Lau's (2006) analysis brought considerable clarity to these questions. We place Lau's insights and those of others within an elaborated framework that proposes tests of three types of cultural equivalence to determine when evidence-based treatments might merit adaptations: equivalence of (a) engagement, (b) action theory, and (c) conceptual theory. Extrapolating from Lau's examples and recommendations of others, we describe a sequence for developing adaptations that consists of the following phases: (a) information gathering, (b) preliminary adaptation design, (c) preliminary adaptation tests, and (d) adaptation refinement. |
