Applying Critical Discourse Analysis to Cross-Cultural Mental Health Recovery Research

Applying Critical Discourse Analysis to Cross-Cultural Mental Health Recovery Research

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is a qualitative analytical approach that critically appraises how language contributes to the production and reproduction of social inequalities through the examination of authentic uses of language [1,2]. CDA considers that linguistic expressions reflect the speakers’ and writers’ conscious or unconscious perceptions or opinions towards phenomena [1,2].

Exploring How Patients Are Supported to Use Online Services in Primary Care in England Through “Digital Facilitation”: Survey Study

Exploring How Patients Are Supported to Use Online Services in Primary Care in England Through “Digital Facilitation”: Survey Study

Recent reports have focused on inequalities in accessing health services within the NHS from ethnic minority and other groups [35,36]. Perhaps surprisingly, in our study, ethnic minority individuals and those for whom English was not their first language were more likely to report engagement with, or being engaged in, digital facilitation. Being in receipt of repeat prescriptions was also associated with such engagement.

IT and the Quality and Efficiency of Mental Health Care in a Time of COVID-19: Case Study of Mental Health Providers in England

One of the benefits of remote consultation is its potential to overcome geographic barriers (the friction of distance), allowing access to populations in remote locations with serious accessibility problems, thereby reducing inequalities. However, a serious disadvantage is the potential for digital exclusion among vulnerable and disadvantaged population groups [1,10,11,18,21].

COVID-19 and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic Communities: A Complex Relationship Without Just Cause

COVID-19 and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic Communities: A Complex Relationship Without Just Cause

The PHE report of 2020 [22] asserts that this pandemic did not generate health inequalities but merely exposed and exacerbated the longstanding health and socioeconomic inequalities affecting BAME communities in the United Kingdom. Although this statement might hold true, perceptions of the underlying causal relationships vary greatly and are difficult to unravel [7]. Compared to the United Kingdom, hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased in the United States [25].

eHealth Communication With Clients at Community-Based HIV/AIDS Service Organizations in the Southern United States: Cross-Sectional Survey

More research is needed to better understand how to build the capacity of community-based HIV/AIDS service organizations and their staff to help their clients overcome communication inequalities that have the potential to negatively affect HIV/AIDS-related outcomes in these vulnerable populations. The current pandemic is a prime example of how e Health communication tools can be used to improve health outcomes along the HIV care continuum.

Combining Nonclinical Determinants of Health and Clinical Data for Research and Evaluation: Rapid Review

Combining Nonclinical Determinants of Health and Clinical Data for Research and Evaluation: Rapid Review

For example, individuals and families have differing sources of income, such as salary versus investment, overall income fails to account for expenditures, and how income varies from others in society (ie, inequalities) may have stronger relationships with the health outcome of interest [217-219]. This review has several limitations.

Inequalities in the Use of eHealth Between Socioeconomic Groups Among Patients With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes: Cross-Sectional Study

Despite a relatively high average standard of living, all European countries still have substantial inequalities in health outcomes among socioeconomic groups, as affluent groups have better somatic and mental health and lower mortality than disadvantaged groups [14]. Relative health differences between the highest and lowest socioeconomic groups in Norway even rank among the highest in Europe [14].
