CULTURAL COMPETENCE
The Cultural Competence Checklist, available here, is a tool for use by investigators who want to know if their studies' designs are culturally competent. The tool is adapted from Porter and Villarruel's "Nursing Research with African American and Hispanic People: Guidelines for Action" from a 1993 Nursing Outlook issue.
