Description
Ankita Deshmukh, Sheetal Lakhani, and Vasudeo Paralikar report an analysis from two thousand twenty-six of why a cultural interview tool is hard to use in clinics. The interview helps mental health workers ask patients about family duties, money pressure, and social worlds. Clinicians often value the answers yet doubt what they have to do with culture.
The authors re-analyzed clinician accounts from ten earlier studies, covering one hundred twenty-eight clinicians in nine countries. They mapped views onto feasibility, acceptability, and clinical utility. Seven themes appeared in both older and newer studies, which suggests the barriers are structural, not passing. Time and workload alone do not explain the gap. Newer studies added system-level barriers and clinician strain.
