No / To develop a culturally sensitive occupation-based health promotion
intervention for older Hispanic adults who live alone. Methods: We used a mixed
method design for the content validation of the intervention and the Ecological Validity
Model (EVM) to culturally center the intervention. In the quantitative phase, aging experts
as well as community members from two activity centers for the elderly in Puerto
Rico completed a content validity ratio exercise. In the qualitative phase, we conducted
three focus groups with these participants. Data analysis included content validity ratio
and a directed content analysis. Results: This resulted in a working version of the
intervention protocol addressing the eight dimensions of the EVM. Conclusions: The
EVM can be used to culturally center preventive interventions to other ethnic minority
groups to augment the external validity and cultural competence of interventions.
Future research must test the feasibility of this new intervention. / This publication was supported by National Institute of Health (NIH), National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) [R25RR017589] in collaboration with Puerto Rico Clinical and Translational Research Consortium (PRCTRC) [8U54 MD 007587-03] and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) [8U54RR026139-01A1].
