When it comes to conflicts of interest, we take the stance that it’s impossible not to have conflicted interests. Every human has a point of view. While some aspects of research and inquiry can minimize researcher bias, Factual Wellness is firmly in favor of justice, equity, autonomy, and inclusion for all.
In qualitative research, the concept of “researcher bias” is frequently debated. No matter how hard a researcher tries, they can never truly separate themselves from their own lived experience or create a blank slate from which to engage the world.
Factual Wellness believes that efforts to sanitize society from differences and discomfort are tenets of ableism.
This publication does not seek perspective neutrality but radical candor, transparency, and disclosure. It will approach all research, reporting, and analysis with critical thinking, filtered through the dual lenses of disability theory and crip theory. Every person, regardless of how society perceives them, is valuable, with valid opinions, perspectives, and experiences.
This project isn't an extension of "academia" and does not speak or work for professionals in either the healthcare or wellness industry. It is a project for the people. It will boldly ask questions and pursue answers that are relevant to individual persons, not professions.
