Which of the following is NOT one of the constructs in the Campinha-Bacote model of cultural competence?

Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence is built around five constructs that describe different dimensions of becoming culturally competent: Cultural Awareness, Cultural Knowledge, Cultural Skills, Cultural Encounters, and Cultural Desire. Cultural Awareness involves recognizing one’s own cultural influences; Cultural Knowledge means learning about other cultures’ health beliefs and practices; Cultural Skills refer to the ability to collect culturally relevant data and perform culturally appropriate assessments and interventions; Cultural Encounters are the direct interactions with people from diverse backgrounds that challenge biases; and Cultural Desire is the motivation to engage in the process of becoming culturally competent. Cultural Communication, while essential in practice, is not listed as a standalone construct in this model, though effective communication is often demonstrated through the other constructs, particularly Cultural Skills and Cultural Encounters. Therefore, Cultural Communication is the option that does not fit as one of the model’s constructs.
