Abstract This paper builds upon insights from a programme of research on culture and health that is informed by critical theoretical perspectives. The evidence generated through this research programme is drawn upon to critically examine the assumptions about the prevailing understandings of the links between culture, health, and health inequalities and to illustrate the need for new paradigms of practice. Using the case of children at risk because of their social, cultural, and material circumstances, the tenets of an alternative model of health care practice, the RICH-ER (Responsive, Intersectoral-Interdisciplinary, Child Health – Education and Research) model was introduced and studied.
