摘要

In the context of substance misuse and recovery, cultural competence is a process of understanding and describing the perceptions and experiences of an individual’s drug use, addiction, and recovery modalities through the lens of their cultural background. While scholars and practitioners tend to agree that implementing culturally competent approaches is essential for substance use treatment, these approaches are inconsistently implemented. This conceptual paper draws from anthropology to present the multiple dimensions of culture and methods to describe them as a means to enhance the cultural competency of researchers and evaluators. It offers research questions and measurement tools for investigators who conduct research and evaluation in culturally diverse settings with people who use drugs. In summary, our approach aims to increase cultural competency by helping investigators avoid generalizations that perpetuate stereotypes and move toward creating more inclusive and therapeutic treatment services and public health interventions.
