“…Over the past decade, the cultural adaptation of EBIs has been recognized as essential for effective EBI dissemination and implementation within diverse ethnocultural communities ( 3 , 4 ). Unfortunately, implementation strategies have been almost non-existent that utilize cultural factors to inform the design, dissemination, adoption, implementation, adaptation, and sustainability of EBIs for effective delivery with residents from diverse ethnocultural communities ( 5 , 6 ). This paper discusses approaches in the cultural adaptation of EBIs that can be enhanced by the utilization of cultural factors.…”

“…Traditional cultural factors, the classic cultural factors often mentioned in prior Latinx social and behavioral science research literature include: (a) familismo , Latino family closeness and cohesion; (b) machismo , traditional Latinx male identity characteristics, both positive and negative; (c) personalismo , the importance of warm interpersonal relations; (d) respeto , respectful exchanges in interpersonal relations; and (e) simpatia , a deferential interpersonal style that strives to maintain harmony in interpersonal relations ( 6 , 26 ) (see Table 1 ). Cultural factors also include constructs that describe the process of cultural change among immigrants and others during the process of acculturation ( 27 ).…”

“…Table 1 presents important cultural factors mentioned as pan-cultural (multiethnic), and those that are specific to Latinx communities. Castro and Kessler describe other cultural factors of importance within major ethnocultural communities in the US: African American/Black, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Native American/American Indian, and other ethnocultural groups ( 6 ).…”

IntroductionCultural factors are constructs that capture important life experiences of Latinx/Hispanic individuals, families, and communities. Despite their importance for Latinx communities, Latinx cultural factors have yet to be fully incorporated into the literature of many social, behavioral science, and health service fields, including implementation science. This significant gap in the literature has limited in-depth assessments and a more complete understanding of the cultural life experiences of diverse Latinx community residents. This gap has also stifled the cultural adaptation, dissemination, and implementation of evidence based interventions (EBIs). Addressing this gap can inform the design, dissemination, adoption, implementation, and sustainability of EBIs developed to serve Latinx and other ethnocultural groups.MethodsBased on a prior Framework Synthesis systematic review of Latinx stress-coping research for the years 2000–2020, our research team conducted a thematic analysis to identify salient Latinx cultural factors in this research field. This thematic analysis examined the Discussion sections of 60 quality empirical journal articles previously included into this prior Framework Synthesis literature review. In Part 1, our team conducted an exploratory analysis of potential Latinx cultural factors mentioned in these Discussion sections. In Part 2 we conducted a confirmatory analysis using NVivo 12 for a rigorous confirmatory thematic analysis.ResultsThis procedure identified 13 salient Latinx cultural factors mentioned frequently in quality empirical research within the field of Latinx stress-coping research during the years 2000–2020.DiscussionWe defined and examined how these salient Latinx cultural factors can be incorporated into intervention implementation strategies and can be expanded to facilitate EBI implementation within diverse Latinx community settings.

As commissioned by the Society for Prevention Research, this paper describes and illustrates strategic approaches for reducing health inequities and advancing health equity when adopting an equity-focused approach for applying prevention science evidence-based theory, methodologies, and practices. We introduce an ecosystemic framework as a guide for analyzing, designing, and planning innovative equity-focused evidence-based preventive interventions designed to attain intended health equity outcomes. To advance this process, we introduce a health equity statement for conducting integrative analyses of ecosystemic framework pathways, by describing the role of social determinants, mechanisms, and interventions as factors directly linked to specific health equity outcomes. As background, we present health equity constructs, theories, and research evidence which can inform the design and development of equity-focused intervention approaches. We also describe multi-level interventions that when coordinated can produce synergistic intervention effects across macro, meso, and micro ecological levels. Under this approach, we encourage prevention and implementation scientists to apply and extend these strategic directions in future research to increase our evidence-based knowledge and theory building. A general goal is to apply prevention science knowledge to design, widely disseminate, and implement culturally grounded interventions that incrementally attain specific HE outcomes and an intended HE goal. We conclude with recommendations for conducting equity-focused prevention science research, interventions, and training.
