A Structural Competency Framework for Emergency Medicine Research: Results from a Scoping Review and Consensus Conference.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The application of structural competency and structural vulnerability to emergency medicine (EM) research has not been previously described despite EM researchers routinely engaging structurally vulnerable populations. The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review and consensus-building process to develop a structurally competent research approach and operational framework relevant to EM research.

Methods
