“…This value-added aspect of the process was a result of being mindful of an opportunity as it was presented. Resnicow et al (2002) describe this bidirectional exchange of solutions, wisdom, and experiences as one of the benefits of cultural sensitivity.…”

“…The health promotion literature has equivalently used several terms to describe the integration of cultural norms and values into materials and programs: cultural relevance, cultural competence, cultural responsiveness, and cultural targeting (Resnicow et al, 2002). Research has demonstrated that the integration of cultural beliefs and practices into health education and intervention programs can increase participant retention rates (Kumpfer, Alvarado, Smith, & Bellamy, 2002) and program satisfaction (Williams et al, 2006).…”

“…However, theories designed to increase cultural relevance have been criticized for failing to specifically describe how programs might be tailored to meet the characteristics of participants (Reese & Vera, 2007). To overcome this, cultural sensitivity (Resnicow, Baranowski, Ahluwalia, & Braithwaite, 1999;Resnicow, Soler, Braithwaite, Ahluwalia, & Butler, 2000;Resnicow et al, 2002) is a theoretical approach that provides specific implications for tailoring health messages by advocating messages that address both surface and deep cultural structures.…”

“…Deep structure refers to values and beliefs shared by members of a population; it reflects shared cultural and historical experience (Resnicow et al, 2002). This includes aspects of culture incorporating psychosocial complexities (Reese & Vera, 2007) and integrating beliefs and practices (Nation et al, 2003).…”

“…As a result, an appropriate balance of these terms was later attained through several reviews by local readers. Surface structure is also reflected by the settings in which the intervention takes place (Resnicow et al, 2002). During the unstructured part of the focus group sessions, grandparents suggested a distribution network for the brochures.…”

Delivering Culturally Sensitive Health Messages: The Process of Adapting Brochures for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren in Hawai‘i

The efficacy of programs to reduce health disparities depends on their ability to deliver messages in a culturally sensitive manner. This article describes the process of designing a series of brochures for grandparents raising grandchildren. National source material on topics important to grandparents (self-care, service use, addiction, and grandchildren's difficult behaviors) was put into draft brochures and pilot tested in two focus groups drawn from Native Hawaiian Asian and Pacific Islander populations. Elements of surface and deep levels directed the form and content of the final brochures. On a surface level, these brochures reflect local culture through pictures and language. On a deep level, which integrates cultural beliefs and practices, they reflect the importance of indirect communication and harmonious relationships. The final brochures have been received favorably in the community. The process of adapting educational material with attention to surface and deep levels can serve as a guide for other health promotion materials.

Systems thinking and complexity: considerations for health promoting schools

Health Promot. Int.

The health promoting schools concept reflects a comprehensive and integrated philosophy to improving student and personnel health and well-being. Conceptualized as a configuration of interacting, interdependent parts connected through a web of relationships that form a whole greater than the sum of its parts, school health promotion initiatives often target several levels (e.g. individual, professional, procedural and policy) simultaneously. Health promoting initiatives, such as those operationalized under the whole school approach, include several interconnected components that are coordinated to improve health outcomes in complex settings. These complex systems interventions are embedded in intricate arrangements of physical, biological, ecological, social, political and organizational relationships. Systems thinking and characteristics of complex adaptive systems are introduced in this article to provide a perspective that emphasizes the patterns of inter-relationships associated with the nonlinear, dynamic and adaptive nature of complex hierarchical systems. Four systems thinking areas: knowledge, networks, models and organizing are explored as a means to further manage the complex nature of the development and sustainability of health promoting schools. Applying systems thinking and insights about complex adaptive systems can illuminate how to address challenges found in settings with both complicated (i.e. multi-level and multisite) and complex aspects (i.e. synergistic processes and emergent outcomes).

Predictors of Retention in an Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Prevention Study

This article explored retention patterns, as well as factors that predicted these patterns, in the evaluation of a relationship-based substance abuse prevention intervention study that targeted inner-city African American youth. A total of 851 contacts were made to retain 82% (n = 104) of the baseline sample (N = 127) in the evaluation. Results from multinomial regression analyses indicated that participants who were retained in the evaluation were more likely to perceive alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use as less risky and were more likely to report higher levels of family supervision than were evaluation attrits. Those who were easy to retain reported lower family conflict and fewer family relocations during the past year than those who were difficult to retain. Implications of these findings for developing retention strategies, as well as future research, are discussed.
