Dialogical reflexivity towards collective action to transform global health

Global mental health research and practice: a decolonial approach

“…12 However, this discussion has been largely driven by the USA and Europe and characterised by an absence of pragmatic approaches, which has led some researchers to question individual and institutional motivations and commitment to the decolonial rhetoric on system transformation. 18,21 Despite this situation, there is some evidence that suggests that specific decolonial practices are growing. Examples include the imple mentation of dialogical reflex ivity (the continuous process of selfpositioning and understanding and dialogue with peers to move from insight to action) 21 or the application of broader strategies, such as the pragmatic or socalled common sense approach, 19 to challenge organisational and institutional manifestations of coloniality.…”

These approaches share the understanding that, to address the coloniality of global mental health and for equitable research collaborations to occur, institutions and individuals with power need to find ways to relinquish, and ultimately give up, their power.…”

“…Although these experiences shape our engagement in global mental health research, we do not speak for, or in the name of, any of these diverse groups. Our intention is to share our ongoing learning experiences, perspectives, and practices within the context of HEROES, including our open group discussions regarding patterns of privilege and oppression within the team (which usually occur within our team meeting and subworking groups in an organic manner), 21 as well as to use our own privileges responsibly to redistribute power 22 and con tribute to dismantling the coloniality of global mental health. We will discuss our team's approach for engaging in this specific decolonial global mental health research practice, based on justice, solidarity, and equitable collaboration.…”

The Integration of Primary Care and Public Health in Medical Students’ Training Based on Social Accountability and Community-Engaged Medical Education

“…We recognized potential bias during data collection and analysis from the role of interviewers and some of the study participants as faculty members or students at the school. Three virtual meetings for reflexivity sessions [ 35 ] with other collaborators (AF, female, Dipl-Pol, PhD; HL, male, MD, MBA, PhD) who were external to the school provided space for constructive exchanges on identified themes and for challenging potential biases in data interpretation. Illustrative quotes from the transcripts were selected to highlight study themes.…”

Cocreation in Health Workforce Planning to Shape the Future of the Health Care System in the Philippines

“…The ideal cocreation model would require involvement from all levels of the health care system with an orientation to be as inclusive of all voices as possible. 46 However, an expanded cocreation process must also consider how to manage potentially conflicting views from various stakeholders. Future research in this area could investigate what configurations of cocreation have proven successful in addressing health care system challenges.…”
