 * Delete, original research and only apparently meaningful, but ultimately uninformative: a metatheoretical framework in communication for addressing inequalities and disparities. Developed by Professor Mohan J Dutta at Purdue University, the Culture centered approach is an innovative approach to health and social change communication that suggests a pathway for engaging in participatory collaborations with marginalized communities with the goal of creating access to basic healthcare, and developing economic and communication resources for local communities that exist at the margins of mainstream healthcare. It surely uses a lot of rosy words like "participatory" and "innovative", but do they say anything? - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all of it comes from the 2008 book by Mohan Jyoti Dutta, which book doesn't meet the Notability (books) standards. I found two reviews of the book, neither served a general audience, although both were generally favorable. The concept is not a new one in health care, but apparently Dr. Dutta has provided additional insight into the analysis of cultural values held in the served population.  An article about the interface of cultural values and the provision of heath-care would be appropriate; articles such as Campinha-Bacote, J. et al. (2007) "Becoming Culturally Competent in Ethnic Psychopharmacology" Journal of Psychosocial Nursing & Mental Health Services 45(9): 26-33 and Congdon, J. et al. (2001) "Themes of rural health and aging from a program of research" Geriatric Nursing 22(5): 234-238, might begin to create a basis for such an article; but what we have here is just an advancement of a particular author's work.  The title is not a term of art, it just matches his book. --Bejnar (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
