我作为年轻研究者导师的经历，沿着与不同的被指导者的对话，使我质疑传统研究方法，问题表述和工具解决研究种族和少数民族的独特挑战的能力。新研究者的培训应该让他们准备好探索替代研究范式和非典型研究策略，例如以社区为基础参与性研究和Photovoice技术。非传统的研究方法可能会挑战未满足需求，不遵守治疗和服务效果差的常见解释。导师可能需要发展更广泛的理论见解，这将有助于非传统的问题制定。科学研究的教学和对研究少数民族人口的年轻研究人员的指导应该沿着不断变化的研究环境。(Am J公共卫生。2009;99：S26-S30。doi：10.2105/AJPH.2008.135996）
My experiences as a mentor of young investigators, along with conversations with a diverse pool of mentees, led me to question the ability of conventional research methods, problem formulation, and instruments to address the unique challenges of studying racial and ethnic minorities.Training of new investigators should prepare them to explore alternative research paradigms and atypical research strategies, such as community-based participatory research and Photovoice technique. Unconventional approaches to research may challenge common explanations for unmet needs, noncompliance with treatments, and poor service outcomes. Mentors may need to develop broader theoretical insights that will facilitate unconventional problem formulation.The teaching of scientific research and mentoring of young investigators who study minority populations should evolve along with the changing research environment.
