Research methods and dissemination and implementation frameworks with antiracism lens

Considerations Descriptions
Nationally available framework National Institutes on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) research framework (102).
This framework provides an invaluable visual depiction of the numerous and complex levels and domains that influence the health of historically minoritized populations. We recommend that researchers use the NIMHD framework to thoroughly reflect on the necessary components that should be included in their intervention and evaluation approaches.
Research frameworks that embed critical race theory Public Health Critical Race Framework (120, 121) and Healing ARC (122, 123).
These frameworks are vital for research interventions at the institution level because they center on medical restitution and guide researchers to move beyond typical, indirect interventions such as bias training. The Healing ARC—acknowledgment, redress, and closure—is a pragmatic framework for addressing institutional racial inequities in health care delivery and treatment.
Research frameworks that consider context Health Equity Implementation Framework and race(ism) Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) (124).
This framework uses the Public Health Critical Race Praxis to adapt CFIR to delineate how health equity may be concomitantly assessed and addressed in planning the implementation of an evidence-based intervention.
Exploration Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework (125127).
This framework describes the phases of and factors that lead to implementation intervention. It can be expanded to examine the intersectional lens of racism and sexism.
Qualitative design Qualitative research and study designs used by other disciplines (e.g., public health and sociology) provide foundational work, including qualitative and focus group work, that helps identify problems with the intervention that can be disseminated and implemented.
