To help address these health disparities, programs that blend culturally relevant principles with biomedical guidelines have shown success in improving health knowledge and empowerment [19]. More culturally and linguistically relevant interventions to promote physical activity are needed among Asian Americans.

Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

For example, there is evidence that interpersonal factors (eg, stigma and personal shame), sociocultural factors (eg, fear of negative evaluation by family or peers, preference for traditional coping strategies such as withdrawal and “accepting fate”), and systemic factors (eg, lack of culturally centered clinical environments and culturally responsive services and language barriers) can make it difficult for members of racial-ethnic minoritized groups to access mental health care [20].

A Digital Music-Based Mindfulness Intervention (“healing attempt”) for Race-Based Anxiety in Black Americans

Similarly, the culturally adapted nature of the intervention also may have contributed to symptom reduction and the high feasibility scores in this experiment [10]. Some limitations should be acknowledged. First, the small sample size and within-subject design limit the ability to make strong causal claims from the results. Second, our prescreening criteria requiring participants to have familiarity with meditation limits generalizability.
