New Research 🏥 💬 @susanavaldez.bsky.social explores the use of the #vignette technique for data collection in linguistically and culturally diverse healthcare settings involving #migrants.

I'm happy to share that my paper, “Using the vignette technique to research health communication in linguistically and culturally discordant settings,” is now available online in Qualitative Health Communication! It's open access. Feel free to reach out w/ thoughts. tidsskrift.dk/qhc/article/...

This is yet another story of how migrants try daily to navigate linguistically and culturally discordant settings, and how technology—most importantly, the members of the host community—can make a difference.
