Promises and challenges of cultural exchange for use of research evidence in child welfare

Le résumé fourni par la source

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.
