Dear all

Agree re Alison's excellent bibliographies, that are useful on so many
occasions!  The day I meet her is one I look forward to!

I am so pleased this list is talking about researching WITH Black and
minority ethnic groups rather than missing out the 'with.'  To this end,
allow me to plug the Centre for Ethnicity abnd Health's Community Engagement
reports:  community engagement avoids the 'parachuting' method of research
that leaves nothing behind in the community.  The following reports are
available electronically in pdf files or as hard copies from

There is an increasing body of research on 'researching with BME' groups. I
obviously commend my oww stuff, as well as Alison Devlin's excellent
collected bibliography!! Try the following also:

Social Work and Minorities: European Perspectives Routledge 1998 (Eds:
Charlotte Williams, Haluk Soydan, Mark R D Johnson)

(chapters in it)

(Eds) Dooher J, Byrt R Empowerment and Participation: Power, influence and
control in contemporary healthcare Quay Books (Mark Allen) (2002) (Volumes
1: and 2)

'Research Governance and Diversity: Quality standards for a multi-ethnic NHS
' NT Research 8,1 :2-10, 2003 (by me)

re Cancer and palliative care specifically, we (I and colleagues) also
produced a report for Birmingham and Macmillan which was never published as
NHS re-organisation got in the way:

Improving Palliative Care for Minority Ethnic Communities in Birmingham A
Report for Birmingham Specialist Community Health NHS Trust and Macmillan
Cancer Relief (MRD Johnson with Jas Bains, Jay Chauhan, Babra Saleem,
Richard Tomlins) April 2001
