Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument

The Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument (CCA) is a 25-item self-report measure designed to assess healthcare providers' cultural competence across four key domains: diversity experience, awareness, sensitivity, and competence behaviors. Developed by Schim, Doorenbos, and Borse in 2003, the CCA evaluates nurses' and other clinicians' readiness to provide culturally responsive care to diverse patient populations.
