Domain	Action
Peripheral	Design study materials to appear culturally appropriate (i.e., logo, recruitment materials)
Evidential	Enhance relevance of targeted health issues by presenting evidence of its impact (i.e., cancer disparities, impact of obesity, comorbidity burden)
Constituent-involving	Draw directly on the experiences of the target group (i.e., staff represent target group; inform intervention using qualitative data from target population; engage advisory group to provide feedback on study materials and procedures)
Sociocultural	Discuss health-related issues in the context of broader social and/or cultural values (i.e., role of God and faith in one’s daily life, woman’s central role in families, cancer fatalism and stigma, body image ideals, and the traditional roles of food)
Linguistic	Make health education programs and materials more accessible by providing them in the dominant or native language of target group
