Development of the cultural tailoring score (CTS): a scoring instrument to assess cultural tailoring of health messaging by Claudia Parvanta, Kayleigh Murray, Samantha Boddupalli, Natalie Erasme, Rheese McNab, Vijay Prajapati, Arabel Severe, Aura Reyes, Richard Harner, Rhonda Holliday

“…It is based on research demonstrating the importance of: (1) Levels of engagement of the intended audience in the production, (2) use of understandable and culturally meaningful language, incorporation of (3) surface cultural cues and (4) deeper cultural constructs, (5) presence of a narrative to bind the information and cultural elements into a relatable story, and (6) factors associated with concrete psychological construal level (“now,” “here,” “you”).Methods We document a trial of the cultural tailoring score conducted by graduate students identifying as Filipino, Haitian, or Hispanic/Latinx reviewing 17 ads promoting COVID-19 vaccine that had been pretested during the pandemic for perceived effectiveness with convenience samples of these same ethnic groups.Results We achieved a combined Spearman’s Rank Correlation rho of 0.45 between the cultural tailoring score and perceived effectiveness ranking of all 17 ads (individual cultural groupings range from Spearman’s rho 0.45 to 0.90), suggesting that cultural components were moderately to strongly associated with perceived effectiveness. …”
