Definitely. In fact, that's what we look at when we look at patterns of coping or resilience in populations. We look at very specific cultural and contextual needs due to geography, language, cultural heritage and, of course, histories of trauma, whether it's refugees coming into the country or otherwise.
It is always a question, in a sense, of getting out of this pattern of thinking that we can solve individually focused problems. As a simple example of that, polio is going up, not because we don't have vaccines but because we don't have sociologists addressing the problems.
In other words, we need to get out of this idea that.... For instance, our Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, which funds humanities and social science research, is separate from our Canadian Institutes of Health Research, which funds all the health research. If anything, we have learned that we need to be thinking more about individual populations and their particular needs in more systemic ways.
