Cultural adaptation of evidence-based interventions for children with developmental disabilities, including autism, is an effective way to increase the effectiveness and sustainment of intervention effects. Such uptake of interventions is especially needed for communities of marginalized and minoritized populations. However, there have been very limited guidelines on how to ensure quality for cultural adaptation in autism research. With this gap in mind, we present the Cultural Adaptation Checklist, which was developed in an iterative process based on the principles of implementation science with the purposes to (a) guide research on the cultural adaptation of evidence-based intervention with diverse populations, and (b) systematically appraise the quality of cultural adaptation reported in intervention literature. In this article, we describe the Checklist, the development process, and how it may guide cultural adaptation in autism research.
对包括自闭症在内的发育障碍儿童的循证干预措施进行文化调适，是提高干预效果及维持干预成效的有效途径。对于边缘化和少数族裔群体社区而言，尤其需要采用此类干预措施。然而，关于如何确保自闭症研究中文化调适质量的指导方针非常有限。考虑到这一差距，我们提出了文化调适清单，该清单是在基于实施科学原则的迭代过程中制定的，目的是：(a) 指导针对不同人群的循证干预措施的文化调适研究；(b) 系统评估干预文献中报告的文化调适质量。在本文中，我们描述了该清单、开发过程以及它如何指导自闭症研究中的文化调适。
