Methods: A systematic review of review articles published between January 2000 and June 2012 was conducted.
Electronic databases (including Medline, Cinahl and PsycINFO), reference lists of articles, and key websites were
searched. Reviews of cultural competency in health settings only were included. Each review was critically
appraised by two authors using a study appraisal tool and were given a quality assessment rating of weak,
moderate or strong.
