To the Editor: We refer to Liaw and colleagues’1 recently published study in the Journal. We acknowledge the positive intentions and rigour of this trial, and empathically concur with Thompson and Thackrah's2 comment that the results of this research “[do] not mean that efforts to improve cultural competence in health care settings should be abandoned”. To the contrary, this study demonstrates the urgent need for more research to improve cultural competence in the health care setting; in particular, the use of culturally safe research methods that truly benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.3To the Editor: We refer to Liaw and colleagues’1 recently published study in the Journal.
