a

Values are whole numbers unless otherwise indicated. Values in columns may not sum to total or may exceed total value for n, because studies could adapt to accommodate more than 1 attribute or could report more than 1 outcome.

b

Theory-driven cultural adaptation process: C, cultural (PEN-3, Castro et al, 2010 [5]); OT, other theory/model (eg, community-based participatory research, social-cognitive theory, grounded theory).

c

Level of adaptation adapted from Resnicow et al (11).
