在这篇文章中，我们讨论了文化剪裁（CT）的重要性，以课堂为基础的预防课程，以确保其相关性，并增加他们的接受，种族和少数民族的青少年人口。在回顾相关文献之后，我们发展了一个CT的综合模型，将这种适应概念化为“表面/外围”、“深层结构/社会文化”和“证据”，并将第一种适应细分为“语言”和“图像”。然后，我们描述了这种模型的应用后，以适应特定的酒精使用预防课程，“保护你/保护我”，以提高其适用于青年在内布拉斯加州的三个美国印第安部落的结果。最后，我们讨论了我们开发的CT模型的充分性，以及其他课程在这一过程中的潜在挑战和好处。
In this article we discuss the importance of the cultural tailoring (CT) of classroom-based prevention curricula to ensure their relevance to, and increase their receptivity by, racial and ethnic minority adolescent populations. Following a review of the pertinent literature, we develop an integrated model of CT that conceptualizes such adaptations into "superficial/peripheral," "deep structure/sociocultural," and "evidential," and subclassifies the first of these into "language" and "images." We then describe the results of the application of this model post hoc to the adaptation of a specific alcohol use prevention curriculum, "Protecting You/Protecting Me," to enhance its suitability for youth in three American Indian tribes in Nebraska. We conclude with a discussion of the adequacy of the model of CT we developed and the potential challenges and benefits of subjecting other curricula to this process.
