Creating a culturally safe research environment is a challenge for all researchers but particularly for researchers engaged in intercultural research. This article sets out to examine whether action theory and the research methods associated with it have the potential for creating a culturally safe environment for the conduct of research. The article will examine issues inherent in intercultural research, provide an overview of cultural safety and then draw upon data gathered from 32 parent–adolescent dyads of Indo-Canadian and Euro-Canadian background to illustrate how the research methods employed created a culturally safe environment.

Key Words: action theory • adolescent • cultural safety • family • health
