Abstract in brief
The author emphasizes that epistemology, or how knowledge is justified, is more important than simply choosing qualitative methods, as it influences the entire research process in health equity studies.
They criticize the common uncritical use of the term "health disparities" in US public health and promote qualitative methods like photovoice and critical ethnography that focus on addressing social and structural inequalities.
The author uses a case study of HIV prevention research with Black men to illustrate how a critical health equity approach, rooted in an explicit epistemological stance, can shape more impactful and socially conscious research outcomes.]
