“…In our review, we identified 25 quantitative reviews or meta-analyses that included statistical analyses of cultural adaptations within the last decade (Table 1 in the supplement). Twelve of these were concerned with mental health or psychopathology (Akarsu et al, 2019;Anik et al, 2021;Arundell et al, 2021;, five analyses specifically considered the effectiveness of cultural adaptations of parenting interventions Lim et al, 2023;, four on substance use , one focused on HIV prevention , one on socio-emotional learning (H. and one on generic behavioral and cognitive variables . Of these meta-analytic summaries, seventeen explicitly focused on interventions with historically marginalized communities.…”

“…Particular attention should be given to variability in responses by different community members, because these may highlight hidden diversity in the population that may be missed by focusing on the communalities. Within the work on refugees and migrants, a core concern is the extent of acculturation to the host culture (Lim et al, 2023;. It is also useful to consider the broader economic, institutional, and social conditions beyond just cultural beliefs or values.…”

We introduce the bias and equivalence framework to highlight how concepts, methods, and tools from cultural psychology can contribute to successful cultural adaptation and implementation of behavioral interventions. To situate our contribution, we provide a review of recent cultural adaptation research and existing frameworks. We identified 68 different frameworks that have been cited when reporting cultural adaptations and highlight three major adaptation dimensions that can be used to differentiate adaptations. Regarding effectiveness, we found an average effect size of z¬r = .24 (95%CI .20, 29) in 24 meta-analyses published since 2014, but also substantive differences across domains and unclear effects of the extent of cultural adaptations. To advance cultural adaptation efforts, we outline a framework that integrates key steps from previous cultural adaptation frameworks and highlight how cultural bias and equivalence considerations in conjunction with community engagement help a) in the diagnosis of behavioral or psychological problems, b) identification of possible interventions, c) the selection of specific mechanisms of behavior change, d) the specification and documentation of dose effects and thresholds for diagnosis, e) entry and exit points within intervention programs, and f) cost-benefit-sustainability discussions. We provide guiding questions that may help researchers when adapting interventions to novel cultural contexts.
