This document provides instructions for completing a cultural competency assessment assignment. Students are asked to interview a person from a cultural background different than their own. Using the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence, students should ask the interviewee 12 questions across different cultural domains. These domains include background, communication styles, family roles, lifestyle, health practices, nutrition, pregnancy/childbearing, death rituals, and spirituality. Students will then submit a written report analyzing the interview responses, citing sources in APA format. The assignment aims to increase understanding of another cultural group.
