Contemporary research practices link to colonial and imperialist knowledge creation and production and may promote harmful perspectives on marginalized and oppressed groups. We present a framework for a decolonial approach to research in global health and health promotion applicable across research settings. This framework is aimed at anticipating and alleviating potentially harmful practices inherent in dominant research methods. The framework focuses from a macro- and micro-level perspective on three critical dyads: ‘context’ and ‘accountability’; ‘researcher identity’ and ‘positionality’; and ‘procedural ethics’ and ‘ethics in practice’ considerations. We present guidance for how to consider reflexivity and positionality as they apply in this framework in global health and health promotion research practice.
