yet to be studied. – Identifying issues related to study design, potential data sources and study sites. – Identifying larger contextual issues related to cultural competence research: how to interest potential researchers, linking content experts with research experts, researcher collaboration/networking, funding for research, publication, and how to involve and gain the support of research stakeholders (providers, policymakers, consumers) in the identification and utilization of research findings.” – Publisher’s description
