The NKI Cultural Competency Assessment Scale measures organizational CC in mental health outpatient settings. We describe its development and results of tests of its psychometric properties. When tested in 27 public mental health settings, factor analysis discerned three factors explaining 65% of the variance; each factor related to a stage of implementation of CC. Construct validity and inter-rater reliability were satisfactory. In tests of predictive validity, higher scores on items related to linguistic and service accommodations predicted a reduction in service disparities for engagement and retention outcomes for Hispanics. Disparities for Blacks essentially persisted independent of CC scores.
NKI 文化能力评估量表测量心理健康门诊环境中的组织文化能力。我们描述了其发展过程和心理测量学特性测试的结果。在 27 个公共心理健康机构中进行测试时，因子分析发现了三个因素，可解释 65%的方差；每个因素都与文化能力实施的一个阶段有关。结构有效性和评分者间信度令人满意。在预测有效性测试中，与语言和服务适应相关的项目得分较高，预示着西班牙裔患者在参与和保留方面的服务差距减少。文化能力评分并不能改变黑人患者的差异。
