While qualitative inquiry has been a part of the Canadian Journal of Public Health (CJPH) for many years, CJPH does not yet have the reputation as a home for qualitative research that has a critical focus and that is cqqqonversant with contemporary developments in social theory and qualitative methodology. This paper describes efforts to establish CJPH as a welcoming home for critical, theoretically engaged qualitative research in public health. The paper introduces the Special Section that heralds the forward vision for qualitative research at CJPH. We specify what we mean by critical, theoretically engaged qualitative research and make the case for its significance for public health research and practice. We describe changes made in how qualitative manuscript submissions are handled at CJPH and highlight the contribution to public health scholarship made by the articles that comprise the Special Section. We issue an invitation to the public health community to support and participate in our vision to enhance critical, theoretically informed qualitative research in public health.
虽然定性研究多年来一直是《加拿大公共卫生杂志》（CJPH）的一部分，但 CJPH 尚未因其具有批判性焦点且熟悉社会理论和定性方法学当代发展的定性研究而享有盛誉。本文描述了为将 CJPH 确立为欢迎批判性、理论性参与的公共卫生定性研究的家园所做的努力。本文介绍了预示着 CJPH 定性研究前瞻性愿景的特刊。我们具体说明了我们所说的批判性、理论性参与的定性研究的含义，并为其对公共卫生研究和实践的重要性提出了理由。我们描述了在 CJPH 处理定性稿件提交方面所做的更改，并强调了特刊中包含的文章对公共卫生学术的贡献。我们向公共卫生界发出邀请，支持并参与我们的愿景，以加强公共卫生中的批判性、理论性的定性研究。
