Implementing the Cultural Formulation Interview in a Community Clinic to Improve Appointment Retention: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Despite consensus that clinicians should receive cultural competence training to reduce mental health disparities among racial-ethnic minority groups, few studies have evaluated training in community settings. This column delineates implementation of the DSM-5 Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) at a community hospital. Participating clinicians were able to implement the CFI after a single training session and offer administrative support and instructions on customizing care with lower- and middle-income, racially and ethnically diverse patients.
