Abstract:
This article calls for a closer examination of health equity regarding the disparities and inequities in health care among marginalized and vulnerable populations. A review of strategies to improve culturally responsive care to these populations will be examined. This examination includes a discussion of the need for structural competence and the ongoing debate around the concepts of cultural competence and cultural humility. Cultural competemility, a new paradigm of thought regarding the relationship between cultural competence and cultural humility, will be proposed. This article culminates with downstream, midstream, and upstream approaches reducing the magnitude of inequity among marginalized and vulnerable populations.
