Multicultural Counseling Inventory/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multicultural Counseling Inventory

The Multicultural Counseling Inventory (MCI) is a 40-item self-report instrument designed to assess the multicultural competence of mental health counselors and healthcare providers. Originally developed by LaFromboise, Coleman, and Hernandez in 1991, the MCI evaluates five core competence factors: awareness of cultural assumptions and biases, knowledge of diverse cultures, skill in culturally appropriate intervention, and relationship-building capacity in multicultural contexts. The inventory is widely used in counselor training programs and healthcare education to evaluate readiness to work with diverse client populations.
