There is a pressing need for prevention programs that address increasing rates of epidemics and pandemics, including noncommunicable diseases. However, many populations face substantial systemic barriers to accessing traditional prevention programs. To minimize persistent service utilization gaps for underserved populations, the field requires effective, efficient, and sustainable methods to increase accessibility and cultural relevance of prevention programming to multiple audiences. Cultural adaptation is one such strategy, but it can be daunting for many preventionists. Therefore, this paper presents a step-by-step guide to streamline the cultural adaptation of prevention programs through digitization and use of a novel application of storyboarding methodology, called "blueprint storyboarding." This innovative approach to cultural adaptation is designed to increase systematicity through manualization, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability for multiple cultures and developmental stages. We illustrate this novel method by describing how we applied the blueprint storyboarding approach after digitization to culturally adapt the JUS Media? Programme, a food-focused media literacy program designed to buffer media-related obesity risks for diverse youth.
目前迫切需要预防项目来应对不断增加的传染病和大流行病，包括非传染性疾病。然而，许多人群在获得传统预防项目方面面临着巨大的系统性障碍。为了最大限度地减少服务利用不足人群的持续差距，该领域需要有效、高效和可持续的方法，以提高预防规划对多个受众的可及性和文化相关性。文化适应是这样的策略之一，但对许多预防工作者来说可能令人生畏。因此，本文提出了一个逐步指南，通过数字化和使用故事板方法的新应用，即“蓝图故事板”，来简化预防项目的文化适应。这种创新的文化适应方法旨在通过规范化、效率、成本效益和对多种文化和发展阶段的适应性来提高系统性。我们通过描述在数字化之后如何应用蓝图故事板方法来文化适应 JUS Media？计划，来举例说明这种新颖的方法，这是一个以食品为重点的媒体素养计划，旨在缓冲不同青年的媒体相关肥胖风险。
