Dear Ruth Campbell ,

Racial and ethnic minorities in Western countries experience greater adverse health outcomes, such as higher rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes and tend to receive a lower quality of care. It is recognised that patient-centred care (PCC) can help improve health outcomes and is a key dimension of high-quality care. PCC is a model of care involving patients and families in the planning, development and assessment of their care.

Assessing the cultural competence of clinicians is crucial to ensure effective and sensitive healthcare delivery to diverse patient populations. Here are a few commonly used measures of cultural competence for clinicians:

1. Cross-Cultural Competence Inventory (3CI): The 3CI is a self-report measure that assesses a clinician's cultural competence across four domains: cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural encounters. It includes items related to attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors relevant to providing culturally competent care.

2. Clinician Cultural Competence Assessment (CCA): The CCA is a self-assessment tool that measures clinicians' cultural competence across various dimensions, including cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skills, and cultural encounters. It evaluates the clinician's understanding of cultural influences, patient-centered care, and intercultural communication.

3. Cultural Competence Assessment Tool for Healthcare Providers (CCATHP): The CCATHP is a comprehensive self-report measure that evaluates healthcare providers' cultural competence. It covers domains such as cultural awareness, knowledge, skill, encounters, desire for cultural competence, and organizational support for cultural competence.

4. Cultural Competence Assessment Tool-Provider Version (CCAT-PV): The CCAT-PV is a 19-item self-report measure designed to assess healthcare providers' cultural competence. It examines aspects such as provider attitudes, knowledge, skills, and behaviors related to culturally competent care.

5. Campinha-Bacote's Model of Cultural Competence in Healthcare Delivery Questionnaire (CBMCCQ): This questionnaire is based on the Campinha-Bacote model, which includes five constructs of cultural competence: cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural encounters, and cultural desire. It assesses healthcare providers' self-perceived cultural competence across these domains.

When selecting a measure of cultural competence for clinicians, consider the specific goals of assessment, the intended population, and the level of detail required. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that self-report measures may have limitations, such as social desirability bias. Therefore, it can be valuable to complement self-report measures with other forms of evaluation, such as direct observation or patient feedback, to gain a comprehensive understanding of a clinician's cultural competence.
