Cultural Appropriateness in Health Communication: A Review and A Revised Framework.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A revised framework for cultural appropriateness is offered on the basis of a systematic review of operationalizations in 44 cancer screening interventions for Asian Americans. Studies commonly conveyed the epidemiological bases of the intervention (97.7%) and used the language of the population (95.5%). Less commonly reported were strategies central to health communication: cultural features of the intervention messages (77.3%) and the cultural beliefs and values that the intervention focused on (43.2%). Few used cultural tailoring (4.5%) and none aimed to address acculturation or cultural identity. The theoretical framework most frequently used was the health belief model (27.3%) which does not explain the role of culture. More studies focused on cultural barriers (20.5%) than cultural strengths (9.1%). Our revised framework comprises six cultural appropriateness strategies of cultural identity, linguistic, perceptual features, content, constituent-involving, and socioeconomic context-adaptive. It prioritizes cultural identity to recognize the dynamics within racial ethnic groups and to inform adaptive efforts for cultural appropriateness. It emphasizes examining cultural strengths that can facilitate change, as well as reducing cultural barriers. Future research and action should address the disparities in extant health disparities research in which theory and methods are underdeveloped and underutilized for Asian Americans.
