Adapting health behavior measurement tools for cross-cultural use.

Review: This paper reviews methods of assessing health behaviors, how these assessments may be affected by cross-cultural differences, and methods of adaptation of health behaviors across cultures. We describe the methods used in appropriate translation processes and pilot-testing for health behavior assessment tools. We also discuss ways to limit literacy demands and incorporate qualitative interviews.en-USAttribution 3.0 United Statescross-cultural comparisonshealth behaviorArticle
