REVIEWS Self-Administered Instruments to Measure Cultural Competence of Health Professionals: A Systematic Review

Review The titles and abstracts of all identified articles were reviewed by two study investigators. We excluded articles that were not written in English, published before 1980, did not include human data or original data, did not have a full article available for review, were not relevant to minority health, did not have a cultural competence intervention, did not target health care providers or organizations, had no evaluation of cultural competence, were duplicates of another abstract, or did not apply to any of the study questions. Paired reviewers independently assessed whether the abstracts were eligible for full article review. Citations were returned for adjudication if the two reviewers disagreed on article eligibility. Reviewers were instructed to err on the side of abstract inclusion. However, if the article title and abstract did not provide sufficient information, the full article was retrieved for review.
