***Micro Aspects of the Model On a micro level, the model’s
organizing framework consists of 12 domains and their
concepts, which are common to all cultures. These 12 domains
are interconnected and have implications for health. The utility
of this organizing framework comes from its concise structure,
which can be used in any setting and applied to a broad range of
empirical experiences and can foster inductive and deductive
reasoning in the assessment of cultural domains. Once cultural
data are analyzed, the practitioner can fully adopt, modify, or
reject health-care interventions and treatment regimens in a

2. manner that respects the patient’s cultural differences. Such
adaptations improve the quality of the patient’s health-care
experiences and personal existence.
The Twelve Domains of Culture These are the 12 domains that
are essential for assessing the ethnocultural attributes of an
individual, family, or group:
1. Overview, inhabited localities, and topography
2. Communication
3. Family roles and organization
4. Workforce issues
5. Biocultural ecology
6. High-risk behaviors
7. Nutrition
8. Pregnancy and childbearing practices
9. Death rituals
10. Spirituality
