This introduction to the special issue overviews culture and conceptualizes how culture is defined and evolved in psychology. The authors discuss frameworks and recommendations for cultural adaptations to evidence-based interventions and some limitations to culturally adapting evidence-based interventions.
In addition to rigorous research methodology, the development and implementation of quality cultural adaptation of evidence-based behavioral interventions requires the consideration of a range of conceptual issues. We begin this resource with selected articles critically assessing key considerations. Issues raised concerning the rationale for the d...

Findings can be utilized to guide future adaptations of evidence-based interventions to ensure culturally competent research and practice. What is culturally adapting intervention? Culturally adapting intervention is one approach to reaching different cultural groups. The goals of this paper were to compile definitions of program adaptations, identify processes and steps in cultural adaptations, and pose recommendations for future research related to cultural adaptations. What are culturally adapted treatments? Specifically, culturally adapted treatments are those that focus on modifying and tailoring services for people of different backgrounds. The primary goals of cultural adaptation are to individualize treatments so that they are more culturally acceptable, congruent, and syntonic with the clients cultural values and belief systems. What are the most common cultural adaptations? Researchers found that the most common cultural adaptations were incorporating culturally relevant risk factors (e.g., discrimination), translating the spoken language of the intervention, incorporating cultural values and traditions, and incorporating culturally relevant examples, scenarios, and stories. Does cultural adaptation affect behavioral interventions in minoritized communities? A growing body of literature suggests that lack of cultural adaptation of behavioral interventions is associated with disparities in service use and poor intervention outcomes in minoritized communities (Rathod et al., 2018). Being able to adapt communication styles and therapeutic techniques to fit the cultural context of each client is crucial for promoting mental health equity. By focusing on these components, culturally responsive care aims to create a more inclusive and effective mental health treatment environment, reducing health disparities and fostering a ...
