The purpose of this project is to generate new knowledge that will foster understanding of what constitutes safe nursing care in acute care settings for people who are experiencing problematic substance use and social disadvantage.

The key research question is: What is culturally safe care from the perspective of patients and nurses in acute care settings and what supports the delivery of culturally safe care?
